VIA announces 2 new Nano based EPIA boards

VIA has announced two new EPIA branded boards which will feature VIA Nano processors. The boards are designed for commerical multimedia applications like digital signage, ticketing and information kiosks.

The VIA EPIA-M800 is a Mini-ITX board and it's available with a 1.6GHz Nano processor or a fanless 1.2GHz version.

"The latest display technologies are supported via a front panel DVI port with pin-headers for an additional DVI or HDMI port through a daughterboard. Support for 18-bit TTL signal output as well as a digital video input is available through pin headers supporting CCIR–656/601/ transport stream video. An S/PDIF connector is also supported.

Storage includes both an IDE port with a shared Compact Flash port, 2 SATA II ports and up to 6 USB 2.0 ports, two through onboard connectors. Connectivity comes in the form of dual Gigabit LAN ports on the high speed PCI-Express bus. The VIA EPIA-M800 can withstand a wide temperature range from 0-60°C. "


The VIA EPIA-N800 is the smaller Nano-ITX, with a 1.3GHz Nano processor. All models use the VIA VX800 media system processor.

"Aimed at compact digital display and signage applications the VIA EPIA-N800 offers VGA and a multi-configuration, 24-bit, dual channel LVDS transmitter, enabling display connection to embedded panels. As well as two onboard SATA connectors, expansion options include a Mini-PCI slot, with additional COM and USB ports and PS/2 support available through pin-headers. The DRAM slot has been relocated to the bottom side of the board for easy access and maintenance from system design perspective."
