.. _overview: Product Overview ================ Based on the ultra compact Pico-ITX form factor, measuring 10 cm x 7.2 cm, the VIA VAB-1000 is powered by a 1.0GHz dual core VIA Elite E1000 Cortex- A9 SoC. The board features a high-performance graphics and video engine with a Unified Shader Architecture featuring 64 stream processors that provides support for dual independent displays along with the smoothest 3D/2D graphics acceleration and full HD playback support for the most demanding video formats in resolutions up to 1080p. The ultra compact VAB-1000 board is optimized for both performance and power to meet the high end demands of advanced industrial, in-vehicle and multimedia applications, boasting a ruggedized design with an extended operating temperature range from 0°C to 60°C, while offering extremely low power consumption. The VAB-1000 board has integrated dual-channel LVDS connector, mini PCIe slot and SATA connector, WLAN connector for WLAN USB module (WiFi), and an SPI connector. In addition, VAB-1000 provides an impressive selection of rear I/O in a compact form factor including HDMI® In and Out ports, Mini USB 2.0 port, Micro SD card slot and RJ-45 GigaLAN port. The VIA VAB-1000 board supports an optional I/O companion card VAB-1000-T. The optional I/O companion card is connected through onboard pin headers connectors carrying the I/O such as audio jacks, LED indicators, button switch, additional USB 2.0 ports, COM connector, DIO connector, etc. Key Features ------------ * Powered by VIA E1000 1.0GHz ARM Cortex-A9 Dual-Core processor * Supports integrated graphics processing (GPU) with Unified Shading * Architecture * Small form factor and low power design * Fanless and ultra low power consumption * Compatible with Android operating system * 4GB onboard eMMC Flash memory * Supports dual-channel 18/24-bit LVDS connector * Supports Mini PCIe expansion slot for 3.75G/3G module * Supports Micro SD Card slot for expandable storage up to 32GB size * Supports SATA connector for SATA SSD device * Supports WLAN (WiFi) connectivity connector for optional WLAN USB module.
