Just to be clear for everyone here, the sample you are talking about is the same CI520 as FernetMenta? RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - fritsch - 2014-08-29 Yes - CI520. RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - ezechiel1917 - 2014-08-29 I'm curious about that 14 fps. Is 4k HEVC hardware decoding not supported (optimized) by Intel Linux drivers or by CPU itself? RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - fritsch - 2014-08-29 No ... no one supports HEVC decoding on the GPU. RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - ezechiel1917 - 2014-08-30 ah ok, thanks. RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - fritsch - 2014-09-14 Here is a file that is (currently) the upper limitation for this box: http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_2160p_60fps_normal.mp4 quad full hd with 60 progressive frames - it limits at arround 52 fps with bilinear scaling :-) Not a real use case currently and 4K 30fps works fine: http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_2160p_30fps_normal.mp4 RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - owens2000 - 2014-09-19 I've been researching small, quiet HTPCs over the past week and it's a tricky business finding something that ticks all the boxes. - Small, reasonably attractive - Well thought out port layout - Quiet.. ideally fanless - IR receiver built in - Optical audio out - Ethernet - Be able to play my DVD / Blu-Ray ISO collection The zbox's looked ideal but have some drawbacks. - No direct Digital SPDIF out apart from the analog audio jack with a converter (My Amp doesn't accept HDMI audio passthru) - The audio jack is on the front by the IR receiver which wont be the most attractive cabling option under my TV The search goes on. RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - swaggerwocky - 2014-09-24 New CI520 firmware available Zotac Wrote:.64Mbit Flash size RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - fritsch - 2014-09-24 Curious how they "improved thermal stability" in a passive system :-) Most likely they disabled something. Let's see tonight. RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - swaggerwocky - 2014-09-24 Looking forward to your trip report. I'm waiting on my CI520 to be delivered tomorrow. RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - fritsch - 2014-09-24 For now I never had a single issue with my box - I am not sure I want to update the bios :-) - Never change a running system. RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - tiktok - 2014-10-08 I've just ordered a CI320, my first mini-itx to run xbmcubuntu or openelec. What remote do I need to buy to control this box ? EDIT: Am I correct I need a MCE remote such as this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-Microsoft-MCE-Media-Center-Remote-Control-for-Windows-7-Vista-XP-/281305555451?pt=US_Remote_Controls_Pointers&hash=item417f1e21fb Will this work if I am running linux ? thanks RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - fritsch - 2014-10-08 Yes - it will. But with all the limitations the Baytrail's GPU has, which are: - low quality scaling only - not performant enough to deinterlacing 1080i50 in high quality. RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - tiktok - 2014-10-08 Would the CA320 be a better choice ? I can change if I am quick ! RE: Zotac CI320-520-540 Fanless - fritsch - 2014-10-08 If you don't need: - 4K decoding All AMD GPUs are limited to 2048 x1152 |
