VIA Technologies announces the ART-3000, a complete, fanless and ruggedized embedded box system based on the I/O-rich Em-ITX form factor. Available as a complete system including drives and memory, the fanless ART-3000 combines diskless booting, excellent vibration and shock resistance, dual Gigabit networking and dual LVDS video support. Ruthlessly low power consumption means the ART-3000 can also support fanless configurations with no moving parts making it ideal for ultra stable, mission critical implementations.
The ART-3000 is built around the EITX-3000 board powered by a 1.3GHz VIA Nano processor and the VIA VX800 media system processor, supporting up to 2GB of DDR2 system memory, integrated VIA Chrome 9 graphics core and the VIA Chromotion video engine for hardware acceleration for the latest HD video codecs.
The ART-3000 supports up to three displays and two independent video content streams, across dual LVDS and VGA ports. Networking is through dual Gigabit ports, with an array COM and USB ports providing a wealth of device and peripheral connectivity. The ART-3000 supports wall, table, reverse and VESA mounting options and can withstand temperatures of -20 - 60ºC, vibrations of up to 5Gs and shock resistance up to 20Gs in compact flash storage configurations.
