Introduction
Runing on NS Geode
series Low Power CPUs, the GENE-4310 is ideal for demanding
multimedia abd networking application. Due to the compact size, this
SBC offers several impressive industrial features. First, this
powerful solution is suitable for mobile applications that require
low-hear dissipation. The onboard NS Geode series can be operated in
fanless environment. Second, this SubCompact board offers a
suppicient memory bank with an onboard 144-pin SODIMM socket
allowing for up to 128MB of SDRAM, also that supports a Compact
Flash disk Type II. The AC-97 2.0 Sound Blaster compatible audio
complements that VGA display with resolution of up to 124 x 768. At
64K color depth, this SBC is able to display both a CRT and Flat
panel simultaneously. It supports non-interlaced CRTs and up to
18-bit TFT LCD displays. The GENE-4310 is able equipped with
100Base-Tx Fast Ethernetthat provides the means to get straight onto
a LAN (Local Area Network), allowing you to avail of its 100MB Fast
Ethernet bandwidth. The GENE-4310T model is an adaptation to the
original with two additional functions. The GENE-4310T adds LVDS.
Low voltage differential signaling is a low noice, low power, low
amplitude method for high-speed (gigabits per second) data
transmission over copper wire. In addition, type T also has a RCA
Jack for TV-out connection. The GENE-4310S is also an adaption of
the initial design, however the S type only incorporatee the LVDS
function.
