Multi-Video Expander
The ClearCube Multi-Video Expander (MVX) 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 MVX via a noise-limiting VGA connector cable. 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 I/Ports). The MVX requires that
the PC blade have a multi-monitor graphics card and ClearCube-customized NVIDIA video
drivers 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.
Shown in Figure 3 on this page, the MVX is physically the same size as the standard C/Port
and can be stacked on top of a C/Port.
The ClearCube multi-video solution offers these features:
•
Support for as many as four displays over a single C/Port cable or 62.5 micron,
multi-mode fiber
• NVIDIA-based graphics adapter for PC blade
• ClearView™ video driver/GUI based on NVIDIA’s award-winning nView video driver
• Analog and digital output (DVI) that provides resolution as high as 1280 x 1024 on each
monitor
