New TRITON module plays video on Windows CE

New TRITON TX37 based on Freescale i.MX37

Our latest Freescale based module uses the i.MX37 microcontroller based on an ARM11 core, and optimised for media player applications

The TRITON-TX37 system-on-module is a 200-pin SODIMM format PCB measuring just 26mm x 68mm (1.02" x 2.68") which, in addition to the i.MX37, includes 128MB mobile DDR SDRAM, 128MB NAND Flash, and supporting peripherals including power management and Ethernet controller. Supplied with a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 Board Support Package and StarterKit-5 development baseboard, the TRITON-TX37 is ready to be designed into low and medium volume applications, or to provide a prototype platform for consumer implementations.

Thanks to the Freescale i.MX37 device, which is based on an ARM1176JZF-S core running at up to 532MHz, and includes a dedicated multimedia decoder, and high-spec display controller, the TRITON TX37 is capable of supporting displays up to XGA resolution (1024 x 768). Media playback from MPEG-4, MPEG-2, H263 or H264 is supported at resolutions up to 720 x 572 with Directshow support.

Connectors for the wide range of 1.8v interfaces are provided in development via the StarterKit-5 baseboard, including Keypad, SDIO, SSI/AC97/I2S, I2C, LCD interface, UART, 10/100Mbps Ethernet, USB 2.0 Host and OTG. The TRITON-TX37 module operates from a single 3.0 to 5.5v supply.

It is anticipated that customers wishing to create an i.MX37-powered consumer product will use the module for prototyping and first production while using our Windows CE expertise to assist in integration.

TRITON-TX37 modules are available worldwide from Direct Insight, shipping in early Q2, 2009.
