Matrox Graphics is to showcase multi-display graphics solutions for automation and process control professionals at the Interphex 2007 Conference and Exhibition, April 24th to 26th, New York.

Matrox Graphics, provider of an extensive range of multi-display graphics solutions for the emerging needs in process control, automation and other mission-critical environments, will demonstrate the Extio 1400 multi-display remote graphics unit (RGU) and PPX board-level display wall controller product.

The Extio and display wall demonstrations will be displayed using AFC Industries' electronic, height-adjustable workstation and 12-monitor Control Pod for process control professionals.

The Matrox Extio F1400 multi-display RGU enables the extension of up to four displays, audio and six USB devices by up to 820ft of fibre-optic cable.

In addition, the Extio F1400 features passive (fanless) cooling and PCI Express technology, which makes it an ideal solution for professional and mission critical applications requiring a reliable and stable graphics and I/O extension solution.

By separating the computer from the monitors and user-interface, the Extio series of products helps address issues such as security, heat, noise, system maintenance, and support in high-reliability computing environments.

The Matrox PPX family of board-level products provides an ideal building block for display wall controllers.

With the most scalable architecture in the industry, these products enable OEMs and A/V integrators to customise installations based on customer-specific requirements.

The PPX line includes input (capture) and output board-level products.
