TVC4406 Video Wall Controller Supports Up To 16 Screens

Trenton's TVC4406 is our latest 4U, Matrox Mura MPX-enabled video wall controller. This integrated hardware system is currently validated with up to (4) Matrox Mura MPX boards, delivering up to (16) 1080p high-definition inputs across (16) 1080p high-definition outputs. The Trenton TVC4406 leverages each Mura's 64 Gbit/sec duplex data transfer rate to ensure flawless HD input captures for diverse display wall requirements. The TVC4406 is an ideal control solution for high-end video capture and display walls common in military command & control posts, facility security & surveillance centers and manufacturing process control rooms.

Advantages of the TVC4406 validated video wall controller:

Validated with up to (4) Matrox Mura MPX fanless boards
Delivers up to (16) 1080p high-definition inputs and (16) 1080p high-definition outputs
HDCP compliant boards capture and display copy-protected content from digital cable or satellite set-top boxes, video streamers and Blu-ray Disc™ players
Validated Matrox Mura MPX integrated solutions simplify video display wall installations and technical support
Fanless Matrox Mura MPX board-design reduces system noise and increases reliability

A Technical Guide to Maximizing Compute Density in Rugged Military Computers

In this new Trenton Systems whitepaper, various military computing application considerations are discussed, with topics ranging from how best to utilize the latest Intel® processor technology while meeting unique system chassis requirements, to how to accomplish all the necessary computing tasks given the component mounting space limitations of airborne and mobile ground vehicles.

Maximizing system compute density has become an important factor in reducing overall program costs while increasing the operating efficiency of rugged military systems. This paper is focused on how single board computers and multi-core processors, multi-segment backplanes, and key technologies such as CPU core virtualization, Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions, Intel® Hyper-Threading of message instructions, and direct memory connections deliver the performance now required by demanding military applications while simultaneously addressing critical SWaP issues.

Check out this new Trenton Systems whitepaper and give us a call at +1 770.287.3100 or toll-free in the U.S. at 800.875.6031 to discuss how our system engineers can maximize compute density while reducing component mounting space and hardware cost in your unique application.

BXT7059 Dual-Processor SBC Documentation Update -- Memory Population Rules

The memory population rules for a single board computer can be confusing at times. An SBC that is capable of supporting multiple processor versions, like the BXT7059, adds an extra level of complexity because oftentimes different processors will appear to have different memory DIMM requirements. Now that the Trenton Systems BXT7059 single board computer has been in the field for about six months, customers have been reporting outstanding system performance.

With many successful applications under our collective belts we found that our documentation could be improved in the area of memory population rules. To that end a new memory population chart and several wording changes were made to the memory section of the BXT7059 / BXTS7059 Jumpers, Connectors and Memory document to bring an added level of clarity to the proper memory population rules for the SBC. Corresponding changes were also made to the BXT's Before You Begin document and the BXT7059 / BXTS7059 Hardware Manual. Revision F is the latest version of the BXT/BXTS hardware manual and all of these updated documents are available under the DOWNLOADS tab of either the BXT7059 or BXTS7059 product detail web pages.
