Apollo Introduces New Single Board Computer for Controlling Large Area, High-Resolution LCDs



Ronkonkoma, NY, May 12, 2006 - Apollo Display Technologies - LCD distributor, product designer, value-add solutions specialist and systems integrator - has introduced an advanced new single board computer (SBC) called Galaxy that provides optimal control of large area, high-resolution TFT LCDs used in a wide range of applications. Applications include digital signage and POI/POS, gaming, medical and industrial displays.

Galaxy features an Intel ULV Celeron processor and combines a compact form factor (203 x 146 mm or approx. 8" x 5.75") with low power consumption and perfect compatibility with TFT LCD and CRT displays. Its fanless design minimizes power loss and heat buildup, while its ultra-low voltage, high-performance CPU provides optimal graphics performance for 2D and 3D applications.

Operating temperature range is 0º - 60º C. Operating systems supported by Galaxy include Microsoft Windows, Win CE, Linux, etc.

Galaxy is available in four versions developed from the basic design. The Best Performance version includes an Intel 815 chipset with integrated graphics memory for simple price-sensitive 2D applications. The two High Performance versions come with an integrated ATI graphics chip M6 with 650 MHz ULV Celeron processor or M7 with 400 MHz ULV Celeron. They are ideal for simple monitor applications to more complex 2D/3D applications.

The High-End Performance version includes an ATI graphics controller M9 with driver support for dual display mode with separate content per display, and supports portrait/landscape display modes. This version is designed for high-end 3D graphics applications.
