MATROX EXTIO N3408 IP KVM TRANSMITTER CARD

Exceptional Remote Performance At Low Bitrate
Matrox® Extio N3408 are the world’s first IP KVM extenders to deliver 4Kp60 4:4:4 UHD performance or quad-monitor capabilities over standard Gigabit Ethernet at unprecedented low bitrates. Extio N3408 can be configured as a point-to-point or networked KVM extender, delivering multiple video, keyboard, mouse, USB 2.0, and audio signals using a single fiber optic or copper cable. Ready compatibility with standard network switches significantly diminishes the total cost of ownership to deliver a scalable KVM matrix switching solution. Aggregated and seamless control of multiple systems from a remote display station with a single keyboard and mouse set leads to efficient operations and increased user productivity.

Matrox KVM extenders centralize hardware in a climate-controlled server room to increase security, protect systems against environmental hazards, and reduce system noise and heat emissions. The Matrox Extio 3 IP KVM extender grants seamless remote access to these secured systems, plus the added benefit of smart control over the IP network. This IP KVM extender is ideally suited for industrial automation and control, healthcare, transportation, military, defense, government, broadcasting, and post-production industries and applications.

Superior Performance
Extio N3408 is the world’s first 4K60 4:4:4 IP KVM extender, providing support for ultra-high resolution applications (3840x2160 @60Hz) at unprecedented low bitrates. Featuring four DisplayPort™ connectors, Extio N3408 also extends multi-display desktops (for example 4x 1920x1080 @60Hz, 2x 3840x2160 @30Hz or 2x 2560x1600 @60Hz) with a single pair of transmitter and receiver devices. Extio 3’s unique design delivers pristine image quality, smooth video playback, and excellent keyboard and mouse responsiveness at a distance.

Flexible operation
Matrox KVM extenders are designed to support evolving needs: whether deployed as point-to-point extenders or as IP KVM, these appliances offer the flexibility to adapt installations as demands change. Extio 3 extenders support one-to-one, many-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many configurations to drive connectivity needs. With the power to create flexible, scalable and secure KVM matrix-routing using standard network switches, the Extio 3 helps future proof investments; installations can be expanded with confidence and without costly upgrades.

Efficient multi-system control
With Aggregator Mode, you can view and operate multiple source computer systems from any Extio receiver unit located at a remote multi-display station, and control them with a single keyboard and mouse set. The 'Tile view' feature offers an even more efficient way to control multiple systems from a single remote workspace, by displaying up to four separate systems on one 4K monitor. By moving the mouse across a multi-screen desktop, control shifts seamlessly from one target source system to another.

Further reach
Built on a highly optimized, ultra-low-bitrate encoding platform, Extio 3 enables KVM extension and switching applications over LAN, WAN, or Internet. The high-performance IP KVM extender allows users to readily access any system—located at home or in the workplace—for secure collaborative workflows between teams in different locations.

Ease of integration
With Extio 3’s industry-leading technology, users can leverage existing IT networking equipment and standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure for seamless deployment and operations, extending up to four video signals using a single copper or fiber optic cable to reduce installation costs. Matrox Extio 3 KVM extenders fit readily into certified systems with plug and play deployment; there is no need to install additional software. Extio 3 IP KVM transmitter units are designed to optimize available space, and come either as a rack-mountable appliance or an integrated PCIe® card.

Smart control
Extio Central Manager is an intuitive, easy-to-use software to remotely configure, manage, and monitor all Extio 3 units from a central location on the network. An on-screen display (OSD) on Extio 3 receiver appliances allow operators to conveniently preview all authorized computer desktops—readily identifiable via thumbnail previews—to instantly access and switch between multiple systems.

High availability
Extio 3 includes several essential features that help organizations to build redundancy and fault tolerance into their installations. Supporting a distributed model of operation, Extio 3 removes single point of failure by storing all device settings and connectivity rules in each transmitter and receiver unit. Extio 3 appliances also feature two network interface ports that are configurable for link redundancy. Through its patented technology, Extio 3 intelligently adjusts its internal processing parameters to deliver a resilient KVM system that minimizes downtime, favoring continuous operation.

Optimized collaboration
Access and control systems from any remote location on the IP network—and maximize information flow for improved collaboration and decision making. Display Extio 3 video streams on a central video wall powered by Matrox Mura IPX Series for effective visualization. Make use of the proxy stream—a dedicated secondary video stream compatible with virtually all H.264 software and hardware decoders—for recording part of the desktop on a network storage device or sharing a screen with other user stations, video walls, and mobile devices.

Enhanced KVM security & monitoring
Matrox Extio 3 Series safeguards installations by using HTTPs, a secure communication protocol for control commands over the network. Extio 3 encrypts the transmitted AV and USB signals and protects the desktop content. Extio 3 also easily integrates with Microsoft® Active Directory® services and allows IT managers to use existing Active Directory accounts for user authorization and authentication. Compatible with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Extio 3 devices can be monitored through third-party network management software.

Matrox Extio Central Manager software
Secure, centralized management of all networked Extio 3 IP KVM extenders is overseen through Matrox Extio Central Manager, an easy-to-use software to configure, manage, and monitor Extio 3 transmitter and receiver units. Extio Central Manager delivers smart control over the network, with an intuitive interface that facilitates discovery of networked Extio units, manages connections, and offers options to setup device parameters. Available through a separate download, Extio Central Manager works with all networked Extio devices to provide smart control of IP KVM installations. 

KVM application markets
Matrox Extio 3 IP KVM extenders are a perfect fit for extension and switching applications in a wide range of markets. Whether the need is to extend a single high resolution 4Kp60 4:4:4 video signal, or multiple Full HD 1080p60 4:4:4 videos; or extend highly secure data over fiber optic or copper cabling; and where extremely reliable applications with round the clock availability is essential, Extio 3 is ideal. Extio 3 IP KVM extender’s ready compatibility with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) network switches provides for easily scalable, secure, and cost-effective matrix switching solutions that enable collaborative work environments, where multiple users from different locations can access multiple systems simultaneously. All this on a one Gigabit Ethernet network, using just 5% of the bandwidth required by most other IP KVM products.
