COM Express Module

  • COM Express Module

Adlink Technology's latest computer on module (COM), the Express-MV, is based on Intel's Core2 Duo processor and GS45 chipset with graphics media accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD.

It is ideally suited for power sensitive applications requiring powerful graphics performance.

The Express-MV is a COM Express Type 2 module supporting the Intel Core2 Duo and Celeron M processors. Based on the Intel GS45 Express Graphic Controller Hub SFF and the Intel I/O Controller Hub ICH9M-SFF, the Express-MV is specifically designed for high end data and media processing applications.

It is available with a clock speed of up to 2.26GHz. Combined with up to 8GB of DDR3 dual channel memory at 800/1067MHz, Adlinks claims the Express-MV provides higher data transfer speed at 30% less power consumption compared with DDR2 memory.

The Express-MV is designed for embedded applications with high demands on data processing and high end graphics performance. Its target application areas are medical diagnostic equipment and medical imaging, digital signage, infotainment, industrial automation, gaming and video preprocessing.

The Express-MV integrates the Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD, which supports Microsoft Direct X10, Shader Model 4.0 and OpenGL 2.0. The Intel GMA 4500MHD is said to provide high level features such as hardware decoding for MPEG2 and Intel Clear Video Technology. The Express-MV also supports Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0 (Intel DVMT 5.0).
