Matrox Announces New High-Performance KVM Extender for Mission-Critical Environments

Matrox Extio F2408 drives four high-resolution displays, delivering uncompromised performance up to 1 kilometre from the host PC

MONTREAL, November 10, 2010 - Matrox Graphics Inc. today announced the launch of the Matrox Extio
F2408, the latest remote graphics solution that separates up to four high
resolution displays plus USB keyboard, mouse, and other HIDs from the host
system by up to 1 kilometre (3280 feet) of fibre-optic cable. Building on the
success of the existing Matrox Extio product line, the Extio F2408 unique bus
extension technology guarantees full HD resolution support and uncompromised
workstation performance at the operator station. Extio F2408 can also add
additional outputs with the optional Matrox Extio F2408 Expander to connect
up to eight displays — at resolutions up to 2560×1600 per monitor — to
reliably drive process control rooms, dispatch centers, and other
mission-critical applications from a single workstation, fibre-optic cable,
and adapter.

"The Extio F2408 KVM extender allows system operators to benefit from a
graphics platform that delivers the same image quality and system performance
as if they were located at the host PC," says Alain Thiffault, Business
Development Manager, Matrox Graphics, Inc. "Extio transmits uncompressed data
to and from the host system eliminating dropped frames, data latency, and
artifacts for flawless image output on a productivity-enhancing,
multi-display configuration of up to eight displays-even at 1 kilometre
away!"

Additional Matrox Extio F2408 key features:

    - Ideal for mission-critical applications that require a stable, reliable
      I/O extension technology
    - Independent and stretched mode support for 4x1 and 2x2 configurations
    - 5 USB 2.0 ports offer flexible connectivity for HIDs (keyboard, mouse,
      touch screens)
    - Passive cooling (heat sink with no fan) for silent operation and extra
      reliability
    - Customizable setups with Matrox PowerDesk desktop management software
    - Support for Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 7 (32/64 bit), Windows XP (32/64
      bit), Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2003, and Linux
