Matrox Fiber-Optic KVM Extenders Provide Real-Time Control While Eliminating System Background Noise and Heat in Video Editing Studios

Matrox Avio F120 KVM extenders enable the zero-compression, zero-latency extension of dual-HD video editing workstations and peripherals at Pixcom.
MONTREAL — 11 November 2014 — Matrox® Graphics Inc. today announced production company Groupe Pixcom Inc. has successfully installed Matrox Avio F120 fiber-optic KVM extenders, which have been running flawlessly since day one. Pixcom has eliminated system background noise and heat in their video editing studios by centralizing systems in a separate machine room with Avio transmitter/receiver pairs, letting video editors maintain real-time control over high-resolution dual-display desktops and peripherals.
Moving into new offices, Pixcom required new fiber-optic KVM extenders to securely centralize high-performance workstations up to 100 meters from their video editing studios. Pixcom chose Avio over competitors for its comprehensive feature set, including zero-latency 10Gbps transmission over a single fiber-optic cable. Ease of integration, supported distance (10 km or 6.2 mi), 4K-readiness, and a compact, rack-mountable design also factored into Pixcom’s decision.
