Two Powerful Solutions, One Standard of Excellence.

Extio 3 series

Matrox Extio 3

Multi-Monitor KVM over 1GbE LAN, WAN, & Internet

Connectors: Native DisplayPort and USB 2.0 support.

Network: Secure extension over 1GbE LAN, WAN, & Internet.

Quality: 4Kp60 4:4:4, dual 4Kp30, or up to four 1080p60 over IP at unprecedented low bitrates.

Key Feature: Aggregator Mode and Tile View (Control 4 systems with 1 keyboard & mouse).

Avio 2 series

Matrox Avio 2

IPMX / Open Standards-based IP KVM

Connectors: Native HDMI and USB 2.0 support.

Network: Supports 1GbE to 10GbE networks.

Quality: Uncompressed to Visually Lossless 4K60 4:4:4.

Key Feature: Based on open-standards such as IPMX, SMPTE ST 2110, and NMOS.



Matrox Extio 3 Series 

Maximize Operator Efficiency with Aggregator Mode 

It’s not just about extension; it’s about workspace optimization. Extio 3 reduces desktop clutter by allowing operators to view and control up to four different systems using just one keyboard and mouse with seamless mouse switching.

Secure Remote Operations: Built-in Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) protects sensitive data when extending signals between the transmitter and receiver.

Easy Integration: Runs on standard Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure for easy integrating into existing environments. 

Smart Control: Easily switch between multiple computer systems or monitor multiple feeds simultaneously—critical for rapid decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Copper vs. Fiber: Which cabling should I use for my KVM installation?

The choice depends on your building's current infrastructure and the required transmission distance. Matrox KVMs (Extio 3 and Avio 2) are designed to be additive solutions, allowing you to leverage your existing cabling today and transition to new technology at your own pace.

  • Existing / Older Buildings (Copper CATx): Leverage standard wiring for cost-effective runs up to 100m.
  • New Builds / Long-Range (Fiber Optic): Ideal for high-EMI (electromagnetic interference) areas or distances reaching up to 10km.

The Matrox Advantage: You don't have to choose hardware based on your cable type. Because Extio 3 and Avio 2 utilize modular SFP ports, the same device can support either Copper or Fiber simply by swapping the transceiver. This eliminates the need for a costly "rip and replace" overhaul when upgrading your facility.

Q: Can I manage my KVM network centrally?

Yes. Matrox KVM software provides a centralized interface to configure, manage, and monitor all Extio 3 and Avio 2 units on your network. This software allows administrators to easily route any host to any user station, manage security settings, and perform firmware updates across the entire installation from a single console.

Q: Why is Matrox KVM technology trusted for high-security environments?

Security is a core component of Matrox architecture, featuring robust AES encryption for all data transmission. Both the Avio 2 and Extio 3 lines offer TAA-compliant SKUs, meeting the necessary standards for government and defense procurement. By centralizing hardware in restricted rooms, these solutions prevent physical tampering and unauthorized data extraction via USB ports.
