Matrox Partners with Goma Elettronica SpA to Develop Advanced Workstations for Mission-Critical Applications

Matrox P-Series, M-Series, and Extio Series multi-display graphics solutions power GOMA industrial workstations for defense, industrial, and transportation environments

MONTREAL, November 12 - Matrox Graphics Inc., the leading manufacturer of specialized graphics
solutions, and Goma Elettronica SpA, today announced a partnership to develop
customized workstations for defense, industrial, and transportation
environments. Goma has validated the Matrox M-Series, P-Series, and Extio
Series multi-display graphics solutions with their industrial PC product line
and will be showcasing these technologies at Focus Embedded 2009 on November
17th in Milan, Italy.

Actively involved in the deployment of railway control room systems for
the visualization of synoptic maps, Goma recently incorporated Matrox
M-Series Dual and QuadHead cards to run six digital monitors - at resolutions
1920×1200 per display - from a single PC. The M-Series cards were able to
satisfy customer workspace requirements because the solutions offered both
PCIe x16 and x1 bus types, complying with PCI Industrial Computer
Manufacturers Group (PICMG) standards that permit only one single PCIe x16
expansion slot on the backplane. In another interesting transportation
application, Goma selected the Matrox P690 as part of a two-monitor avionics
graphics console for installation on a Falcon aircraft. The graphics solution
was selected based on performance, dimensions, weight, power dissipation, and
long life requirements, to enable mission data management and visualization
operations at altitudes of up to 25,000 feet.

"Matrox has been working closely with Goma Elettronica to satisfy their
customer's unique graphics requirements for installations running high-end,
mission-critical applications," says Samuel Recine, Business Development
Manager, Matrox Graphics. "This cooperation allows Goma to build reliable,
multi-display workstation platforms so mission-critical operators never have
to worry about system performance."

"Matrox offers a broad portfolio of products designed for the specific
requirements of process automation, rail management and other
mission-critical systems. With form factors ranging from PCI to PCIe x1 and
PCIe x16 across many product families, Matrox solutions are compatible with a
variety of specialized systems," states Irene Gozzo, Sales & Marketing
Manager, Goma Elettronica SpA. "This, plus display drivers that offer
industry-leading capabilities, with the ability to support multi-board
configurations with up to eight displays - to power up to 8 displays -
provide us many options when designing Goma Elettronica Industrial PCs."
