Congatec AG, a leading manufacturer of embedded computer modules, extends its board-level product range with the first industrial Mini-ITX motherboard. The new embedded motherboards will meet the same standards and quality as the established computer-on-modules from Congatec. Additional services include 7+ years availability, global technical support, extended manuals, specifications and customized design services.The Conga-IGX Mini ITX board is based on AMD Embedded G-Series SOC technology and integrates the next-generation computing power of the "Jaguar" based processor and high performance AMD Radeon graphics cores in a compact package.Users benefit from outstanding multimedia performance, an excellent performance-per-watt ratio and flexible task allocation on the CPU and GPU. Thanks to these features, the new Conga-IGX board is an ideal solution for cost-sensitive visualization and control applications."Embedded Mini-ITX is a great addition to our computer-on-module family and extends our embedded computer scalability with a great entrance product on the board level. Additional Mini-ITX boards will soon follow," said Martin Danzer, director, Product Management, Congatec AG.The right processor technologyCongatec offers three new Mini ITX motherboards on the AMD Embedded G-Series SOC platform. A low-energy 9W TDP 1.0 GHz dual-core processor GX-210HA SOC with integrated AMD Radeon HD 8210E graphics; a dual-core 18W TDP GX-217GA SOC processor model with integrated AMD Radeon HD 8280E graphics; and a 2.0 GHz quad-core AMD embedded GX-420CA SOC with integrated AMD Radeon HD 8400E graphics.The AMD embedded G-Series SoC platform integrates all the aforementioned demands in a single system-on-chip design. AMD is leading in the development of a heterogeneous system architecture (HSA) which is also fundamental for IoT applications. Furthermore, AMD has developed the embedded G-Series SoCs specifically for power-, graphic-, and cost-sensitive SFF designs. They are available as dual- and quad-core versions and are based on the "Jaguar" CPU core with 28nm manufacturing technology and 8000-series AMD Radeon graphics. They can process more instructions per clock cycle, which is also reflected in the execution of various compute-intensive industry standard benchmarks: Compared to the Intel Atom, the AMD G-Series SoCs achieve a 125% improvement in CPU performance when performing industry-standard compute-intensive benchmarks, according to the vendor. The ability of the SoC platform to support enterprise-class error-correction code memory (ECC) makes it the perfect choice for applications requiring high levels of data integrity without compromising energy efficiency.The discrete-class graphics, which are integrated into the AMD Embedded G-Series SoC, enable power applications that previously required a separate graphics processor. AMD G-Series SoCs provide up to 20% more performance when compared to the previous generation AMD G-Series processors and a five-fold improvement over the Intel Atom D525 processor. DirectX 11 and OpenGL are supported on up to two independent displays. Thanks to an improved Universal Video Decoder, new opportunities have opened up for hardware-based video encoding. Furthermore, with the open computing language, OpenCL, computing-intensive tasks can be reassigned to the graphics processor with high parallelism. For such applications, the integrated GPU provides a computing performance of up to 256 GFLOPs. This allows AMD Embedded G-Series SoCs to be used in deeply embedded or "headless" IoT appliances, which are used in environments without a screen, monitor or input device and which do not require a graphics solution.The Conga-IGX featuresThe integrated AMD Radeon graphics feature the Universal Video Decoder 4.2 for seamless processing of BluRays with HDCP (1080p), MPEG-2, HD and DivX (MPEG-4) videos. The conga-IGX also supports DirectX 11.1 and OpenGL 4.0 for fast 2D and 3D imaging and OpenCL 1.1. Interface options include single/dual channel 18/24bit LVDS, DisplayPort 1.2 and DVI/HDMI 1.4a and enable the direct control of two independent displays. DisplayPort 1.2 also enables ATI Eyefinity multi-display technology for panorama view and multi-streaming, making it possible to control up to two displays per graphics port in daisy chain mode.The low power draw of the new SOCs also makes fanless designs possible. This not only makes the systems quieter, but also more reliable since unreliable mechanical components such as fans can be eliminated. Sophisticated power management has a positive impact whenever there are wait times in an application. CPU state C6 "deep power down" is available on the multimedia engine as well, making it possible to further reduce power consumption without impairing ease of use since the computer needs less than a millisecond in order to switch from energy saving mode to full computing power.1x PCIe x4 connector and Mini-PCI Express onboard, Dual GbE LAN onboard, 2x Serial ATA III, 1x mSATA (SATA III) socket support, 7x USB 2.0 and 2x USB3.0 onboard, 8 Bit GPIO onboard, 3x serial port and 1x parallel port onboard allow flexible system expansion at high data bandwidth. DC power supply 12V/19-24V, ACPI 3.0 power management and high-definition audio complete the package.Ready for IoTThe fastest way for OEMs to integrate the AMD G-Series SoC into their IoT (Internet of Things) designs is by using Congatec's Mini-ITX motherboards. They can be obtained off-the-shelf and are ready-to-use, plus, they boast a broad ecosystem of building blocks such as peripherals, chassis and cooling solutions. This makes system development a comfortable, fast and easy task. However, not just any motherboard is suitable for IoT appliances. OEMs should check for high quality boards with long-term availability. An intelligent board design with high EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), long-lasting components, such as poscaps and an extended temperature range, is essential, if OEMs want reliable IoT appliances. With the premiere of its first industrial motherboard, Congatec has now also transferred its expertise and quality standards of computer-on-modules into the SBC (single board computer) market. OEMs will benefit from the company's high German engineering quality together with an additional services range of 7+ years availability. Further examples of the added value provided are the global technical support, extended specifications and customized design services.Congatec's first Mini-ITX with AMD embedded G-Series SOC, integrated Radeon graphics on board, and 7+ years availability.Photo: Company
During 2013, award-winning composer Hans Zimmer first used the new DTS Headphone:X surround sound technology to produce the "Man of Steel" motion picture soundtrack. This advanced technology, developed by the audio experts at DTS, allows mobile devices to accurately reproduce the acoustics of a studio soundstage through an ordinary pair of headphones.Not long ago, it was believed that to enjoy a premium surround sound experience, one would have to own high-end home theater equipment. But, DTS, a leader in high-definition audio solutions and audio enhancement technologies, has shaken up this common perception with its Headphone:X technology, which is capable of recreating up to an 11.1 channel home theater surround sound environment on mobile devices.Aaron Chen, GM, Business Development Taiwan, APAC said, "Although people are used to listening to music and watching videos over mobile networks, two-channel stereo headphones that normally come with mobile devices simply cannot offer the same kind of listening experience as found in a high-quality audio production studio. But, thanks to the advanced technology behind Headphone:X, listeners are now free from their hardware's limitations and able to turn their mobile devices into powerful pocket-sized home theaters."Headphone:X: Home Theater in Your PocketIn early 2014, DTS introduced the Headphone:X Tuning Program that offers headphone makers access to tools and support designed to optimize their products to deliver an excellent Headphone:X experience. Leading headphone manufacturers, including Panasonic, Skullcandy and Turtle Beach, have joined the program. Meanwhile, DTS has been working with mobile brands to build the Headphone:X interface, a control center for the technology that contains options for consumers to select their specific headphones from a list, personalize the overall experience to their taste and save the settings as a unique profile, into their mobile products.It is also worth noting that the Hi-Fi smartphone XPlay 3S debuted by Chinese manufacturer Vivo, is fitted with Headphone:X, offering users access to not only the Headphone:X app, but to content mixed for the technology - allowing them to enjoy immersive mobile content with DTS surround sound anywhere, anytime.Headphone:X continues to expand its footprint beyond hardware to content owners. After the successful launch of the "Man of Steel" app on Hans Zimmer's Z+ platform, many other original motion picture soundtracks and music albums have been produced in the format.Play-Fi Certified ODM Program Garners Wide SupportThe other state-of-the-art audio solution from DTS is Play-Fi, a wireless audio streaming technology that connects all the music on your mobile devices to one or more speakers in the home for friends and families to share, all over a standard WiFi connection.According to Chen, "Play-Fi is an advanced open audio platform capable of streaming lossless, high-quality audio from Android, iOS and Windows devices to multiple rooms from multiple users simultaneously using a standard WiFi network. Consumers only need to download and launch the free Play-Fi app, which automatically finds and connects speakers to the WiFi network via any standard wireless router (no need for a costly exclusive receiver), with only five to 10 minutes taken to get the system set up."To expand the Play-Fi ecosystem, DTS announced earlier this year a Play-Fi Certified ODM Program. The program currently includes several leading audio manufacturers, including: Lite-On Technology, Meiloon Industrial, AmTRAN Technology, Wistron, Zylux Acoustic, Eastech Electronics, Fenda Technology, Hansong Technology and Tymphany. Leading audio brands, such as Polk and Definitive Technology will also soon be rolling out their own Play-Fi speaker solutions, and the technology continues to expand to include personal devices such as mobile phones and laptops.At Computex Taipei 2014, Asustek will showcase new products to feature Play-Fi, while G-Star will unveil headphones with Headphone:X processing built-in. Additionally, Acer is expected to debut four new smartphones incorporating DTS audio enhancement technology. At this year's Computex, visitors can get a glimpse of DTS' advanced audio technologies, not only at the DTS booth, but at several of its partners' booths as well.The V5 Wi-Fi speaker of Wren Sound Systems that supports the Play-Fi standardPhoto: Company

Since 1998 when it delivered the 1st Direct IDE-IDE RAID 1 disk array subsystem in the world, Accordance Systems has continued providing different disk array products for over 16 years. Its disk array series "ARAID" is not only available in Japan, the US, Europe, Australia and Taiwan; it has also been selected by various customers as their standard disk array products. Accordance is leading the market again this year by launching native SATA III RAID 1 disk arrays which support 6Gbps SATA III 3.5-inch hard drives and 2.5-inch HDD / SSDs. ARAID 5000 and ARAID M500 series offer faster data read/write speeds.ARAID 5000 and ARAID M500 series can be operated without any drivers. Once installation is completed, the BIOS will detect this unit as a single hard drive and then it can start operation immediately. The conditions and accessing of the hard drives are indicated by LED indicators and on LCD monitors. When any of the hard drives fail, the buzzer will automatically sound an alarm. When a new hard drive is installed, the automatic rebuilding progress will be displayed on the LCD monitor. The computer or equipment can continue to work without shutting down.ARAID 5000 and ARAID M500 series include high-speed ASICs, CPUs, RAM and ROM, and will not occupy any system sources. Their performance efficiency is better than other software-based disk array modules. Meeting the high standards of multi-tasking and nearly 24/7 requirements, they guarantee all the data are completely written into two hard drives. With Accordance's specially-designed fast switch button, users can simply set the hard drives into a single disk access or turn on two hard drives backup functions simultaneously. Hence, the hard drives can be accessed by flexible configurations, which can avoid the hard drives from getting the virus and causing data loss.ARAID 5000 and ARAID M500 series not only continue to feature Accordance's unique "SNMP management" technology; ARAID series products also include ARAID SMART monitoring and management utility to meet customers' needs. Users can use ARAID SMART utility to monitor the hard drive and check the disk array status. When the hard drive SMART warning occurs, it will use sound, e-mail or SNMP to inform users that the hard drive is starting to produce bad sectors. Thus, the user can have an early warning and exchange it as soon as possible, instead of waiting until the hard drive completely fails. This ensures data security.Accordance Systems has also introduced the innovative HDD accelerator, "GF-HDD Turbo," which is able to improve work efficiency, save power on/off time, and decrease data read/write time. GF-HDD Turbo does not need to install any cards and drivers. It supports various SSD brands, and easy Plug and Play. It allows users to reduce wait time, accelerating computer operations. The use of GF-HDD Turbo can not only save about 30-50% of the time at the computer on/off stage, but also improve by about 50- 200% in terms of effectiveness at the data access stage. Users who use older computer models will enjoy great improvements to their computer performance by using GF-HDD Turbo.Accordance Systems has been committed to enhancing computer data security and data access performance. It has been at the forefront of the market. The future trends at Accordance Systems will be to use the Internet to enable automatic management of equipment. Thus, the company has launched the new solution, "RCVM" (Remote Control Video Management), which can provide users with real-time video monitoring and remote troubleshooting systems for their PCs at the production lines.RCVM is an integration of video capture network modules, and the maintenance staff will be able to view split-screen images with real-time display on the RCVM system. When there is a problem, the maintenance personnel can click on the computer screen directly to get remote connection immediately for troubleshooting, which makes it unnecessary for the maintenance personnel to strive to reach the scenes in the shortest time possible. This can reduce loss of production. It can also integrate with AOR recording systems to record what is displayed on the computer screens. Recordings of the images on the computer screen can be played back later to enhance review of the management.Accordance is at Computex booth at J0330, 1st floor of TWTC Nangang Exhibition Hall.Email: salesworld@accordance.com.twPhone: +886-2-2726-3239.Website: http://www.accordance.com.twAccordance ARAID 5000 & ARID M500 disk array productsPhoto: Company
