Overview
The EPM-VID-3 is a PC/104-Plus video expansion module for PC/104-Plus, EPIC, and EBX
systems. It provides video output to flat panel, CRT, and composite video displays. It can be
used as a primary or secondary video output device or as a temporary video device during
system development and testing.
The standard module provides connectors for LVDS, CRT and TV outputs. Custom versions
are available with TTL flat panel outputs. Up to three simultaneous outputs are available, with
driver support for two independent displays. CRT and TV outputs are automatically detected
and configured through the video driver.
Reprogrammable Video BIOS
This PC/104-Plus module can be used to expand any PC/104-Plus compatible system.
Additional PC/104-Plus or PC/104 modules can be stacked above the EPM-VID-3 module.

Details
The foundation of the EPM-VID-3 is the ATi Rage Mobility M1 graphic accelerator coupled with
8 MB of video RAM, which supports 18-bit and 24-bit color (16.7 million displayable colors) and
CRT resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. LVDS and optional TTL output supports resolutions up
to 1280 x 1024). Triview™ video output allow up to three simultaneous displays. Dual display
combinations (supported under Windows only) include LVDS/CRT or LVDS/TV.
The EPM-VID-3 features a customizable video BIOS including jumper-selectable flat panel
modes. It is pre-programmed for simplified LVDS flat panel setup, and can be customized for
other (TTL) panel types.
This module is compatible with most Windows operating systems, Linux, QNX Neutrino, and
Wind River VxWorks. Video drivers for this board are available for most Windows and Linux
operating systems. Other OS platforms may require development of custom drivers to support
advanced display capabilities.
The EPM-VID-3 is compatible with PC/104-Plus systems, including most VersaLogic single
board computers.
