Advanced Graphics Platform
Advantech ARK-DS350 is an advanced digital signage platform powered by AMD-780, with an ATI Radeon™ HD 3200 graphics chipset. The discrete graphic chipset offers video acceleration via the unified hardware video decoder for H.264, VC-1, and MPEG 2, thus offering smooth full HD video playback and crisp image transitions—a perfect platform for digital signage applications where vivid multimedia playback is the key to delivering high visual impact content.
Discrete Graphic Chipset for Optimal Performance
ARK-DS350 is available in two computing performance levels: embedded AMD Athlon™ X2 dual-core processor version, or the low power AMD Athlon single-core processor version. This solution enables a single product design be able to support a wide range of performance and power points. ARK-DS350 delivers superior performance for 1080p HD output and can support dual channel video via HDMI and VGA. Furthermore, ARK-350 is a relatively compact design, low profile and light weight, able to be easily installed behind any large size LCD display. Though this is a fan-based model, it leverages smart fan technology so that the fan runs quiet.
