Sapphire PGS is displaying various professional solutions at Computex 2013 at Nangang Exhibition Hall 5F meeting room No. 503.The digital signage concept is still the display focus of Sapphire PGS for this year. The ideal solution that digital signage SI or customers want the most has three focuses. First is that they want to use a minimal number of system units to control the maximum number of high definition displays in order to save energy and prevent cross-systems of different units from affecting the stability. Secondly they want the high graphics performance to execute the high resolution or heavy loading content to catch the audience's eyeball. Third, they want the solution to include a simple, flexible, and easy to use scheduling software.Sapphire PGS is displaying a set of 18X1 Portrait mode arrangements at the exhibition, which only uses one system along with 3 AMD FirePro W9000 6 output graphics card to display a 19440 x 1920 resolution. A long strip arrangement is a very common digital signage arrangement: for example, electronic clothing catalog, menu display at restaurants, flight information billboards or artwork display at museums etc. This 18-monitor digital signage display works along with the PowerCastX software which was developed by Sapphire itself. The user interface of this software is very intuitive and simple, and allows users to define many sets of schedules with automatic looping and playback. It can also support the playback of multiple 1080P videos, and supports outputs including flash, dynamic websites and audio, etc. This set of displays will provide a best new selection for many digital signage integrators.Another display is the current development trend cloud concept. The demonstration is a remote graphics solution, which uses the AMD FirePro R5000 remote graphics card integrated with the newest 28nm GCN architecture and the PCoIP techonology from Teradici. This allows the remote (client)-terminal to directly own the hardware equipment and graphic functions of the host-terminal, and supports up to fur displays at the remote (client)-terminal. The usage of remote graphics will allow the host-terminal company to vastly save on hardware equipment fees, and simultaneously achieve the data access confidentiality function.There will also be multiple professional graphics software set on-site, such as Dassault Solidworks 2013, CREO 2.0 from PTC, and the newest Premiere Pro from AdobeE, allowing all professional CAD/CAM/M&E users to experience the stunning optimized performance of the all new W series on-site.SAPPHIRE PGS to Display Digital Signage and Remote Graphic Solutions at COMPUTEX 2013SAPPHIRE Technology at Computex 2013 Date: June 4- June 8 (9:30-18:00)Place: Nangang Exhibiton Hall 5FMeeting Room: No. 503

Waltop International Corp., a global leader in electromagnetic (EM) based pen input design and manufacturing, announced the launch of the world's first battery-free digitizer pen with only 4.5 mm pen diameter, which targets the mobile device market with pen input solution. The Waltop EM digitizer module with 4.5mm pen effectively reduces 1~2mm thickness of smartphone body to 9.0mm & tablet to 7.8mm, or less, making it an indispensable handwriting tool for mobile devices that are created to be thinner and lighter.The newly-released 4.5mm digitizer module is Waltop's latest design innovation based on the company's patented EM technology.

Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics held a promotional event, the "A9 Dual-core Chip RK3168 of the World's Lowest Power Consumption," at the Midsummer Hall on the third floor of the Shenzhen Pavilion Hotel in China last month. During the event, which attracted a large number of solution providers, brand manufacturers and media personnel, Rockchip announced that RK3168 had entered mass production.Compared with other dual-core chips on the market, RK3168 has three major advantages:- Power consumption: Rockchip's dual-core chip boasts the world's lowest power consumption, half of that for the dual-A7 program.- Design: It is quad-dual compatible, one board for double purposes.- Performance: The performance of RK3168 with dual-A9 core doubles that of the dual-A7 program, but consumes only half as much power because it is made using at the 28nm node. RK3168 supports the latest Android 4.2.2 and Miracast screen mirror, as well as multimedia sharing between mobile phones, tablets and TVs.RK3168 chips are ultra-low power consumption, only half of that of the Cortex-A7 dual-core chip. A 7-inch tablet running on RK3138 and a 3000mAh battery can play HD video for eight hours continuously. RK3168 uses ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core architecture; the highest frequency is 1.2GHz.Its quad-dual compatibility, with one board for double purposes, is the most significant feature of Rockchip's RK3168. RK3168 can achieve quick switching between dual-core and quad-core of the same PCB board. Dual-core RK3168 can be replaced with a high-end 28nm RK3188 quad-core chip pin to pin, so that solution providers and brand developers can save costs and time in product development, have a more comprehensive product layout and quickly respond to the changes in the dual-core/quad-core market.The RK3168 program has passed the Google Global GMS and CTS certification, and can help customers access the mainstream market in Europe and America.Nowadays, quad-core has become the hottest topic in the tablet market, but single-core still occupies a large part of the market. Dual-core is expected to replace single core this year. RK3168 features high-end performance, low-power consumption and is cost effective.CONTACT: Chanel Xing, +86-591-83991906, xyy@rock-chips.com
