Matrox: Ross XPression systems can now integrate Matrox Extio 3 KVMs

Offering IP-based KVM extension and switching support, Extio 3 enables broadcasters to centralise XPression Studio CG and graphics systems in a secure equipment room while users work on high-quality graphics productions from a remote 4K or multi-display station.

“Matrox Extio 3 KVMs with XPression graphics systems allow broadcasters to optimise remote workflows and operator efficiencies,” said Patrick Twomey, Ross Video’s director of XPression product marketing. “Securing XPression systems in a dedicated equipment room improves workspace ergonomics, while designers and editors still benefit from high-performance, productivity-enhancing stations that facilitate high-impact productions.”

Built from the ground up to be a 3D system, XPression Studio also supports 2D workflows –including clips – and seamlessly composites real-time 3D animation with media assets from the latest design applications. Available in 1RU, 2RU and 4RU form factors, XPression combines seamlessly with Extio 3 IP KVM extenders, allowing users to connect to and control server-room-based systems and remotely produce visually rich graphics required for news, sports, entertainment, branding, information channels, virtual sets, augmented reality and more.

Matrox Extio 3 IP KVM extenders deliver ultra-low-bitrate 4Kp60 4:4:4, dual 4Kp30 4:4:4, or quad 1080p60 4:4:4 video extension and switching support over a standard Gigabit Ethernet network. This KVM-over-IP technology enables users to access, share and manage one or more centralised servers and/or workstations – located in a different room, building, campus, or city – all from a single 4K/multi-display station, optimising operator uptime, collaboration and productivity. Extio 3 also offers advanced security features, ensuring secure and safe transmission of all audio, video, and USB signals over the network.

“Broadcast environments built on Ross XPression systems can now integrate Matrox Extio 3 KVMs to control their systems over LAN or private WAN,” said Francesco Scartozzi, VP of sales and business development, Broadcast and Media Group at Matrox Video. “Extio 3 empowers users with uncompromised, all-access XPression system, keyboard and touchscreen connectivity so that they can thrive in efficient and creative productions, even from a distance.”
