Personal Cinema is nVidia's answer to ATI's All-in-Wonder series, with many of the same capabilities as the AIW, including an RF remote control. It's a long-awaited update to the original Personal Cinema, based on the GeForce 4 family of chips.
The latest addition to AOpen's line up of graphic cards is the Aeolus FX5600 Personal Cinema, which supplements the Aeolus FX5200 Personal Cinema in Aopen's range. As its name suggests, the Aeolus FX5600 is based around nVidia's FX5600 DirectX 9 GPU - the mid-range version of the FX5800 high-end card. It comes with 128MB of DDR memory, a 325MHz core clock and a 400MHz memory clock with the GPU being actively cooled by a fan.
With an integrated Philips TV tuner taking up space on the board, there's only space for one monitor connector. AOpen has chosen to go with the normal 15-pin D-sub connector, rather than a DVI port. Joining this on the backplate is the TV input port and the 41-pin connector for the AV breakout box.
The AV box has stereo input and output ports, composite video I/O and S-Video I/O ports, so all types of audio and video appliances can be hooked up to the card. The remote control looks very much like the one that comes with ATI's products, which is no surprise, as they're both made by the same manufacturer. The receiver for the remote plugs into a USB port.
The software bundle includes nVidia's NVDVD, Ulead DVD Movie Factory, Ulead VideoStudio and WinDVR.
