[QUOTE="ichessblumen, post: 682443, member: 45047"] [b]Test mini-itx Jetway NC98-525E-LF/DVB S2 Stick pctvsystems[/b] Hello@all, just want to show you an interesting mini-itx board. I bought a Jetway NC98-525E-LF which has a [B]Atom 2x1,8 GHz and a Nvidia GT218 onboard gfx[/B]. All the specs can be found [B][URL="http://www.jetway.com.tw/jw/ipcboard_view.asp?productid=750&proname=NC98-510-LF%20/%20NC98-525-LF"]here[/URL][/B] It has an integrated PSU onboard. All you need is a 12V/60W (or higher) AC-DC power supply. I bought one on amazon for 20 Euro. Installation: - Win 7 32bit home premium - SAF 4 codecs - Mediaportal 1.1.1. - passkey from DVDfab - Plugin: Bluray Handler Other Hardware: -DVB-S2 Stick from pctvsystems (formerly known as pinnacle). I installed merely the driver from the supplied CD. full specs [B][URL="http://www.pctvsystems.com/Products/ProductsEuropeAsia/Satelliteproducts/PCTVDVBS2Stick/tabid/236/language/en-GB/Default.aspx"]here[/URL][/B] - 37" TV LG something @1920x1080 @50Hz respectively @24Hz when playing BR or 1080p video - 4GB of DDR2 800 RAM - 250GB 2.5" HDD [B][U]Test:[/U][/B] Bluray: no problem at all. Smooth playback. CPU load around 12-25%. Avg. 20%. [B]Playback:[/B] - 1080p mkv's: no stuttering, fine, smooth playback. - 1080p wmv's: no stuttering, fine, smooth playback. [B]TV:[/B] - PAL (576i): easy, all well - HDTV 720p: easy, no probs - HDTV 1080i: easy, some dropped frames after channel switch, but then stable * and here the little asterisk: The onboard GPU does not Temporal Spatial interlacing ( equivalent to ATI's Vector Adaptive Deinterlacing). It does Motion Adaptive Interlacing which is better than BoB or Weave. So, from a 2 meters distance (or for all the guys are not in the metric world : around 6 1/2 feet) you will not recognize the very small lines. And that happens only in fast scenes like sports. I bet you will not sit 50cm away from your 4o" TV, do you? Another pro argument: The NVidia drivers seems to be better in not producing artifacts from time to time like the ATI driver does. [B]Summary:[/B] Pro: - no dc/dc adapter needed - silent, passive cooling - maximum power consumption of 45W (@1080i HDTV) - GPU acceleration for playback and HDTV - mini pcie-slot ( e.g. for DuoFlex S2 miniPCIe TV card of digital devices) - good as tv server (around 30W) Con: - AC/DC supply has to be bought separately - it's not cheap (around 180€) - on 1080i HDTV only motion adaptive interlacing when intended to use as TV client. At the end find some pictuers of the board, the tv stick and a screenshot from 1080i HDTV. Cheers ieb [/QUOTE]
