The CM-iVC3 module is a small but extremely powerful PC-compatible COM (Computer-On-Module), designed to serve as a building block in a variety of embedded applications. The CM-iVC3 has all the components needed to run operating systems such as Windows  XP / CE, Linux, VxWorks, QNX or DOS. Ready BIOS and operating systems packages are available from CompuLab.

The CM-iVC3 is both small and inexpensive relative to products of its class, which allows its integration into compact applications requiring both embedded and multimedia feature sets.

The feature set of the CM-iVC3 module includes practically all of the components found in a high-end desktop computer. For embedded applications, the CM-iVC3 provides a Flash Disk, PCI bus, 100Mbit Ethernet, UART's, I/O lines and many other essential functions. For multimedia applications, the CM-iVC3 has a dual head graphics controller, an MPEG decoder, video input, sound and touchscreen controllers. 

Software support for the CM-iVC3 includes ready-to-run packages for:

* Linux
* Windows CE & XP
* DOS
