The Avio F120 transmitter and receiver pair extends two single-link DVI video, keyboard, mouse, audio and USB HID devices from the host system by up to 2,000 m (6,562 ft) using a single duplex LC-LC fiber-optic cable. The uncompressed fiber-optic transmission maintains graphics performance and full frame-rate HD video playback with no latency at the remote station, while the computer remains safely secured in a climate-controlled machine room for enhanced security and easier IT maintenance. Furthermore, the Avio F120’s system-agnostic design and wide-ranging OS compatibility facilitate true plug-and-play deployment in industrial process control, oil and gas, 3D design and visualization, government, and military environments. Avio F120 can separate the system’s I/O functionality from the system to reliably meet distance, security, safety, multi-display, and performance requirements, according to the company. It uses just one fiber-optic cable to transmit all I/O signals, simplifying installation.

Additional Matrox Avio F120 features:
- Extends two single-link DVI video with maximum resolutions of 1920x1200 per display or one dual-link DVI video at 2560x1600
- Supports maximum distances of 300 m (984 ft) in Multi-mode and 2000 m (6,562 ft) in Single-mode via an optional upgrade
- Includes USB or PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors, and multiple USB HID ports
- Enables a secondary user on the transmitter unit to access the host computer for maintenance or to share the remote desktop on a collaborative video wall
- DDC compliance and advanced EDID management for reliable communication between the remote displays and host system
- Compatible with Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X operating systems
