Main Features

4 HP extension for 3U Intel® SBCs F14, F15, F17, F18, F19P, F21P
1 IEEE 1394 interface
1 DVI-D Single Link
1 HD Audio (in or out)
1 or 2 RS232
2.5" SATA hard-disk slot

Description Open

The F604 is a 4HP FireWire and multimedia extension card for 3U Intel® based CompactPCI® single-board computers. It can be used in combination with the F14 and further boards of the Intel® low power family. The IEEE 1394 high-speed serial bus is often used in combination with modern high-end digital camera equipment instead of USB. Thus, the F604 side-card extends the standard features of a powerful multi-core or Pentium® M CPU board by one 400 MBit/s FireWire interface connected via PCI Express® links. It further provides a DVI-D single link port, an HD audio - in or out - port as well as one, optionally two COM interfaces.
