VIA keeps updating its range of embedded motherboards and recently has unveiled a new mini-ITX solution that is built around the company’s processors and was designed to be used for POS and kiosk applications.
Dubbed the VIA VB7009, the motherboard can be equipped with a wide selection of VIA CPUs ranging from a fanless 1.0GHz VIA C7 chip to more powerful options such as the 1.6GHz VIA C7-D or 1.2GHz dual core VIA Nano X2 processor.
No matter the CPU that one goes for, the chipset used for the board is the same VX900H media system hub that also includes an integrated GPU with hardware acceleration for various HD video formats, including MPEG-2, H.264, VC-1, WMV9 and HDCP for Blu-ray content.
The VB7009 mainboard also sports support for up to 4GB of system memory via a single full-size DIMM socket and also packs a pair of SATA 3Gps port.
Throughout the board PCB, VIA has also placed various other headers for a dual-channel 24-bit LVDS interface, four USB 2.0 ports, a 5-wire resistive touch sensor, and an 8-bit digital I/O.
The rest of the required ports and connectors are spread around the sides of the VB7009 and these include a VGA video output, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, dual COM ports, and other two USB 2.0 ports.
“The range of customer needs for interactive embedded devices is rapidly expanding,” said Epan Wu Head of the VIA Embedded Platform Division, VIA Technologies, Inc.
"The VIA VB7009 provides a flexible and cost effective solution that can be configured to satisfy a broad range of customer requirements,” concluded the company’s rep.
VIA hasn't revealed any information regarding the release or the pricing of the VB7009 motherboard, but this is expected to be sold only to system integrators and OEMs.
