Small Power Consumption and Small Size, but High Performance Makes Densitron's New DPX-114 Gaming Board A Winner
Santa Fe Sprigs, January 19, 2004: Using only 5 Watts of power while playing an MPEG4 video, the new DPX-114 embedded PC board from Densitron Technologies, provides significant savings in both power and thermal management for gaming machines.
Considering the power used and heat generated by banks of video slot machines in a casino environment, the DPX-114 with its energy efficient Transmeta Crusoe(TM) processor makes sound economic sense for any manufacturer designing new equipment, or any operator who is looking to reduce overheads. The small size, just 195x148mm (7.7 x5.8 inches), together with the low power and cooling requirements also makes the DPX-114 ideal for smaller gaming machines, kiosks, ticket machines, and table top or portable devices.
Providing exceptional value and ideally suited to AWP gaming equipment, the DPX-114 is launched as part of the new ConnectBus® II gaming platform from Densitron, the established pioneer in embedded PC technology for the gaming industry. ConnectBus® II is a platform that offers the gaming OEM a complete solution for building gaming devices.
Densitron offers a range of performance with the DPX-114 from 667MHz with no video for driving mechanical (reel) systems, right up to a 1GHz CPU coupled with ATI Technologies' powerful MOBILITY(TM) RADEON(TM) graphics. The ATI graphics system breaks new ground in embedded computing, and enables state of the art 3-D graphics with advanced capabilities such as dual independent displays, wide format displays, digital LCD and plasma screens.
Gaming devices require a high level of security and the DPX-114 offers on-board hardware for functions such as DES (data encryption standard) encryption/decryption, secure key storage and SHA (secure hash algorithm) acceleration to lock down the software to the hardware platform, combat software piracy and safeguard the game code against cheating. These functions are provided by the Transmeta Crusoe(TM) processor and the industry standard Trusted Platform Module.
With well over 10,000 worldwide installations, the Densitron range of ConnectBus® SBCs has already proven itself in the most demanding gaming applications and the new ConnectBus® II products, including the DPX1 14, offer an enhanced platform for the gaming OEM to build tomorrow's innovative and dynamic games!
