Matrox Adds Three New Fanless Video Wall Controller Boards to Mura MPX Series

MONTREAL, April 3, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

   
            - New Mura MPX input/output boards offer passive cooling for increased
                    product longevity in mission-critical environments

    Matrox Graphics Inc. announced today the introduction of three new fanless Mura(TM)
MPX Series video wall controller boards that build upon the line's revolutionary design.
Mura is the first PCI Express (PCIe) x16 Gen 2 board class to feature both HD resolution
inputs and outputs. The new fanless SKUs make use of the same high-performance,
single-slot design with 64 Gbit/sec duplex data transfer and feature four HD outputs and
either zero, two, or four HD inputs for maximum I/O flexibility. The fanless Mura boards
have no moving parts, helping to further increase Matrox's industry-leading reliability.
With the ability to create quieter systems and a jump to three-year warranties, Matrox
expects a relatively quick OEM adoption of these new Mura cards.

    Mura boards can be scaled from just one board to create small video wall controllers
to multi-board medium-sized and even very large-sized video wall controllers in order to
support a wide range of applications from presentation systems in conference rooms,
auditoriums, control rooms, and classrooms to collaboration systems used in surveillance
and process control systems. With support for HDCP capture and output, the Mura line is
also now very popular in advanced digital signage solutions.

    "With these fanless models, Mura further distinguishes itself as the market's video
wall controller board standard," said Helgi Sigurdsson, Product Manager, Matrox Graphics
Inc. "Even greater product reliability complements the high degrees of performance, image
quality, and scalability associated with Mura MPX Series."

    Fanless Universal Output/Input Boards:

   
    - Mura MPX-4/0 (four outputs, zero inputs)
      Part number: Mura-MPX40HF
    - Mura MPX-4/2 (four outputs, two inputs)
      Part number: Mura-MPX42HF
    - Mura MPX-4/4 (four outputs, four inputs)
      Part number: Mura-MPX44HF

    Also available are Mura single-slot PCIe x4 analogue video input boards featuring
either 8 or 16 inputs and 8 Gbit/sec duplex data transfer. Each is compatible with Mura
input/output boards for the capture of additional analogue inputs on a given video wall
for greater customisation.

    Analogue Video Input Boards:

   
    - Mura MPX-V8 (8 inputs)
      Part number: Mura-MPXV8F
    - Mura MPX-V16 (16 inputs)
      Part number: Mura-MPXV16F

    Additionally, Mura third-generation SDI PCIe x16 controller boards, which capture and
display SDI video, support two 3G SDI inputs and two DVI outputs and feature 32 Gbit/sec
duplex data transfer.

    SDI Input/DVI Output Boards:

   
    - Mura MPX-SDI (two DVI outputs, two 3G SDI inputs)
      Part number: Mura-MPXSDIF

    All the Mura MPX Series products listed above are accompanied by three-year
warranties.

    Availability

    The Matrox Mura MPX Series fanless display wall controller boards and accompanying
development kits will be available as of April 2012. Fan-based models are also available
and in some instances may be better suited to meet specific system requirements.
