Matrox Unveils Single-Slot Graphics Card To Drive Nine Displays For 3×3 Video Walls
Gail Chiasson, North American Editor
Montreal-based Matrox Graphics Inc. has unveiled what it believes it the world’s first single-slot, nine-output graphics card that supports nine 1920×1080 displays at 60Hz.
The Matrox C900, the latest card in the popular Matrox C-Series line of multi-monitor graphics cards, will be demonstrated for the first time at #ise2016 at stand 11-F48.
A special-purpose graphics card designed to power 3×3 and 9×1 video walls, Matrox C900’s single-slot form factor and low power consumption (75W) offer digital signage and video wall vendors simpler integration and a lower cost of ownership. Its support for stretched desktop across all nine synchronized outputs lets users run any application full screen across a 3×3 video wall.
This makes the card ideal for signage installations in retail, corporate, entertainment and hospitality environments as well as control room video wall solutions in security, process control and transportation.
Matrox PowerDesk desktop management software for Windows is included with C900 to give users a comprehensive set of tools, including bezel management and EDID management, to easily configure and manage their multi-display setups. Advanced APIs are available to developers and OEMs to quickly build custom interfaces and applications.
“Three-by-three configurations are the sweet spot for many digital signage installations and control room video walls,” says Caroline Injoyan, business development manager, Matrox Graphics. “Now with C900, for the first time, nine Full HD displays can be driven from a single-slot card and system integrators can easily offer a turnkey solution to power three-by-three video walls. They also benefit from the premium technical assistance, long product life cycles and reliability that Matrox is known for.”
Matrox C900 will be available in Q2 2016.
