DTS CONNECT
ENABLING DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT
• DTS Connect includes DTS Neo:PC™ and DTS Interactive™ to bring new sound capabilities to the PC.
DTS Neo:PC converts stereo sources into 7.1 channel sound
DTS Interactive enables the user to re-encode multichannel sources into 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround for playback through a home entertainment system.
   
Listen to Stereo Movies and Music in Surround Sound
• What is DTS Neo:PC
– DTS Neo:PC expands conventional stereo sources (CD, MP3, WMA, even Internet FM radio) into as many as 7.1 channels of surround sound.

– Virtually any stereo sound source connected to or stored on the PC can be expanded as shown in the following diagram:


   

What is DTS Interactive?
– DTS Interactive encodes any 5.1 channel audio source into full DTS Digital Surround and links a PC to a DTS capable home entertainment system.

– DTS Interactive connects a PC with a home entertainment system with a single digital cable, making setup simple. The diagram below illustrates the DTS Interactive encoding process.

Dual Digital Audio
ENABLING DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT
Digital Fibre and Coaxical S/PDIF outputs provide the highest quality sound output, and more flexibility for connecting audio systems. Dual Digital Audio enables you to isolate different sound sources on your PC and split them between either the two digital outputs or via analogue 7.1 channel audio and front panel audio outputs.

Enhanced Connectivity
CONNECTIVITY FOR THE DIGITAL WORLD
The new SB750 Southbridge provides more SATAII and USB ports than the earlier SB600.
The A79A-S can therefore support 6* SATAII, 2* eSATA, 2* Firewire (1394a) and 12* USB2.0 ports.
   
   
SATA RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 functionality can be easily managed by the AMD RAIDXpert™ utility.
> Manage your drives for better performance or reliability
>
Manage your RAID Remotely
   
 
Supports 6 internal Serial ATAII and 2* External Serial ATA (eSATA)
Higher data transfer speed :
- 2 times faster than Serial ATA
- 6 times faster than USB 2.0
Easy to extend for all SATA device – HDD, optical drive

HyperTransport 3.0
ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
HyperTransport™ 3.0 technology provides incredible system agility for improved 3D graphics performance.

HT3.0 provides an aggregate bandwidth of 41.6GB/s which means much greater data transfer capability between CPU and system.
  Why HT3.0?
The increased bandwidth provided by HT3.0 allows for a more balanced system and maximizes the processing power of multi-core CPUs and multi-GPU configurations.

ATI CrossFireX & PCIe Gen2.0 Support
ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
4* PCIe x16 Gen2.0 ( x16+x16 or 4* x8 mode) with CrossFireX™ support delivers unrivalled graphics expansion capability.
  PCIe Gen2.0
PCI Express Gen2.0 technology doubles the available aggregate bandwidth between PCIe Generation 2 cards and the motherboard. This means a Gen2.0 16-lane (x16) link can provide up to 16GB/s of bandwidth ; 8GB/s in each direction.

PCIe Gen2.0 is backwards compatible, and so existing PCIe “Gen1” cards can be plugged into Gen2.0 slots.

100% SOLID Capacitor & Ferrite Choke Design
ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
Foxconn's 100% SOLID Capacitor design improves component reliability, by replacing electrolytic capacitors with solid versions; this removes the risk of capacitor failure damaging the PCB and surrounding components, whilst improving overall system performance and stability. Solid capacitors are much more durable than standard electrolytic versions, typically lasting around 6 times longer and withstanding higher operating temperatures.
Ferrite Choke
Ferrite Choke design improves power delivery to the motherboard. By using an iron-oxide core, the Ferrite Choke design can hold energy at a higher frequency than traditional iron cores, resulting in less power loss, and more stability and performance capability for your system, especially when under heavy loading.
