Dansk Automat Expert A/S Design Win

Since 1977, DAE Denmark has been at the forefront of game technology, always implementing the latest technologies. Their continuous investments in Research and Development place them in the top amongst the most professional AWP manufacturers in the world. Their products have been sold in major markets including; Germany, Norway, and Hungary.

The company's "NG Topgame"  products will be based on Innocore's DPX-117 and offer several video configurations, making use of both the Intel Integrated graphics of the DPX-117 and also the LVDS interface available with some of the MXMs cards.

Until now DAE has been developing their own systems from hardware to software, but taking the step to their Next Generation Topgame they realized that developing their own hardware to this project was not a profitable idea. In fact their main business is now developing the new game concepts and of course program their own software.

DAE was around different suppliers of hardware but found out that Innocore was the best supplier for them - relating to hardware and very important - and effectively back up to their software staff.

Kim Elgaard of DAE commented "We are very pleased with the cooperation with Innocore, and although we know that we don't buy quantities as the big manufactures abroad we get the same very good service and feed back from Innocore."
