"By combining the nForce2 Platform Processor's integrated features, such as dual networking controllers; advanced audio; support for up both USB 2.0 and FireWire® connectivity; and industry-leading graphics, into Shuttle's ground-breaking, small form-factor PCs, NVIDIA can transition its technologies into new and emerging markets and platforms." To transform everyday PCs into truly digital media gateways, Shuttle is currently developing a series of small form factor PCs-capable of powering homes, offices, and home-theater environments-using NVIDIA's nForce2 series of integrated Platform Processors as the technological foundation. NVIDIA nForce2 Platform Processors offer a staggering array of features including: -- Built-in dual networking controllers, including a 3Com Ethernet MAC for simultaneous wide-area network (WAN) and local-area network (LAN) environments -- Up to six high-speed USB 2.0 ports to connect the latest digital peripherals -- Up to three Firewire (IEEE1394a) ports for connecting consumer electronics devices, including digital video cameras -- Dolby(R) Digital 5.1 real-time-encoded surround sound with S/PDIF-out audio for home theater audio -- Video Processing Engine for MPEG2 and DVD playback -- TV-encoder and HDTV processor for optimal visual quality -- Support for multiple displays, including flat panels, TVs and CRTs -- Fastest integrated graphics performance based on NVIDIA's GeForce(TM)4 MX Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) "The nForce2 Platform Processors are well positioned to solidify NVIDIA's grip on digital entertainment," said Cameron Rogers, Marketing Executive at Shuttle Computer Group. "The nForce2's incredible level of integration paired with our expertise in innovative, small-form factor PCs, allows us to design and develop PC-based devices that are small, attractive, silent, feature-rich, and amply suited for home offices, living rooms, home entertainment systems and other non-traditional PC platforms." Live demonstrations of Shuttle's new diminutive PCs using NVIDIA's nForce2 Platform Processors will take place in the NVIDIA booth (#4) during regular show hours at the Platform Conference, being held today and tomorrow at the Silicon Valley Conference Center in San Jose, CA.
