As its name suggests, the EMB-BSW1 utilizes the latest iteration of Intel’s SoC products that was geared specifically towards mobile devices. In addition to enhancements brought on by the new chips, which include improved power consumption, thermals, and performance, the board itself carries a number of features to aid its designedpurpose of digital signage, ATM, and POS applications.

Firstly, its power requirement is compliant to the industrial standard of 12 -24 V. It sports a low profile design that aims to minimize the room required for a chassis. The arrangement of some of the on-board components also revolves around this concept; the DP (DisplayPort)/HDMI combo port is featured for maximizing room available on the board, while offering more display options for the user.

Graphically, the board is capable of dual display from HMDI, DP, LVDS, and eDP options, which, when used individually, outputs 4K (HDMI/DP), and 2K (LVDS/eDP) resolutions. The board also carries a total of 10 USB ports (four USB 3.0, six USB 2.0), along with MiniCard slots for all of your expansion needs.

“SoCs are always great for embedded computing given its small size, low energy requirement and high performance. T the N3000 series just brings it up a notch” said Clark Lee, Product Manager of AAEON’s Industrial PC Division. “Combining these characteristics with the advantages of Mini-ITX, we have something truly wonderful on our hands”.
