Kontron announced the launch of the 3U VPX graphics board VX3324, offering desktop-class graphics capabilities. The board comes in an embedded form factor and targets military and aerospace applications. It has been designed for long lifecycle applications and is equipped with the AMD Radeon E6460 graphics processing unit.

The graphics board has been optimised for size, weight, power and cooling (SWAP-C) constrained applications and supports the latest high-end graphics performance features such as DirectX 11 OpenGL 4.0 and Shader model 5.0, providing an immersive 3D user experience. Moreover, it supports multi-monitor environments with its support of up to three independent high-resolution monitors.

Despite its powerful graphics capabilities, the VX3324 requires only up to 22 Watts, enabling applications to be designed with a low-power footprint and low heat dissipation to meet the needs of power and heat sensitive situational awareness, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance applications. Further target segments include command and control workstations, radar consoles and cockpit displays.

Users can experience an increased field of view by spanning the video signal across three monitors. The integrated unified video decoder effectively offloads the system host processor when decoding HD H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2, or MPEG-4 part 2 video streams, leaving maximum system resources for mission-critical tasks. Furthermore, the stereoscopic 3D capability of the board enables OEMs to equip ground control stations of unmanned vehicles with a high level of immersion and precision.

Due to its standard MXM 3.0 modules, the VX3324 offers integrated future-proof scalability. OEMs can integrate new modules as they are launched without the need for a mechanical redesign. Plus, they are presented with a safe migration path which allows for simplified upgrades of image-centric applications and increased investment security of devices with long lifecycles.

The board supports Linux and Windows operating systems, and can be ordered as a standalone solution or integrated into Kontron’s rugged multi-mission ApexVX computer system.
