Mini ITX Drives 4 Independent Stretched Displays

With Litemax’s reputation as the forerunner of sunlight readable, high brightness industrial displays, what better way to push the technological margins than by having WynMax (a division of Litemax Electronics) produce an Industrial Embedded Board, capable of running 4 Independent Displays!

Why is an 'Independent' Display such a big deal?

With installations becoming more space dependant, this board could become an all important feature for future projects.  Imagine a kiosk hosting multiple displays with one System driving it. Digital signage can be shown as a ‘Video Wall’ or each display screening original content, from one source. And with the AMIX-BEGO-A77E Operating Temperature range of 0°C ~ 60°C (32°F ~ 140°F) there’s plenty of room for Industrial Applications.

 
Using a graphics hungry AMD RX-425BB (2.5GHz, QC, 35W) Processor, we put this board to the test by looping HD footage over 4 Stretched Displays (each having it’s own independent desktop) - different Ratios, orientations and resolutions and it brought some exciting results.

Introducing the Momentum Series from Cervoz

Cervoz develops, produces and markets industrial storage and memory products for the professional, critical and diverse industrial applications.

One of their new developments has recently been brought to our attention. They have produced a new high performance MLC SSD solution. MLC flash is most commonly used in consumer grade products such as cameras, phones and memory sticks. However Cervoz is bringing MLC technology to the Industrial market by using a DRAM buffer to increase its lifecycle. The MTBF of these SSD’s is now 2,000,000 hours. Another benefit of this DRAM buffer is that it also optimises the performance of the SSD.

Cervoz is seeing large performance increases by adding this DRAM buffer. Sequential write speeds have been increased from 160MB/s to over 280MB/s. We can also excitingly take a look at over a 200% increase in the 4KQD values. The 4KQD values are the closest to the general users operating environment and are therefore the greatest values for reference. 

Capacity	32GB	64GB	128GB	256GB	512GB
Sequential Read	220MB/s	430 MB/s	510 MB/s	510 MB/s	560 MB/s
Sequential Write	35 MB/s	75 MB/s	145 MB/s	285 MB/s	420 MB/s
4KB Random Read	80 MB/s	160 MB/s	265 MB/s	285 MB/s	285 MB/s
4KB Random Write	35 MB/s	75 MB/s	145 MB/s	235 MB/s	305 MB/s

You can download the data sheets for the Momentum Series here.

Small, fast and quiet – Introducing ASRock’s new NUC Box 3000 for triple digital signage applications

ASRock introduces the powerful NUC Box 3000 – a fanless, dual-core embedded PC. With its incredibly low power operation and compact size, this semi-industrial unit offers triple monitor support – one supporting 4K display – and is ideal for use across a wide range of professional applications, including POS, POI, casino, education and healthcare. 

Powered by an Intel Braswell Celeron N3000 processor, the NUC Box 3000 supports dual channel memory with a maximum capacity of 16GB. Equipped with two HDMI ports and a DisplayPort interface, the ASRock embedded PC allows for three independent displays to be driven simultaneously, meeting unique requirements of system integrators. By installing DDR3L memory DIMMs, for example, the NUC Box 3000 can become an extremely cost-competitive solution for achieving 4K playback. 

“ASRock’s energy-efficient, fanless design of the NUC Box 3000 enables it to be used in dusty or, conversely, medical (dust-free) environments,” says Brendan O’Reilly, product manager at Display Solutions. “An additional benefit of eliminating the fan is that the end-equipment will run more quietly. Fans can also be a critical point of failure - operating temperature will rise if the cooling fan breaks, dramatically increasing the chance of hardware failure.” 

The NUC Box 3000 is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1 and 7, and is CE-marked to FCC specifications.
