Mini-ITX motherboards developed by congatec offer enhanced multimedia performance and performance-per-watt ratio, as well as flexible task allocation on the CPU and GPU. The industrial embedded computer boards are based on AMD Embedded G-Series SoC technology, which integrates a Jaguar-based processor and AMD Radeon graphics cores.

The board comes in three variations: a low-energy 9-W TDP 1.0-GHz dual-core processor GX-210HA SoC with integrated AMD Radeon HD 8210E graphics; a dual-core 18-W TDP GX-217GA SoC processor model with integrated AMD Radeon HD 8280E graphics; or a 2.0-GHz quad-core AMD Embedded GX-420CA SoC with integrated AMD Radeon HD 8400E graphics.

Integrated AMD Radeon graphics feature the Universal Video Decoder 4.2 for seamless processing of BluRays with HDCP (1080p), MPEG-2, HD, and DivX (MPEG-4) videos. The conga-IGX also supports DirectX 11.1 and OpenGL 4.0 for fast 2D and 3D imaging and OpenCL 1.1.

Interface options include single-/dual-channel 18-/24-bit LVDS, DisplayPort 1.2 and DVI/HDMI 1.4a, allowing for direct control of two independent displays. DisplayPort 1.2 also enables ATI Eyefinity multi-display technology for panorama view and multi-streaming, making it possible to control up to two displays per graphics port in daisy-chain mode.
