May 26, 2011 - Matrox Graphics introduces Avio Series fiber optic KVM extenders for graphics intensive design and visualization applications. The KVM extender transmitter/receiver pair enables users to secure the host computer in a climate-controlled machine room by capturing the system’s I/O functionality and extending it up to 1000 meters over a single fiber optic cable.
Avio Series supports uncompressed dual single-link DVI or one dual-link DVI video—at full resolution and frame rate—keyboard, mouse, stereo analog audio, and multiple USB HID and USB 2.0 peripherals, while making available a secondary user to access the host computer from the transmitter unit.
Avio’s flexible design is compatible with Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux/Unix operating systems, allowing IT departments to standardize on one solution for enterprise-wide deployments.

- Includes multiple USB HID ports for keyboard, mouse, and other HID devices
- Transparent USB 2.0 support for high speed USB peripherals (up to 480Mbps)
- DDC compliant and advanced EDID management ensure transparent communication between the system and the displays attached to the receiver unit
- Easy to deploy: does not require any driver or software installation and is cross-platform compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix systems
