Extio 3 Series | Dual-Monitor IP KVM Extenders

Secure IP KVM control for critical workflows

Matrox® Extio N3208 IP KVM supports dual displays (2x 1920x1200 @60Hz) or a single high-resolution display (2560x1600 @60Hz) along with keyboard and mouse, USB 2.0, and audio signals at unprecedented low bitrates over standard Gigabit Ethernet. Easy to set up, Extio N3208 can be configured as a point-to-point extender or KVM over IP, delivering multiple video, keyboard, mouse, USB 2.0, and audio signals over a single fiber optic or copper cable. Ready compatibility with standard network switches significantly diminishes the total cost of ownership to deliver a scalable, secure, and cost-effective KVM matrix switching solution.

Extio 3 KVM extenders support 4:4:4 applications at low bitrates over standard 1 GbE networks. Featuring two DisplayPort™ connectors, Extio 3 also extends multi-display desktops extender and delivers multiple video, keyboard, mouse, USB 2.0, audio, and RS232 signals with a single pair of KVM transmitter and receiver units—over LAN, WAN, or internet—for the ultimate KVM matrix over IP.

Deploy flexible, scalable, secure configurations - easily

Whether deployed as point-to-point extenders or as KVM over IP, KVM extenders offer the flexibility to adapt to your installations as demands change. With the power to create flexible, scalable, and secure KVM matrix-routing using standard network switches, Extio 3 enables you to easily expand your installations with confidence and without costly upgrades to help future proof your investment.

Fast multi-monitor, multi-system control

View and operate two source computer systems from any Extio receiver unit and control them with a single keyboard and mouse set. Seamlessly shift control from one target source system to another simply by moving your mouse across a multi-screen desktop.

With Aggregator Mode, you can shift from the current desktop to the next by moving the mouse freely across multiple desktops.

Secure KVM control

A non-intrusive solution, Extio 3 doesn’t require any additional software installation on the source system. It also features multiple built-in safety protections to prevent security gaps in the safeguarding of sensitive information:

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to encrypt KVM signals transmitted between transmitter and receiver units.
USB encryption and device management to block or authorize USB 2.0 devices.
Integration with Microsoft® Active Directory® and with an IPSec (Internet Security Protocol) VPN client to ensure secure KVM extension over the internet.

High availability & redundancy

Build redundancy and fault tolerance into your installations. Supporting a distributed model of operation, Extio 3 removes single point of failure by storing all device settings and connectivity rules in each transmitter and receiver unit. Extio 3 appliances also feature two network interface ports that are configurable for link redundancy.

Fits into any environment

Designed for collaborative workspaces, Extio 3 is ideal for any control room setting. And its 1U, ½ rack design means Extio 3 can fit into any rack mount or mounted under a desk or to the side of a cabinet.
