Designed for professional applications, this product supports up to four digital or analogue monitors at a time, and has passive (fanless) cooling.
'Matrox remote graphics unit technology is ideal for a variety of mission-critical applications like computer-aided dispatch, security monitoring, and process control', says Samuel Recine, Product Manager, Matrox Graphics.
'With its unique combination of features, this product can help save time and money, and increase system security'.
Matrox Extio provides extra security and reliability by allowing the critical parts of a computer like the disks, memory, and processors to be kept in a separate, safe, secure room.
This also saves space at the work station, removes a potentially noisy computer, and allows system administrators to access and maintain the system at a separate location.
This technology has a better combination of integration, reliability, image quality, and distance than other extension technologies.
The versatile Matrox Extio F1400 remote graphics unit (RGU) has a Matrox-designed graphics chip, 128Mbyte of graphics memory, dual-LC connector for fibre-optic cable, four DVI-I monitor connectors, six USB 2.0 ports (four in front, two at the back), integrated audio hardware, an optical connector for digital audio output, and analogue audio connectors for a microphone input, line input, and line output.
To meet different slot requirements, Matrox separately offers PCI or PCI Express (PCIe) fibre-optic interface cards for Extio products.
