Matrox launches the Extio F1220: The newest addition to the Extio series product line
|
Montreal, Canada, January 23, 2007 — Matrox Graphics Inc., the leading manufacturer of graphics solutions for professionals, announces the Extio™ F1220, the latest addition to the Extio series of Remote Graphics Units (RGUs). The Extio F1220 enables the extension of one or two displays, audio, two IEEE 1394 FireWire ports, and up to six USB devices, including keyboard and mouse, by up to 820 feet (250 meters). 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, and system access in digital signage environments.
"The Extio F1220 increases the range of Matrox offerings for split-computing environments in mission-critical systems, media creation, broadcast, control room, and digital signage applications," says Alan Vandenbussche, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Matrox Graphics Inc. "The Extio series represents an alternative to older KVM Extension and DVI Extension technologies that is more flexible, higher in performance and more highly integrated."
With support for one or two digital or analog monitors at resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 per monitor, 128MB 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 computer, workstation or server slot via a standard multi-mode fiber-optic cable with Dual-LC connectors. The connectivity options include 6 USB 2.0 ports (4 at the front, 2 at the back), integrated audio hardware with standard audio jacks, and two IEEE 1394 FireWire ports. Driver features for Extio series products include support for Pivot, PowerRes for rich widescreen display support, stretched and independent resolution support, and other powerful display management features.
