Introduction

LVDS

The Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interface allows the Intel Graphics

Media Adapter to communicate directly to the flat-panel display. The LVDS inter-

face supports pixel color depths of 18 bits.

HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video connector

interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams. It delivers multi-channel

audio and uncompressed digital video signals for full HD 1080p visuals through a

single cable. Connect a LCD monitor or digital TV that has the HDMI port.

PCI Express

PCI Express is a high bandwidth I/O infrastructure that possesses the ability to

scale speeds by forming multiple lanes. The x1 PCI Express lane supports trans-

fer rate of 2.5 Gigabytes (250MBbps) per second which is nearly 4 times faster

than the traditional PCI.

Audio

The Realtek ALC262 audio codec provides 2-channel High Definition audio output.

S/PDIF

S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital audio sig-

nals to a device without having to be converted first to an analog format. This

prevents the quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted

to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT

machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system board

sends surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to amplifiers and speakers

and to digital recording devices like CD recorders.

Serial ATA

Serial ATA is a storage interface that is compliant with SATA 1.0a specification.

With speed of up to 3GB/s, it improves hard drive performance faster than the

standard parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s.

Gigabit LAN

The Realtek RTL8111DL PCI Express Gigabit controllers support up to 1Gbps data

transmission.

USB

The system board supports USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. USB 1.1 supports 12Mb/

second bandwidth while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a

marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your computer and a

wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug and Play peripherals.
