Combining both PCI Express and PCI edge connectors on half-size form factor, 45 nm PICOe-GM45A CPU card features Intel® Core(TM)2 Duo processor that is interfaced to Intel® GM45 graphics and memory controller hub through front side bus with maximum speed of 1,066 MHz. It supports two 800 MHz 2.0 Gb dual-channel DDR2 SDRAM DIMM, VGA displays, 18- or 24-bit dual-channel LVDS displays, and HDTV-out in single or dual-display format. It also features Intel® ICH9M I/O controller hub. This story is related to the following:Computer Hardware and PeripheralsSearch for suppliers of: Central Processing Unit (CPU) Boards

AT-HD19SS, combined with AT-HDRS, form expandable solution for routing HD video and audio to multiple remote displays. AT-HD19SS units take HD video at resolutions up to 1080p over a HDMI 1.2a connection, and extend signal over single CAT5/5e/6 cable up to 200 ft. At each display end, cable is connected to AT-HDRS receiver units that feature adjustable equalizer, which ensures signal quality with no degradation. System can be cascaded, allowing for infinite number of display locations.
