Matrox® Video has announced the release of its new LUMA Series graphics cards, incorporating Intel Arc GPUs.
These cards, which were showcased at various major trade shows throughout the year, are specifically designed for digital signage and video wall applications in both mainstream and professional AV graphics markets. They meet the growing needs for managing multiple displays and increasing pixel densities, offering an optimal mix of size, reliability, and performance for various uses.
Mainstream Graphics Lineup The mainstream graphics range includes three models:
- LUMA A310: This is a unique, modern, low-profile fanless card. Being half-height, it’s perfectly suited for small-form-factor setups where silent operation is crucial.
- LUMA A310F: A single-slot, low-profile card, this model offers enhanced performance suitable for powering multi-monitor graphics in environments like retail spaces.
- LUMA A380: A full-sized, single-slot card that offers superior performance and more memory (6 GB GDDR6) compared to the other LUMA models.
All these models are equipped with four outputs, capable of driving four 5K60 monitors. They can also support up to 8K60 or 5K/120 displays, but with a limitation to two outputs in these cases.
Pro AV Market Solutions For the professional AV market, Matrox offers two LUMA Pro cards:
- LUMA A310FP: A low-profile card that provides exceptional display flexibility.
- LUMA A380P: A standard-height card that also offers extensive display capabilities.
These cards support various configurations, including up to two 8Kp60, two 5Kp120, or four 5Kp60 DisplayPort 2.1 monitors. They can be linked to create a synchronized video wall of up to 16 5Kp60 displays, using frame-lock cables for perfect synchronization.
Advanced Features The LUMA Pro cards come with advanced GPU-based H.264 and H.265 media codec engines, which set new standards in their category. These engines are complemented by Matrox Mura software libraries, allowing for the decoding of over 40 full-HD streams per card, marking a significant advancement in graphics card technology.
