The CORE 3 is perfect for use as a digital signage player in environments where there is not much space available. The housing with dimensions of only 36mm x 147mm x 165mm (H x W x D) houses a powerful Intel® Core® i3-N305 processor with 8 efficiency cores with a maximum of 3.8 GHz. This is supported by up to 32GB DDR5 RAM and an up to 2 TB M.2 NVMe SSD, as well as the integrated Intel® UHD graphics unit. Thanks to the 2 DisplayPort 1.4a ports (optionally an additional one via USB C), content can be displayed in a resolution of 4K @ 60 Hz on three displays at once.
Optional COM port, 2x LAN and extended temperature range
But the new system can not only be used in the DS area. Our CORE 3 also feels right at home in industrial environments, such as in industrial control applications. In addition to the extended temperature range from 0°C to +60°C, this is also ensured by two LAN ports (1x 2.5 Gbps) and a COM RS232/422/485 port.
Thin client and a total of 6x USB
The super compact Mini-PC offers various connections for different applications. In addition to two audio ports (1x MIC-IN and 1x LINE-OUT) and a USB 3.2 Gen1 on the front panel of the CORE 3, there are four additional USB ports on the back (2x 3.2 Gen2, 2x 3.2 Gen1). As usual with spo-comm PCs, the CORE 3 can also be optionally equipped with Windows 11 Professional, Windows 10 IoT and Ubuntu. There is also the option for WiFi. For this reason, the CORE can also be used as a thin client.
The CORE 3 is not only suitable for classic use as a digital signage player, but thanks to its numerous connections such as LAN and COM it is also perfect for industry or as a thin client. The powerful Intel® Core® i3-N305 CPU paired with DisplayPorts and extremely small dimensions equips the CORE 3 for a wide range of applications. The Mini PC is available now and can be configured and ordered according to your wishes at www.spo-comm.de/en.
