mATX A1 - video out?

Howdy all...

Does the mATX A1 have an SVGA out port?  IhopeIhopeIhopeIhope!

IIRC, it has a normal VGA output as well as a composite out.

[NightShade737]

Yeah it does (onboard video = VGA out).

There are 2 current models of A1 (Teron):

1.. A1 (Teron) ATX form factor.

2.. A1 mini (Teron mini) mini-ITX form factor. This features onboard graphics chip (ATI) and audio chip (CMI).

The Pegasos2 is mATX :-D

I'd love to see more mini-ITX PowerPC systems!  :-D

Thanks Amipal and NightShade.  Much appreciated...

Hi
On TechTV, there is a report about automotive expo. There are several on-car entertainment devices with LCD display.
I hope Eyetech will put LCD interface on microA1.
On most cars, the power supply is limited to +12V.
I hope Eyetech can create a single voltage version.
Beside automotive, single voltage microA1 can be used on ship, airplane and robotic applications.

Most LCDs have VGA (D-Sub 9 pin) cables as well as DVI inputs, infact VGA inputs are more common on them (although they are trying to stick with DVI.

Does the mATX A1 have an SVGA out port?

Note that SVGA 'usually' refers to the screen mode standard/capability not the physical video out socket.  An ATI Radeon 7000 chipset can drive SVGA screen resolutions via the VGA socket.    

Ever since 90s era ATI Rage/Mach** chipsets (the precursor to Radeon family); they can drive and display SVGA resolutions.

**e.g. ATI Mach 64

Right, well, nobody picked such nits and I got prompt replies, so thanks anyhow!

That's LCD monitors, but for embedded LCD panels you'd want the ability to directly connect to LVDS.

Are you sure you didn't mean S-Video? I.e. to connect TVs, VCRs et c.

I mean, since the Teron Mini has onboard ATI graphics, then obviously it's got at least a common VGA connector.

No, sorry, I don't know if it's got S-Video.

[B00tDisk]

No, I meant does it have a connector that will hook up to an SVGA capable monitor.  Someone had mentioned to me that the board had everything except VGA out, which I thought was patently ludicrous but since the various pictures I saw didn't clearly show the d-sub connector, I wasn't sure if it was a 9-pin serial port or VGA port.
