MPC-10W5 computer
Avalue Technology has unveiled a digital signage computer for small-panel installations that can be mounted on walls or integrated in in-store sign boards or inside public transport display systems.
The MPC-10W5 is powered by an Intel Atom D510 dual-core processor, which consumes low power and brings both memory controllers and graphics cores on a central processing unit (CPU), facilitating a low-profile panel computer design.
The computer is equipped with 10.2in (26cm) 17:10 wide panel, supporting high 1,024 x 600 resolution.
The light-emitting-diode (LED) backlight panel gives luminance of 250cd/m and a contrast ratio of 500, compatible with a five-wire resistive touch screen to suit versatile applications and upgradable to an interactive multimedia service terminal.
In addition, the MPC-10W5 can be integrated with a low-refraction bounding panel to qualify sunlight readability.
On the top front panel, a built LED indicator displays alarm signals for specific conditions.
This area can also be replaced by a webcam module as an option.
On the down side front cover, there is a plastic bar behind which a spared space (measuring 27 x 130 x 13mm) is ready for the placement of USB dongle devices, such as Wi-Fi, GPRS, GPS and BD.
Additional peripherals such as a PIR, CIR, light-sensor or radio-frequency identification R/W module is also achievable without any mechanical modification.
The MPC-10W5 has a minimal screen frame bezel.
The full aluminium housing design weighs only 1.22kg; the maximum thickness is 44.4mm.
The MPC-10W5 uses Vesa-standard 75 x 75 hook wall accessories.
