Modular PCs are on the verge of revolutionizing the Pro AV industry, offering businesses a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solution for their display needs. This potential was showcased by Giada at the Intel Intelligent Display Tech Workshop, held in Penang, Malaysia, from December 4-5, where the company had the honor of being invited by Intel Corporation to demonstrate its cutting-edge modular PC solutions.

As a reference designer for Intel’s SDM-L (Smart Display Module-L), Giada presented its SDM-L613 module, which is powered by Intel's Raptor Lake Core i3/i5/i7 processors. This state-of-the-art module is designed to meet the growing demands of the Pro AV market, offering key features such as:

8K resolution support for ultra-high-definition visuals

The module features the Intel® integrated Iris® Xe GPU (Core i5/i7) and supports a maximum 8K resolution via the HDMI 2.1 video output port. The SDM (PCIe X8) connector delivers a range of connectivity options, including HDMI 2.0 (4096 x 2304 @ 60Hz), DP 1.2 (4096 x 2304 @ 60Hz), USB 3.2 Gen 1, UART, GSPI, I2C, PCIe, and SYS_FAN signals.

vPro technology for enhanced data security and remote management

The Intel® Hardware Shield provides integrated, hardware-based protection for PCs, offering below-the-OS security, application and data protection, as well as advanced threat detection capabilities.
