Matrox Extio 3 IP KVM extenders

Matrox’s Extio 3 high-performance IP KVM extenders are capable of delivering secure, ultralow-bitrate 4Kp60, dual 4Kp30 or quad 1080p60 video signals over a standard Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network. The product’s efficiency-boosting Aggregator Mode meanwhile has the ability to enable remote monitoring and control of multiple systems with a single keyboard and mouse.

The IP KVM extension and switching solution provides 4Kp60 4:4:4, dual 4Kp30 4:4:4 or quad 1080p60 4:4:4 desktop-quality video at 5% of the bandwidth required by other products, according to the company. Featuring multidisplay resolution support, flexibility and security features, the KVM extenders deliver a secure remote desktop experience.

Configurable as a point-to-point or networked KVM, the product extends all audio, video, USB2.0 and RS232 signals over a single fibre-optic or CATx cable. Compatible with standard GigE network switches, it delivers a scalable KVM matrix switching solution over IP, where any system can be securely accessed from any remote operator station — maximising information flow for improved collaboration and decision-making.

The product includes Matrox Extio Central Manager — an intuitive, easy-to-use software to remotely configure, manage and monitor all network-connected extenders from one central location. Additionally, an on-screen display (OSD) on Extio 3 receiver appliances allows operators to conveniently preview all authorised computer desktops — readily identifiable via thumbnail previews — to instantly access and switch between multiple systems. For lower-level customisation, integrators and developers can leverage Extio Central Manager APIs to build personalised Extio Central Manager applications and/or integrate Extio 3 functionality into existing control applications.
