Advoli Ltd, a company based in Hong Kong, but founded by two Norwegians, and with a technical facility in Taiwan, has released a new PCIe 16x graphics card, the TA6, that is based on an AMD Embedded Radeon E9550 Series GPU and with six outputs that support HDBaseT. The company is supplying engineering samples now, but will make full deliveries available around ISE in February. The card includes cable diagnostics, pass-through IR (in/out), full emulated controls – encoding/decoding of IR, RS232 and CEC signals through serial command interface and is intended for AV integrators.
The card is the first PCIe card to receive HDBaseT certification. It has a modular design and can use a variety of MXM modules. MXM is a modular system for GPUs developed by AMD – details can be downloaded here. The card follows the half length form factor and has dual fans so that one can be run at extra speed if the other fails.
The company says that the board can drive six ultraHD/4K displays in one desktop of 12K x 4K or as six independent desktops.
