Matrox's Extio Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the serious-kvm-solutions dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Looks like Matrox isn't as dead as some of us thought. This box of tricks lets you connect four displays up to a PC that's 250 meters away. All the graphic data is sent down a fiber optic cable to the Matrox box that then connects to the screens. To the end user it feels like they're working directly on the PC, but the PC can be locked away somewhere safe."

    Don't know why this has been modded insightful. Regardless of where the laptops are physically they would probably be connected to the same network or subnet anyway. It's not like where a PC is physically located has any bearing on what network you would connect it to nowadays.
