PCIe 2.0 x16 controller board and switch fabric technologies for collaborative video walls
Matrox Graphics Inc. (Montreal) has unveiled the Matrox Mural video-wall controller board that can capture four, full, 1,080p HD inputs and simultaneously drive four monitors at up to 2,048 x 1,080, while maintaining full RGB 888 image quality. Based on second-generation PCI Express technology, the controller board boasts a x16 bus interface, providing a 64GB/s bandwidth, while the customized, 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.
The new addition to the 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™ and Matrox PPX™ 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.
The Mura controller board is designed for Microsoft® Windows® 7 64-bit systems. Developer kits are available for select partners.
