RGU is performance
alternative to KVM extender

Remote graphics unit enables the extension of one or two displays, audio, two IEEE1394 FireWire ports, and up to six USB devices, such as keyboard and mouse, by up to 250m

The Extio F1220 is the latest addition to the series of remote graphics units (RGUs) from Matrox Graphics, and enables the extension of one or two displays, audio, two IEEE1394 FireWire ports, and up to six USB devices, such as keyboard and mouse, by up to 250m. By separating the computer from the monitors and user-interface, the Extio series of products helps address issues such as security, heat, noise, system maintenance and support in high-reliability computing environments.

'The Extio series reinforces the Matrox commitment to delivering the most stable and reliable graphics solutions to professional workstations and mission-critical monitoring systems', says Samuel Recine, Business Development Manager - Critical Decision Systems, Matrox Graphics.

'The Extio F1220 will join the Extio product family in providing a more integrated and higher-performance alternative to older KVM extension and DVI extension technologies'.

With support for one or two digital or analogue monitors at resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 per monitor, 128Mbyte of graphics memory, fanless operation (no moving parts), and a Matrox-designed graphics chip, the Extio F1220 provides long-lasting and reliable operation.

The Extio F1220 RGU is connected to a Matrox PCI or PCI-Express Extio adapter card in a workstation or server slot via a standard multimode fibre-optic cable with Dual-LC connectors.

The connectivity options include six USB 2.0 ports (four at the front, two at the back), integrated audio hardware with standard audio jacks, and two IEEE1394 FireWire ports.

Driver features for Extio series products include support for Pivot, PowerRes for robust widescreen display, stretched and independent display, and other powerful display management features.

Key application areas include financial, insurance, and commodities trading systems; emergency and transportation dispatch control systems; process control systems; security systems; command-and-control systems; and other high-reliability applications in enterprise, industrial and government systems.

The Matrox Extio F1220 will be available in the second quarter of 2007.
