The long-term available Embedded Box PC Kontron CB 753 Dual Head has been conceived especially for applications in which the integrated graphics performance of low-power embedded chipsets does not suffice for controlling several high resolution displays. To serve this purpose, Kontron has integrated a powerful graphics accelerator with a chipset from Matrox or NVIDIA as well as a specifically tailored cooling solution which is an ideal match. Compared to system designs with a fan, the completely sealed and fanless Kontron CB 753 Dual Head provides a smaller footprint while offering an enhanced and maintenance-free operation. This makes an application-ready integrated multi-display solution available to OEM customers which has already been tested and certified for reliable continuous operation in the temperature range from 0 to +50 °C. This saves time otherwise used for purchasing separate components, their integration and testing and enables OEMs to concentrate on their core competence of application development and to reduce their time-to-market.
Like all Kontron Embedded Box PCs in the CB family, the Kontron CB 753 Dual Head stands out in terms of high-reliability and long-term availability. The MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of the CE-certified and UL-qualified Embedded Box PC is 40,000 hours. It also facilitates simple integration in a wide spectrum of OEM applications. For flexible integration in diverse application areas, Kontron offers vertical and horizontal mounting and rackmounting options.
