VIA Technologies has announced the new VIA vm7700 VESA mounted PC (vmpc) which turns a standard display panel into a fully functional PC for signage, kiosk and other intelligent display applications, providing space management, cost effectiveness and a flexible alternative to traditional panel PCs.
The vmpc vm7700 leverages the industry-standard VESA 10×10cm mounting specification for simple attachment behind the customer's screen of choice, and offers considerable cost savings when upgrading or replacing screens, highlighted VIA. Through-chassis mounting allows the VIA vm7700 to be secured behind a flat screen display quickly, or firmly mounted on walls or under desks, while dual-view support extends display utility.
Fanless configurations based on a 1.0GHz VIA C7 or 1.5GHz VIA Eden ULV processor and the ultra low power VIA CX700M2 system media processor enable the vm7700 to deliver a solution packed with rich multimedia features within a maximum power of only 12W and a 45-degrees Celsius thermal envelope.
Housed within a durable, thin, black 26×180×298mm chassis, the vm7700 provides the solution for a wide spectrum of intelligent display applications, such as state-of-the-art casino gaming, home automation, information kiosks, timetable boards, advertising and more, as well as a discreet system for space-constrained locations, said VIA.
