Graphics Hardware Considerations for Windows Network Projectors (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

Windows Network Projector system performance is highly dependent on graphic s hardware performance. Graphics hardware and networking hardware are the most critical hardware components for achieving optimal performance in a network projector's display capabilities. Display performance for a Windows Network Projector is directly dependent upon the speed at which the target device hardware is able to process and render the image and graphics changes.

The graphics hardware's system-to-video data transfer rate has the greatest impact on display and rendering performance. Graphics hardware with a system-to-video data transfer rate of 60 MB/s or greater should result in reasonable performance for most presentations with graphical animation. Using graphics hardware with higher system to video data transfer rates will improve performance.

At a minimum, a Windows Network Projector must support a display resolution of 800 x 600, also known as SVGA resolution. The network projector's maximum resolution is limited by the supported Windows Embedded CE and graphics hardware resolutions. Support for higher display resolutions and increased color depth will increase the amount of data that needs to be processed, which will affect the time and system resources necessary to render display updates.
