Pico-ITX board

20 March 2013 Computer/Embedded Technology

Based on the ultra-compact Pico-ITX form factor measuring only 10 x 7,2 cm, the VIA EPIA-P900 combines a 1,0 GHz Eden X2 CPU and the latest VIA VX900H MSP.

The board supports up to 4 GB of DDR3 memory, HD audio, HDMI, VGA and LVDS display connectivity, as well as a high-performance hardware HD video decoder in the shape of the latest VIA ChromotionHD 2.0 video engine.

The ChromotionHD 2.0 engine provides advanced filtering and post-processing to perform ultra smooth decoding of H.264, MPEG-2, VC-1, WMV9 and HDCP for Blu-ray content protection, providing smooth playback of the most demanding multimedia titles at resolutions up to 1080p without incurring a heavy CPU load.

The VIA EPIA-P900 features the VIA Vinyl VT2021, a 10-channel HD audio codec, delivering advanced sound quality and support for Blu-ray and HD DVD audio content protection.

Onboard pin headers provide support for an additional five USB 2.0 ports, an LPC connector, SMBus connector, PS/2 support, audio jacks, LVDS, four pairs of DIO and two UART ports. Rear I/O includes one HDMI port, one VGA port, two USB 2.0 ports and a GigaLAN port.
