Matrox Iris GT smart camera announced

matrox irisgt 381x480If you’re interested in getting a new camera, then you might want to take a moment to consider the Matrox Iris GT “smart camera.” That is, if you require a bit more from your digital imaging device than the norm. As the name suggests, this camera is not your ordinary device and actually has an Intel Atom processor inside!

In case you thought Atom processors were reserved for netbooks, think again. This Matrox camera has a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 256MB of RAM, 1GB of flash storage and many a connection port. It really takes the whole idea of a camera up a notch, huh?

Interestingly enough, this is actually one of the first devices an Atom processor has powered that’s not a netbook. It also uses Windows CE 6.0 and lets you “design machine vision applications” without the need for programming. In the end, you’ll be able to configure the camera to read barcodes, recognize patterns and more. The Matrox Iris GT will be available in the first quarter of next year.

In case you didn’t know, the TripleHead2Go and DualHead2Go are display adapters that multiply the number of monitors you can drive by taking a single video output from your computer and splitting it into 3 or 2 more displays respectively. With this new software utility Mac users can now make better use of these pieces of hardware, especially with the digital editions of these GXMs.

Matrox banishes your noisy PC

I’m sure there are people out there reading this who have held off from buying a KVM switch because, frankly, they’re a bit dodgy.  It only takes one missed switching-keypress and an instinctive jab at the space bar to inadvertently close an important programme before you start doubting the reliability of most consumer models, and when you add in the limitations in range of both USB and PS/2 cabling, they can be more of a liability than a boon in mission-critical environments such as trading floors, security control and AV production.  That’s where high-end Remote Graphics Units (RGU) step in, and of all the brands one of the most well-known and trusted is graphics specialist Matrox.

So when Matrox release a new one, people with important keypresses to be made take notice; I bet they’ll be all over this.  The F1220 lets you extend one or two displays, audio, two IEEE 1394 FireWire ports, and up to six USB devices, including keyboard and mouse, by up to 820 feet (250 meters), and supports both monitors running at up to 1920 x 1200 thanks to the in-built 128mb of graphics memory.

New Mac Compatible Matrox DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go

By Rue Liu on Friday, Dec 1st 2006 No Comments

So you want to be hip like the other geeksters, gamers, and graphicteers out there with multi-monitor setups but you cant quite afford that ultimate video card just yet, especially after you handed over your savings for the 2 extra flat screens. Then its time to turn to the Graphics eXpansion Modules (GXM) from Matrox that are external devices that let you connect up to three existing monitors for under $300. And what’s even better is that Matrox has just upgraded their DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go to be compatible with select Macs.

So, if you have one of the latest Macs, you can now connect up to three screens. Why two if you can do three, right? And as you can see from the picture above, you can also turn a notebook such as your Macbook into a visually powerful desktop system with two extra monitors by using the Matrox modules.
