Introducing Matrox Mura: The New Benchmark for Collaborative Video Walls

MONTREAL, November 17, 2010/PRNewswire/ --

    - New PCIe 2.0 x16 controller board and switch fabric technologies offer
extraordinary throughput to deliver unmatched image quality and performance

    Matrox Graphics Inc. unveils the ultimate building block for video wall
controllers with the new Matrox Mura(TM) controller board, capable of
capturing four full 1080p HD inputs and simultaneously driving four monitors
at up to 2048x1080, while maintaining full RGB 888 image quality. Based on
second generation PCI Express technology, the controller board boasts a x16
bus interface providing an unrivalled 64 Gb/s of bandwidth for cutting-edge
performance, while the customised 10-slot Matrox Mura switch fabric can
deliver 512 Gb/s upstream and downstream for an unprecedented total
throughput of 1Tb/sec. The flexible, all-in-one controller board captures
content from and displays to a range of signal types including RGB, DVI/HDMI,
component, composite, and S-video sources. Integrating input and output plus
support for all types of channels in one single-slot controller board
simplifies inventory management, while its standard form factor makes it easy
to integrate into any video wall processor.

    Matrox partner Amara International Ltd. will be showcasing Matrox Mura
technology at InfoComm Asia 2010 in Booth 7C04, from November 17-19 at the
Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center.

    "Matrox Mura's upstream and downstream capabilities on a single board-at
4 times the performance of its competition-represents the new building block
standard for display wall applications," says Alain Thiffault, Business
Development Manager, Matrox Graphics Inc. "By replacing existing multi-board
set offerings, integrators can now easily exploit a mainstream computer's
available system slots to drive boardroom-type installs or use our custom
switch fabric to comfortably power large-scale visualization and
collaboration environments."

    The new addition to the well-established Matrox family of Display Wall
Controller boards supports the existing Matrox Display Wall API interface,
allowing current OEM customers to use their existing wall management
software, without any additional development, for a seamless transition from
the existing Matrox VPX(TM) and Matrox PPX(TM) product lines. Matrox Display
Wall SDK now offers a new management interface, network API, and RS-232
control to help new customers shorten their time to market.

    Availability

    The new Matrox Mura controller board is designed for Microsoft(R)
Windows(R) 7 64-bit systems and offers superior performance at a competitive
price. Developer kits are available now for select partners. Contact Matrox
for additional details on Mura and our wide range of video wall solutions.
