VIA launches new HD capable Pico-ITX

Imagine a digital interactive device that's about the size of a paperback and can play HD video at 1080p with no fans in the system! By combining the VX855 Media System Processor with a VIA Eden processor, the EPIA-P720 makes it possible.

"Today’s digital interactive devices give users a more immersive and enhanced experience, employing high quality, high resolution video content. Using the latest video compression technologies, like the increasingly popular H.264 codec, HD media playback usually requires a substantial processing overhead, negating the possibility of a completely fanless compact system.

With the VIA EPIA-P720, the VIA VX855 MSP takes the video decompression burden from the central processor, applying industry-leading hardware acceleration for the most compression-intensive codecs, including H.264, VC1, WMV9 and MPEG 2/4, at display resolutions up to 1080p. The VIA EPIA-P720 also boasts several display connectivity options including native HDMI, VGA and LVDS support."
