BCM’s BC57Q is a new generation PCH platform providing quad-core system performance, Full HD/Blu-ray Playback, and offering rich I/O and expansion interfaces. It has everything needed for high performance Industrial Control, Factory Automation, Medical Imaging, Self-Serve Kiosk, and Surveillance Industries.

Powerful System and Graphics Performance

The BC57Q is a fully integrated and scalable 2-chip hardware platform. It supports Intel® Core™ i7/ i5/ i3 desktop processors providing high system performance and delivering exceptional 1080p Full HD and Blu-ray Playback suitable for multi-tasking environments while handling mission critical applications. When operating with the Intel® Q57 Express Chipset, the entire system performance is increased more than 20% while reducing power consumption through power-efficient technology. When combined with the Intel® Core™ i5-750 CPU, the BC57Q ATX motherboard provides a 30% increase in 3D graphics performance improvement in comparison to the previous Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q9400 processor.

Smarter & Securer Remote Management

BC57Q’s onboard Intel® Q57 Chipset provides intelligent and user-friendly management features including Intel® AMT (iAMT), 16-bit programmable GPIO, Watchdog Timer, Smart Fan Control, and RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 data security.

The iAMT is supported by dual Intel® 82578LM Gigabit LAN chips enabling IT specialists to maintain the system remotely and reduce system downtime through the network. Embedded Remote PC Assist Technology makes advanced management functions, such as BIOS updates, OS booting, advanced OS management, Remote System Recovery, Infrastructure Enhancement and even remote keyboard, video and mouse control functions easily enabled. The BC57Q also supports a PC Alarm Clock function to ensure always-on operation during normal tasks and/or various demands of embedded remote management applications.

Rich I/O and Advanced USB 3.0 Onboard

The BC57Q supports versatile expansion and I/O functions such as dual PCIe x16 slots (one as a x4), four PCI, DVI-D + VGA dual display, dual Gigabit LAN, five SATAII, eSATA, and fourteen USB 2.0.

The BC57Q is an ideal solution for

Combining the above features in a single enterprise ATX motherboard, the BC57Q not only provides a stable and secure operating platform but also meets a majority of the requirements needed by most industrial applications. With its fully integrated features, the system developer may not need multiple or additional sophisticated or costly add-on cards eliminating also reducing possible compatibility or obsolescence issues associated with them. The major target market segments for the BC57Q is high-end digital surveillance and security, military, factory automation, and powerful embedded medical applications.
