Fanless embedded MicroPC with dual LAN
Released 19 September 2008

The new EPC-4853 from BVM is the latest addition to the family of low power compact embedded PCs for use as thin clients or in less demanding embedded applications such as simple kiosks, POS terminals, machine control, entry level desktop machines and other general purpose uses where raw processing power is less important than low noise, long term reliability and low power requirements. 

The EPC-4853 is based on a VIA Esther 1.2GHz processor, it supports up to 1GB of system memory and will run the XP or Linux o/s.  Dual 10/100MHz LAN ports are provided, as are 2 x USB 2.0 ports, a Compact Flash slot and an EIDE interface; optional internal HDD or Mini PCI socket are also available.  The boot ROM supports PXE boot and wake-on-LAN remote boot.  The integrated VIA UniChrome 2D/3D graphics with integral MPEG4/WMV9 decode accelerator supports screens up to 1920 x1440 and the VIA Vinyl VT1708 integrated audio provides line out and mic in capability.

The compact unit measures 170 x 123 x 56mm and draws just 20 Watts from a single 5V PSU.
