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."

  1. Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these by slincolne · · Score: 5, Interesting
    A nice, quiet, mediawall without the bulk of the PC's to get in the way.

    These would be so cool for demonstrations and conventions.

    I wonder how many of these cards you could fit in a single computer ?
