VIA EPIA N-Series Overview
The VIA EPIA N-Series Nano-ITX Mainboard is an ultra compact x86 motherboard design with unprecedented expandability and versatility for today’s ever-growing need of embedded applications. The mainboard is based on the VIA Luke CoreFusion™ processor featuring an embedded hardware MPEG-2 decoder / MPEG-4 accelerator and integrated VIA UniChrome™ Pro 2D/3D graphics for rich digital media performance. With the sizable memory bandwidth of DDR400 SDRAM SODIMM, the high data transfer speeds of ATA-133 and Serial ATA and further enhanced by support of 6-Channel AC’97 codec for Smart 5.1 surround sound, the VIA EPIA N-Series delivers the increased performance levels required of today’s embedded digital media applications.
The latest in high-bandwidth connectivity is supported with up to eight USB 2.0 ports, as well as an 10/100 Fast Ethernet port for extended broadband connectivity. The VIA EPIA N-Series also offers support for a number of LVDS embedded LCD panels, TV-out, S-Video, Video interface port and has one Mini-PCI slot for expandability options. The VIA EPIA N-Series is compatible with a full range of Nano­ITX chassis as well as FlexATX and MicroATX enclosures and power supplies.
The VIA EPIA N-Series is fully compatible with Microsoft® and Linux operating systems and is available in a variety of configurations, including the fanless VIA Luke CoreFusion™ processor for silent system designs.
