Chapter1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
BIS-6540HD, a high performance full HD 1080p blu-ray capable Intel N270 Atom
processor based platform. It based on NORCO's signature fanless enclosure-ICE FIN, with
high efficient heatpipe design. It has a built-in ultra low power HD AVC/VC-1/MPEG-2 hardware
decoder, capable of full HD real-time decoding of H.264, VC-1 media contents at up to 40Mbps.
The BIS-6540HD is capable to playback full HD 1080p blu-ray content and uses less than 30%
of the 2.5W Atom N270 CPU. That is over eight times more efficient in term of CPU usage
when playing back the same contents of using an Intel T7300 Core 2 Duo processor. The
power consumption of the complete loaded system when playing blu-ray less than 20W. Using
this compact and easy-to-use network device, the users can control, manage and program the
transmission of the multi-media contents through Ethernet.In the applications that can’t provide
wired connection of ethernet
1.2 Features
