General
The AV-GM0AK3-S1 Dual-View Digital Signage Processor with Audio Path is an advanced
video processor with PC mother board built-in for digital signage applications. It is an ideal
solution for applications where two video signals must be displayed on a single display, one
from PC and the other from outside video source. It supports up to four video inputs, of which
two can be outputted simultaneously in Picture-In-Picture (PIP) or Picture-Aside-Picture (PAP)
modes. The AV-GM0AK3-S1 allows you to manipulate output images, wherever position and
whatever sizes you want for viewing two computers or two video signals or a combination. With
MB support, users can upload popular OS such as Win7 or Linux to get a link to unlimited
software and the instant Ethernet and USB support make AV-GM0AK3-S1 access all the possible
media content to enhance the presentation diversity.
The embedded scaler converts signals from input sources to match the native resolution of
monitors, flat panel displays, projectors as well as user-selectable output settings up to WUXGA
(1920x1200). Dual outputs are provided in both analog (YPbPr) and digital (HDMI/DVI) format,
one is connected to remote display and the other is connected to on-site display for real time
monitoring or displaying.

Inputs and Outputs
The AV-GM0AK3-S1 has four inputs and accepts both graphics and video signals, which come
from computers and NTSC/PAL video sources respectively. There is a concept of main channel
and sub channel for this device. You can pick up two of the four inputs, one is for main channel
and the other is for sub channel, and then display two of them simultaneously on the same
screen. Figure 2 shows the rear panel connectors of a AV-GM0AK3-S1 and Table 1 illustrates how
you can connect video devices and display to the AV-GM0AK3-S1.
