General Information
1.1. Introduction
AU95C is a digital signage player meant for service industry to deliver
AU95C is ideal for the PIS (Passenger Information System) for the mass
transportation services such as train stations and airports. It also brings the
brain for the kiosks in hotels and movie theatres. It is capable of the rich multi-
media contents needed for the advertisement screens in the leisure places
such as shopping malls and complexes. The computer is all about hospitality
enhancement and customers touting for your business.
1.2. Product Highlights
All-In-One Platform
The CPU, DRAM and even software are integrated to provide a plug-and-
play machine.
Compact-sized
Fanless Design
By using a low power processor, the system does not have to rely on fans,
which are unreliable and often cause dust to circulate inside the equipment.
Modular CPU Board
The modularized CPU board facilitates the possible maintenance or
upgrades to system. Systems based on a modular CPU board can be easily
The boards are based on a non-standard form factor to make the
computer compact enough and consume only a little space.

General Information
Powerful Networking
The AU95C provides multiple COM ports, two Ethernet ports and six
USB ports for data communication.
Numerous Display/Video Output
Integrated with an Intel®HD Graphics core, AU95C improves graphics
and 3D rendering performance and supports the display/video output
including DVI-I and HDMI.
Advanced Storage
AU95C comes with an eSATA port for fast data transfer speeds for
external storage device and a CFast-card slot for better, faster and cost-
effective expansibility for more applications.
Trustworthy
The onboard Watchdog Timer can invoke an NMI or system reset when your
application misbehaves within the system.
