Giada Broadwell Core i5 powered Thin Mini ITX Motherboard

iada USA, a provider of Micro Servers, Mini-PCs, and embedded motherboards, announces the MG-5200SL Thin M-ini ITX motherboard for digital signage, powered with the latest 14nm sized Broadwell processors. 

The MG-5200SL boasts a powerful Core i5 CPU with 3MB Cache and speeds up to 2.7GHz for better performance and lower power consumption. A dedicated Nvidia GT730 GPUenables powerful graphics performance, supporting 4K Ultra HD resolution and multiple displays. With rich connectivity and JAHC technology for unmanned operation, the MG-5200SL is ready for the most demanding digital signage applications.

Rather than relying on integrated graphics solutions, the MG-5200SL uses a dedicated Geforce GT730 GPU with 384 CUDA cores for 4K Ultra HD and multi-display capability. 2GB of DDR3 dedicated VRAM ensures memory-complex signage displays run smoothly even when the CPU is busy with data processing. Based on the Intel Thin Mini-ITX standard for All-In-One(AIO) PCs, the MG-5200SL fits the same 6.7"x6.7" footprint as a standard Mini-ITX motherboard yet measures just 0.95"(24mm) tall. This slim form factor allows the MG-5200SL motherboard to not only fit into standard Mini-ITX chassis but also Thin Mini-ITX chassis for a very slim profile. Meeting Intel's AIO standard the MG-5200SL can also be used to power all-in-one PCs with high resolution displays.

Despite its compact size, the MG-5200SL offers rich expansion and connectivity including 16GB max memory capacity with two DDR3 SODIMM slots, two SATA III ports, and two full-height mPCIe slots - one of which accepting mSATA SSDs. Graphics are supported through onboard LVDS and external HDMI, DVI and VGA ports. I/O connectivity includes two COM serial ports onboard for communication and control, four external USB ports with four more available on the motherboard, Gigabit ethernet, and audio input/output.

JAHC Technology for Unmanned Operation
JAHC Technology improves unmanned operation with features like scheduled boots and shut downs, auto-reboot on crash, and the ability to self-boot after a power loss has occurred. The MG-5200SL allows more reliable, unattended digital signage displays.
