Combine multiple single-slot, PCIe x16 Gen 2 output/input boards for unparalleled performance, image quality, and scalability

MONTREAL, January 26, 2011 - Matrox Graphics Inc. today announced the new Matrox Mura(TM) MPX Series
display wall controller board line-up for collaborative display walls and
matrix switcher/scaler installations. The new Mura MPX Series cards combine
traditionally separate input and output cards onto a single-slot, PCI Express
x16 Gen 2 board, leveraging 64 Gb/sec full duplex data transfer to display
full frame rate, HD video input channels. The MPX Series output/input boards
feature highly flexible, universal input channel support for both digital and
analogue video (HD, SL-DVI, RGB/VGA, Component, S-Video, and Composite), plus
capture and display data sources at full RGB888 image quality with zero
compression. System integrators can easily add multiple MPX output/input
boards within a single system and incorporate MPX video capture cards for
high-volume, analogue video input deployments.

    Universal Output/Input Boards:

      - Mura MPX-4/0 (4 outputs, 0 inputs)

    Part number: Mura-MPX44F

      - Mura MPX-4/2 (4 outputs, 2 inputs)

    Part number: Mura-MPX42F

      - Mura MPX-4/4 (4 outputs, 4 inputs)

    Part number: Mura-MPX40F

    Analogue Video Input Boards:

      - Mura MPX-V8 (8 inputs)

    Part number: Mura-MPX44F

      - Mura Mura MPX-V16 (16 inputs)

    Part number: Mura-MPXV16F

The ultimate building block for control room video walls, digital
signage, and corporate presentation environments, Mura MPX Series includes an
updated SDK, including API software-backwards compatible with the existing
Matrox PPX/VPX Display Wall Series-plus a new network API with integrated
media input/output control for a quicker time to market. The ideal add-in
board for display wall controllers, Mura MPX Series can also be integrated
within switcher/scaler solutions, providing all-in-one switching, signal
conversion, scaling, and de-interlacing capabilities, eliminating the need to
purchase separate solutions.

"System designers and integrators will be impressed by the performance,
image quality and scalability that Matrox Mura MPX Series has to offer," says
Helgi Sigurdsson, Product Manager, Matrox Graphics Inc. "Designed with both
outputs and inputs on the same single-slot card to take full advantage of the
duplex nature of the PCIe x16 bus, multiple MPX add-in boards can easily be
combined in a single system to build large-scale video wall and matrix
switcher/scaler solutions."

Matrox will be showcasing the Matrox Mura technology at Integrated
Systems Europe 2011 in Booth# 11F48, Hall 11, from February 1-3 at the
Amsterdam RAI.
