July 15, 2015, Brea, California – Giada Technology, a provider of MicroServers, Mini-PCs and embedded motherboards, announces the i58B, a new Intel Broadwell-based slim Mini-PC designed for digital signage applications. The i58B provides 4K video capability and powerful Intel HD Graphics 5500 in a book-sized ultra slim 1” thick form factor. Low power usage, server-grade cooling and “power off” hardware management make the i58B an ideal digital signage computer.
4K Video for Wall-Sized Displays
The i58B’s powerful Intel HD Graphics 5500 gives the ability to drive high resolution wall-sized displays at high resolution with support for 4K Ultra HD video using HDMI. The i58B is capable of High-definition video output at 720p, 1080p, and 2160p and multi-channel digital audio. An additional DisplayPort 1.2 connection supports up to 3200x2000 PC resolution, stereoscopic 3D graphics, and all HDTV formats as well as daisy chaining of multiple monitors and features a maximum total throughput of up to 21.6Gbps.
High Performance & Low Power Usage Broadwell CPU
i58B’s Broadwell the Dual Core, 4 thread i5-5200u 2.2GHz CPU has up to 2.7GHz turbo frequency and runs at a low power usage of just 15 TDP. Along with server grade cooling fans and a heat-dissipating metal chassis, the i58B merges processing power and graphics performance with long term reliability. At 7.5 by 5.9 inches and just 1 inch thick(190mmx149mmx26mm), with the optional VESA mount, the i58B can fit easily onto the back of the display or onto the wall.
Lights-Off Active Hardware Management
