The ultimate platform for the next generation of
innovative digital media devices and home entertainment
centers.
The VIA
EPIA M-Series Mini-ITX Mainboard is a revolutionary,
ultra-compact x86 platform optimized for today's killer
digital applications. At just 17cm x 17cm, Mini-ITX is the
world's smallest native x86 mainboard platform, and is fully
compatible with Microsoft® and Linux Operating Systems.
Available with an embedded VIA Eden?™ ESP processor core for
fanless systems with ultra low-power requirements, or an
embedded VIA C3™ E-Series processor for more demanding digital
multimedia applications, the EPIA M-Series is the perfect
platform for a whole range of small form factor, low-power
digital media devices and home entertainment centers.
The EPIA M-Series' VIA Apollo CLE266 chipset features
an embedded MPEG-2 decoder for silky smooth DVD playback, and
integrated 2D/3D graphics for a rich multimedia experience.
With the sizable memory bandwidth of DDR266 SDRAM and the high
data transfer speeds of ATA/133, the EPIA M-Series ensures the
high performance levels required of today's most popular
digital media applications. The user's digital media
experience is further enhanced by support for 5.1 surround
sound, courtesy of the onboard VIA VT1616 6 Channel AC'97
codec.
The latest in high-bandwidth connectivity is supported
with both IEEE 1394 and USB 2.0 connections provided, as well
as S-Video and RCA TV-Out (NTSC & PAL) and 10/100 Ethernet
for seamless broadband connectivity. The EPIA M-Series also
offers support for the latest LVDS embedded LCD panels, has
one PCI slot for expandability options, and is compatible with
a full range of Mini-ITX chassis as well as FlexATX and
MicroATX chassis.
