Multi-Video Solution
The ClearCube multi-video solution provides a revolutionary way to multi-task and
process information. While the C/Port provides all the peripheral and USB
connections, the multiplexed video signal can be passed through to the Multi-Video
Expander (MVX) via a noise-limiting VGA connector cable.
Shown in Figure 6, the MVX is physically the same size as the standard C/Port and
can be stacked on top of a C/Port. The MVX distributes the individual video frames to
the appropriate output connectors. The two video outputs on the MVX are special,
high-density connectors that can each drive two monitors.
The MVX can be used with either the standard C/Port or the Fiber C/Port for
connection over copper or fiber optic cable (the MVX does not function with other
clients). The MVX requires that the PC blade have a multi-monitor graphics card
installed. The centralized ClearCube architecture combined with multi-video
capabilities results in the ideal solution for space-constrained trading floors and other
applications requiring multiple displays. For more information, see the C/Port and
Multi Video Expander User’s Guide.

Fiber Optic Extension System
The Fiber Optic Extension System adds fiber optic connectivity to the ClearCube
architecture via a pair of multi-mode fiber optic cables.
The system is compatible with ClearCube R4300 chassis, backpacks, and blades. It
securely extends user desktops from centralized PC blades to a distance as great as
2000 meters (6562 feet) over a pair of 62.5 micron multi-mode fibers. The system
consists of two components, the Fiber Transceiver and the Digital Fiber C/Port.
