The Smart Display Module slots directly into products that support Intel’s standard, drawing power from the host device itself. The included heatsink fits within the SDM form factor to conduct heat away from Compute Module 5. The module also provides HDMI output to support a second, independent video stream, and an M.2 expansion slot for optional AI acceleration or high-speed storage.
