Matrox Graphics validation
For a highly functional system, good electronic designs are important. However, all excellences will never count till they are thoroughly validated.
Under the cooperation plan between Matrox and Advantech, Advantech has sent all the prototypes of its video wall controllers to Matrox’s lab at their Montreal headquarter for validation and certification of compatibility and reliability.
Matrox validation means assurance that Advantech video wall controllers are electronically, mechanically and thermally compatible with Matrox’s graphic cards, can install these cards without mechanical interference, run them reliably and stably without getting overheated, and can support all the functionalities and merits to perfection. These guarantees are nowhere available if one purchases any ordinary PC from the market or any IPC without Matrox validation to run a video wall graphic card.
Advantech technical support
Advantech has established branches in many countries which can provide system assembly services to video wall system integrators to save their assembly and testing efforts, helping them speed up deliveries. And all customers using Advantech systems are entitled to Advantech’s 3-5-7 Services, which means: 3 Levels of Service, up to 5 Years of Extended Warranty, and 7 Years’ guaranteed Product Supply. Video wall system integrators and users of Matrox graphic cards running on Advantech platforms do not have to worry about maintenance and repair issues.
Alliance of inners
This partnership between Matrox and Advantech is a win-win strategy: on one hand, Matrox can leverage Advantech’s worldwide business and technical network to further expand its market share; on the other hand, with validation from Matrox, Advantech expects to plant flags in the burgeoning video wall market.
Conclusion
The advancement of video wall technology is changing the industrial landscape and the way we see and react to the world. In some critical application cases, such as electric utilities monitoring and military battlefields, system reliability and stability can be a matter of life and death, demanding the most powerful Matrox Mura MPX cards running on the most reliable Advantech Video Server (AVS) systems.
