With support for one or two digital or analog monitors at resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 per monitor, 128MB of graphics memory, fan less operation and a Matrox-designed graphics chip, the Extio F1220 provides long-lasting and reliable operation. The Extio F1220 RGU is connected to a Matrox PCI or PCI-Express Extio adapter card in a computer, workstation or server slot via a standard multi-mode fiber-optic cable with Dual-LC connectors.
Key application areas include financial, insurance, and commodities trading; public information displays; digital signage; dispatch, security, and process control; sound recording studios; audio and video post-production; TV and radio broadcasting; and other high-reliability applications in enterprise, industrial, and government systems.
