Matrox Avio F120 KVM Switch 4096 x 2160

Matrox Avio F120 KVM Console

The Matrox Avio F120 is a wired KVM console extender that transmits video up to 4096 x 2160 resolution over long distances. It supports WQXGA graphic mode and provides five USB ports alongside two PS/2 ports for keyboard and mouse connectivity. Two DVI ports handle the video link between the transmitter and receiver units. This unit suits operators who need to place a workstation far from the computer in industrial or broadcast environments.

Replacing direct-cable KVM setups

The Avio F120 replaces standard KVM cables that limit workstation placement to a few metres. The jump is worth it when the computer must sit in a secure rack room while the operator console operates up to 13123.36 ft away over dedicated cabling. It also consolidates USB and PS/2 peripherals into a single extended link. Buyers who need only short-range switching or IP-based remote access will not benefit from this dedicated hardware extender.

DVI and distance constraints

Video transport relies on DVI connectivity, so the maximum 4096 x 2160 resolution is bound by the DVI standard used in the link. The 13123.36 ft operating distance requires the specified cabling infrastructure and does not apply to generic twisted-pair or fibre runs. USB and PS/2 signals share the same extension path, so peripheral bandwidth and latency follow the same distance envelope. Users requiring HDMI, DisplayPort or network-based KVM-over-IP cannot use this console extender.
