PCM-9550FM Answers Video Intensive Market Needs

Advantech has just added the PCM-9550FM to our product line. Expanding on the PCM-9550F previously introduced, this EBX form factor board adds video-in and TV-out capability which supports both NTSC and PAL formats. Like the PCM-9550F, there is also an optional Asiliant (C&T) 69030 chip with 4 MB built-in memory plus support for dual display CRT-LCD or TV-LCD. The PCM-9550F/M both provide an impressive array of standard multimedia features. These include AC97 3D surround sound, a VGA/CRT controller Asiliant (C&T) 69000 with built-in 2 MB memory and a 36-bit LCD interface. This low-power, fanless SBC expands the application possibilities and flexibility that accommodate today's video intensive uses.

A Well Rounded SBC

The PCM-9550F/M's fast, low-power Pentium® MMX™ 266 MHz processor, EBX form factor, digital input/output capability and multimedia features, make it a great embedded platform to build an application around. The low power consumption (typically 3 amps at 5 volts) and fanless operation in temperatures up to 60° C (140° F), make this board great for a variety of applications ranging from medical and POS to full multimedia in the PCM-9550FM's case. The proven Pentium® MMX 266 MHz processor and Intel® 430 chipset both offer guaranteed long term supply and support (typically 5 years). This factor is critical in the medical device field where licensing and product approval are stricter.

The EBX form factor provides an easy to integrate embedded layout as well as a high-speed PCI bus for expansion modules such as 100 Mbps Ethernet or fax/modem. Customers can also easily apply their own PCI devices to this interface as well as other cost-effective off-the-shelf additions. Other features include a mini PCI socket, 512 KB 2nd level cache, 2 LPT, 2 USB, fast IrDA and 4 serial ports: 3 RS-232 and 1 RS-232/422/485. The SSD solution also supports both DiskOnChip® 2000 and CompactFlash™ card.

Multimedia Benefits and Flexibility

The benefits the PCM-9550FM brings to a system integrator are highlighted below. Beyond the base PCM-9550F's strong SBC benefits, which include low-power, fanless operation and digital input/output capability, let us summarize the multimedia benefits of the PCM-9550FM.

  • Higher TV-out quality
  • Dual display capability that allows for a variety of configurations that meet different application needs, cost needs, hardware requirements and capabilities.
  • CRT-LCD or TV-LCD
  • Video-in that supports RCA and S-video connectors
  • TV-out capability which supports NTSC and PAL formats
