Computer-On-Modules

Kontron announced the availability of two new variants to enhance its COMe-cOH# range of COM Express® compact Computer-on-Modules. The new modules are dedicated to PCI based designs and are based on the energy efficient AMD Embedded G-Series accelerated processing units (APUs). The compact Kontron COMe-cOH2 provides increased graphics performance to SFF COM Express applications with pin-out type 2, as well as parallel processing capability and low power consumption. OEMs and system developers can also use the new modules as a drop-in replacement to upgrade their existing applications, thereby improving their return on investment. With support for Direct X 11 and OpenGL 4.0, the Kontron COM Express compact Computer-on-Modules COMe-cOH2 provide the latest graphics features and bring a new user experience to SFF gaming and Kiosk POI/POS systems. Even with high graphics performance, their optimised energy efficiency simplifies the design of appliances with tight power and thermal restrictions. Video oriented applications benefit from the integrated Universal Video Decoder 3.0, which enables dual HD video playback (1080p) with minimal processor usage. And for computing intensive applications such as medical imaging and automation systems, the modules offer accelerated processing power with the programmable graphics unit via OpenCL™ 1.1 and Microsoft’s DirectCompute. With PCI 2.3 support, the new Kontron COM Express compact modules COMe-cOH2 are the ideal successor platform for all applications based on COM Express type 2 modules that used older generations of x86 technology. Kontron is a global leader in embedded computing technology. With more than 30% of its employees in R&D, the company creates many of the standards that drive the world’s embedded computing platforms. It’s product longevity, local engineering and support, and value-added services, helps create a sustainable and viable embedded solution for OEMs and system integrators.
