Matrox Video Extio 3 KVMs, key for All Mobile Video (AMV) mobile units

All Mobile Video (AMV), a US company that operates a fleet of mobile units to service a wide range of events and formats in New York and New Jersey, has strengthened its ability to manage and control critical production equipment remotely with Extio 3 KVM extenders from Matrox Video.

AMV's mobile unit division, led by Paul Butkiewicz, faced challenges such as space and power limitations, given that the systems Traditional KVM They require considerable space and consume a lot of energy. It also required a solution that could quickly relocate workstations in the event of technical failures or reconfigurations, as well as provide real-time access to computers.

Joe LoGrasso, general director of 2110 Solutions and project consultant, identified Extinction 3 as the KVM IP extender that best suited AMV's needs. In their own words: “Extio 3 offered the adaptability and performance that AMV needed to modernize its mobile production workflows without having to overhaul its entire infrastructure.”

When deploying eight transmitters and eight receivers of Extio 3, AMV eliminated the need for dedicated KVM cabling by leveraging your existing network infrastructure; allowed remote access from any VLAN; simplified setup with a plug-and-play approach; It ensured accurate 4:2:2 chroma subsampling over Ethernet, and had the ability to perform a remote system reset if necessary.

Paul Butkiewicz highlighted among the main advantages of this implementation the “speed, efficiency, flexibility, ease of use and reliable technical support“Being able to take the devices out into the field while keeping the central computer in the truck – and having the keyboard and mouse thousands of miles away – makes things much easier for both engineers and operators. Nobody has to wait; just plug and play,” concludes the engineering director.
