Small question about the FitPC 2i

[Nicole]

Good day,

I have a question.
I would like to buy the FitPC2i.

Is it possible to play with the PC Full HD video in Windows?
Divx, avi and co go anyway right?

I want to FitPC2i with 2 GB of RAM.
The PC should stand as a multimedia player in my living room.
This must, however, he can play full HD videos!

Excuse my English is not so good.
I hope you can help me anyway.

Thanks in advance

Thank you for your reply.

You want to say that the PC with no problems Full HD can play video?
I have not found a video on the Internet where a play on PC2 Fit a Full HD video!

Voxe can you tell me maybe make a video?
A short video goes no problem.

What about the temperature?
How hot is the device?
And nothing makes the hard drive?
Do you have the Fit PC 2i with 2 GB Ram and 1.6 Ghz?

Thanks in advance

It can play fullhd 1080p videos using video acceleration.

Is it possible to play with the PC Full HD video in Windows?

Windows 7 is currently the best supported OS for the fitpc2, you wont have any trouble getting hd-videos to work. IMHO are the needed drivers downloaded via Windows Update automatically. Windows XP works somewhat, too. However, you need to order the Windows XP Version of fitPC2, because they include special decoders not available to the public. Don't know about Windows Vista.

Divx, avi and co go anyway right?

You are mixing container formats and video stream formats. The video acceleration in fitPC2's GMA500 supports mpeg2, vc-1, mpeg4/h264 and wmv9 video material if I remember intels specs corretly. Quoting the fitpc2 website: "Full hardware video acceleration of H.264, MPEG2, VC1, and WMV9" Formats not supported by the video acceleration can be decoded too. Most sd videos will just work, however I haven't tried all of those container formats and video codecs out there...

I have not found a video on the Internet where a play on PC2 Fit a Full HD video!

I don't get the point on providing a low-res video of a pc playing fullhd content, but there are some samples out there.

What about the temperature?

It runs really hot. This wont damage the hardware, but you should make sure the unit is placed correctly and not burried deep down a media rack

How hot is the device?

On the shell you can touch it with your hands without problems. However, you don't want to have it touched by small childs.

And nothing makes the hard drive?

I don't get it. Please rephrase your sentence. The included HDD should be fine. If you are planning to use a custom HDD, that's fine too. There is a maintenance opening you can use without voiding warranty. However, you should check space, power consumption and thermal qualities of your HDD.

Do you have the Fit PC 2i with 2 GB Ram and 1.6 Ghz?

I have the original fitPC2 with just 1GB RAM and 1.6GHz, so the 2GB unit will do even better.

Thanks for the quick response.

Is it possible to fit PC2i connect to an AV receiver?
So the sound of music will reflect on 5.1?

Is that possible?
Or how can I play the sound the best?
Over HDMI it will not do so.

Is that right so far?

Sorry for my bad English.

Is it possible to fit PC2i connect to an AV receiver?

Yes, of course. You can do that as long the receiver has suitable input jacks.

So the sound of music will reflect on 5.1?

The fitPC2i has a combined digital/analog audio output. Analog should be standard stereo, but the digital out is a 5.1 Channels S/P-DIF. Both use the same 3,5mm TRS jack.

Over HDMI it will not do so.

That's correct. The HDMI connector outputs only DVI, which is the same signal as HDMI minus audio.

My Receiver has these connections.

Thank you very much

The orange RCA jacks should be spdif. There are cables to connect 3,5mm TRS to RCA. However, I don't know if you can select different sources for video (HDMI) and audio (SPDIF) with your receiver. You should check the manual.
