I can with a high confidence say that Xena ain't AJA Xena. That would make no sense what so ever. I'm currently working as a CTO in a post production company and it would make no sense what so ever to aim a new not widely adopted system to professional editors.
I mean... where would a system like that fit our pipeline? It means that they need something that can compete with Avid, FCP or Premiere (premiere isn't really PRO and I'm biting my tongue when I call FCP pro but guess I have to...).
A system like that has to be able to connect to >2TB DAS fibre storage, SAN or NAS. A system like that is dependent on 3rd party developers like Genarts, The Foundry, Red Giant etc for plugins to even have a chance out there. Not to mention that QuickTime support, unfortunately, is a must for a system like that.
And if it was aimed as just a ingest/transcode station for generation of like DPX or EXR the AJA card isn't what's needed. We're talking about hardware like what DVS provide: http://www.dvs.de/products/video-boards/archive.html We're talking realtime operations if people even would think about it. ANd it's not an easy fiel to compete in.
And if that's what they're aiming at the competition is DVS owns Clipster and then we're playing in a different league and a totally different price (100k+ EUR)...
So based on the argument that it wouldn't make any sense what so ever and that it would be suicide to make a video editing system I say that we can cross that one of the list. =)

Would be cool - but let's wait and see.
I do hope that Hyperion A-Eon are ready to handle the pre-orders for this thing. I also hope that it is well tested too._________________ Sam |

| Taking a wild stab in the dark (with only the timing of its initial sampling back in October plus will be available Q1 2010 and that it is a dual core as clues) I think the Applied Micro/AMCC APM 83290 could be a contender.
The Xilinx FPGA up near the PCI ports is interesting, PQFP packages aren't really useful for high speed stuff so maybe it is being used to interface with 5V PCI cards or even legacy 5V stuff in the Xorro port?

| It looks like the PPC460GTx dual core chip from Applied Micro (formerly AMCC) Note the X!!!! X=PPC460GTx Do I win a prize?
It even looks like the corner of the chip on the board if you zoom in. Same colour and rounded edges.
Specs are: With speeds of up to 1.4 GHz, the PowerPC 460GTx embedded processor offers a powerful mix of high bandwidth, design flexibility, and robust features. With two Gen 2 PCI Express interfaces, an on-chip DDR2 SDRAM controller, network encryption engine, and a rich peripheral mix, the PowerPC 460GTx embedded processor is ideally suited for network and wireless infrastructure, and general purpose control plane applications.
Rogue said: It's two PCIe x16, three PCIe x1, two legagacy PCI 33 Mhz, and Xorro.
It could even be the PPC460SX PPC460SX specs

Isn't NAS what A-cube is trying to get into? Linked somehow?

Argh! What? What didn't we find?!
New custom case, new custom chip - clearly going to run 4.1. Someone is finally, FINALLY doing a new Amiga properly.
Is it really possible that the Amiga is back?
We even going ot have an 'A' name?
A1000?
Crikey - we'll be getting proper ring-bound manuals in the box next. Oooh Hyperion - you do spoil us. _________________ Sam |

But the X on PPC460GTx is lower case and the cpu is not multicore
I think that the yellow and black colors of the X are relevant.What Company or CPU logo are black and yellow?
PD: Anyway i think that the X is binding to XENA and not to the CPULast edited by Fransexy on 03-Jan-2010 at 12:58 PM.

Which would be fantastic allowing us the advantage of software updates.
Just trying to clear up this Xorro/Zorro thing though what is a Xorro slot? I know what a Zorro slot is._________________ Sam |

I doubt it. The cpu you are suggesting is single core while, on the other hand, we have some evidence that we are going dual core!! _________________

Yes, I know, but the specs look quite similar to the high-end board. _________________ Common sense - So rare it's almost like a super power |

| Could it be possible that this new MB already works on AmigaOS 4.1.1?
I can't believe it but I want to 
"Remember when computing was fun?" No, but I want to 
Would it be possible that XENA is a Minimig?

Then, What freescale CPU is at least dual core, draws less than 20W and have PCIe x16 controllers? _________________ No PowerPC, No Fun Make Amiga Great Again |

| I can see lines running directly to the PCI-Express slots from the CPU. This most likely means an SOC product with dual memory controllers.
The memory slots look like DDR2 - not DDR3. The "bump" is in the middle while in DDR3 it is to the side, I believe. DDR3 would help narrow things down more.
To drive 2x8 + 2x1 you need at least 18 dedicated PCI-Ex lanes. That narrows things down again. My guess is there is some sort of bridge on one or both of the x1 PCI-Ex lanes to drive the SATA, USB, ethernet, PCI and XZorro slots.
Candidates? - Cell? No PCI-E lanes. OUT - 8640/8641d? Only 2 x8 PCI-E lanes, cannot operate in 16x mode. OUT - 8572e? Only supports 1 x8 PCI-E lane. OUT - QorIQ P10xx series? Only 1 memory controller, few PCI-E lanes. OUT - QorIQ P20xx series? Only 1 memory controller, few PCI-E lanes. OUT - QorIQ P40xx series? Dual memory controller, 18 PCI-E lanes. CANDIDATE BUT current docs only show max link with of 8x on a PCI-E controller
Are there any chips out there that do PCI-Ex 16x? Maybe it's the Titan? A clue is the press release for this chip mentions DDR2, not DDR3. Most other current Freescale chips use DDR3 and I would expect to see DDR3 support on the M/B.
I'm sooo confused. Last edited by gregthecanuck on 03-Jan-2010 at 01:08 PM.
