SHENZHEN, China, May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- WITS Technology Co., Ltd, Allwinner Technology's authorized agent and design house in Shenzhen, launched the Allwinner quad-core A31-based development kit-Columbus development system at the end of March, 2013, which is now available for global shipment.

Brief Introduction

Columbus shows that the powerful functions of the A31, along with its various interfaces make for an extremely stable platform. It can function as a development and test platform for tablets, advertising machines, education tools, security devices, smart TVs, IBMS, industrial control systems, medical equipment, car media, mobile phones and more, shortening the product development cycle.

Equipped with dual-channel 64-bit DDR3 and dual-channel 16-bit NAND Flash, the A31 can increase the reading and writing speed of a system's random-access memory. Moreover, the A31 has an efficient power consumption management system and can work with a smart power management PMICAXP221 - to achieve dynamic power management and longer battery life.

Advantages in Different Applications

Games

With the robust PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU, the A31 can deliver an excellent game experience to users with crystal clear images, a fluent interface, and better compatibility.

Video

The A31 comes with fourth-generation video processing technology from Allwinner Technology. It provides 4Kx2K video decoding; Blue-ray 3D@30fps, quad-lane 720P video encoding and 4K player can provide multi-video suspension display. It can also offer a more open video engine interface, compliant with the OpenMax standard.

Webpages

The website can offer a suspension video and a faster loading speed. If the bandwidth is fast enough, the mainstream web loading time can be lower than 5 seconds.

Cameras

The A31 has 4 lanes of MIPI CSI connectors and can offer a camera with 12 million pixels, videotape with 1080P@60fps, and it also can do face detection, pan-shot, auto-focusing and function as a camera for 3D, among other features.

Memory

The A31 offers 16-bit dual-channel NAND, enhancing the reading and writing speed by 100%.

Low Power Consumption

The battery life of the A31 can be increased by over 20%: 30 days standby, 100 hours music playback, 10 hours video playback and 8 hours webpage browsing.
