1.1 Introduction
AAEON introduces the newest product in the Boxer series,
AEC-6523, which utilizes the Intel®Atom™ N2600 processor: this
embedded controller expands its graphics performance greatly with
the newest generation of Atom™ processors.
In this era of information explosion, the advertising of consumer
products will not be confined to the family television, but will also
spread to high-traffic public areas, like department stores, the bus,
transportation station, the supermarket etc. The advertising
marketing industry will resort to every conceivable mean to transmit
product information to consumers. System integrators will need a
multifunction device to satisfy commercial needs for such public
advertising.
The AEC-6523 is a standalone high performance controller
designed for long-life operation and with high reliability. It can
replace traditional methods and become the mainstream controller
for the multimedia entertainment market.
