January 27, 2017

Advantech and Matrox Graphics have expanded their technology partnership to deliver more video wall solutions. Advantech's 4K video wall solution, the DS-980, is now guaranteed to work with Matroc's C-Series multi-display video cards, according to a press release.

The DS-980 is designed to stream content up to six displays with a resolution of 4096 x 2160. Four of its graphic outputs are powered by Matrox's C420 graphics card, according to the release.

"We've just concluded a test of the Matrox C420, in combination with our newest DS-980 platform, and we're very happy with the results. This high-quality product supports up to six monitors and can function as a video wall, all at a very competitive price," Jeroen Baerents, business development manager of Advantech Europe, said in the release. "Collaboration with Matrox, a highly valued and recognized player in the signage market, is an important step for us into the video wall market. We expect to test more solutions from Matrox in the near future."

This video wall solution allows companies to access faster video streaming, better stability and flexibility, according to the release.

"Matrox products offer tried and tested advantages such as flexibility, interoperability and reliability. The four-output Matrox C420 card is a high-performance addition to any system, and with the Advantech DS-980, we're putting more processing power into the hands of many more customers," Cecilia Wills, UK country manager, Matrox, said in the release. "This validation expands a history of successful cooperation between Matrox and Advantech beyond our existing relationship—the AVS series of Advantech video wall controllers based on Matrox Mura capture cards."
