Mini-ITX Embedded Digital Video Board with Intel® Core(TM)2 Duo Processor
Irvine, California, July 31, 2007 - Advantech, the leading global ePlatform services provider, is launching its first embedded digital video motherboard in Mini-ITX form factor, DVMB-554E. DVMB-554E is powered by Intel® Core(TM) Duo/Core(TM)2 Duo processor with integrated video capture function. The Mini-ITX form factor and low power consumption of the Intel® Core(TM) Duo processor will help software companies design a very compact video surveillance solution.
DVMB-554E embedded digital video motherboard with integrated PCIe video capture provides the small footprint required for DVR solutions. The Intel® Core(TM) Duo processor offers cool thermal performance, while providing high-power computing. DVMB-554E is optimized for processor-intensive video analysis and object tracking applications. PCIe support delivers generous bandwidth, more than enough to pump four channels of integrated video capture at D1 resolution, up to 120/100 frame per second. A complete SDK with demonstration programs will allow software companies to customize its application for this new platform.
Software companies can take our hardware platform and add their software to provide advanced video functions like automated PTZ tracking, unattended operation and multi-camera associated tracking. The Mini-ITX form factor (170 x 170 mm) easily accommodates the unit into the limited spaces required by POS-DVR, ATM-DVR, video analysis boxes for IVS, or Hybrid DVR platforms. Compared to traditional PCs, DVMB-554 has specific functions like a low power processor, compact size, and on board video to benefit the system integrator for vertically oriented video applications.
In the near future, Advantech will release another 1U-basis digital video recorder, DVS-510, to accommodate the DVMB-554E. The DVS-510 server will provide a central storage location for video data captured by DVMB-554E. With these new product releases, Advantech continues to prove itself to be one of the most dedicated embedded digital video solution providers.

The DVMB-554E is a great concept but in practice we've given it the thumbs-down. Aside from no video output from the board (stopping our test in its tracks)there are a lot of minor issues. Things like poor board diagrams (jumper 5 isn't 3 pin), and supplying a full height card for video-in with a 'mini-ITX' board. Advantech's site is buggy - support requests seem to die in a blank page.
