VIA EPIA N10000 Nano-ITX Review
HDTV Output
The N10000 can support an impressive array of output resolutions thanks to VIA's VT1625 HDTV Encoder. Under Windows XP, we were able to select resolutions up to 2048 x 1536, with many many others in between. This is the first time an EPIA has supported a multitude of widescreen and standard HDTV resolution 1080i and 720p output formats, and bodes well for future EPIAs with this chip.
However the encoder is only as good as the input given to it, and VIA need to support the MPEG hardware of the CN400 to utilise these resolutions. If this happens, we could see the true capabilities of this board.
The TV side of the encoder supports a wide range of video standards, including NTSC-M (North America, Taiwan), NTSC-J (Japan), PAL-B, D, G, H, I (Europe, Asia), PAL-M (Brazil), PAL-N (Uruguay, Paraguay) and PAL-Nc (Argentina). The VIA VT1625 HDTV Encoder can simultaneously output composite video, S-Video, component, RGB signals with interlace/non-interlace scan mode, or output an analog progressive scan signal in YPbPr or RGB format.
6 Channel Audio
VIA's "Smart 5.1" allows the Mic, Line In and Line Out jacks on a motherboard be utilised as 6 channel surround sound audio outputs i.e. Front L/R, Rear L/R and Centre/Subwoofer. If you only have 2 channel audio content, you can enable "Magic 5.1" to simulate 6 channel audio (found in Windows in the volume control panel under rear speaker/advanced). If by contrast you have 6 channel audio content to playback, but only 2 speakers, you can use "DUALMAX" to down-mix the audio in hardware.
As with previous EPIAs, we found 6 channel audio easy to setup. Our amplifier accepts digital audio through an RCA phono input, and we were able to use this. This does however tie up the RCA output. Perhaps on future Nano-ITX boards VIA could provide an optical output as well.
