ASRock Industrial walks through a broad embedded compute stack, starting with compact SBC form factors like Pico-ITX and “NUC-size” boards, then scaling up to Mini-ITX and server-class motherboards for higher core counts and expansion. The focus is practical industrial integration: long-life platforms, dense I/O, and enough PCIe connectivity to attach accelerators, capture cards, fast storage, and high-speed networking for edge workloads

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

A recurring theme is edge AI packaged as deployable hardware, not just a chipset badge. The demo points at multi-camera analytics (roughly tens of video streams) where CPU + GPU/NPU throughput, memory bandwidth, and I/O determinism matter as much as raw TOPS. That fits deployments such as facial recognition, vision-based inspection, and local inference where latency and data-sovereignty keep processing on site.
On the system side, the tour contrasts fanless industrial boxes with more expansion-oriented designs. You see boxes tuned for factory and process automation with fixed, rugged I/O, and a thinner Ryzen-based unit highlighting multi-display output (multiple HDMI) for signage, control rooms, or operator panels. For heavier workloads, they point to a tower-style server configuration that pairs Intel Xeon-class platforms with add-in graphics for GPU-accelerated analysis and rendering.
The conversation is framed by Embedded World North America 2025, where visitors typically arrive with either a board-level design they need to finalize, or an installed base they want to modernize into an industrial gateway, edge server, or compact “industrial DC” node. The takeaway is the breadth of compute envelopes—from tiny embedded boards to accelerator-ready server boards—aimed at bridging OT constraints with modern x86 edge computing.
