Sony's 4K digital projectors allow us to project live concerts and sporting
events, ultra high-resolution movies and presentations created using future
technologies. MicroTCA is a cost-optimized architecture that uses AMCs that
are plugged directly into backplanes. By using standard hardware and software
components from multiple vendors, ATCA, AMC, and MicroTCA reduce the time and
cost-to-market of high-performance , high-density systems, but present
challenges for achieving carrier-grade synchronization reliability .
