Matrox Graphics highlights display partners

Matrox Graphics highlighted its various medical imaging partners at the 34th Annual Meeting & Exposition of the American Healthcare Radiology Administrators (AHRA) show in Las Vegas this week. Matrox display controller boards were shown in several booths, including CoActiv Medical Business, Fujifilm Medical Systems USA, RamSoft Inc. and Swissray International Inc. 

The company highlighted its low profile, single board PCI Express, the AuroraVX Series which is able to power up to three displays: one navigation console display, along with two twin imaging displays, from a single board.

Additionally, the Matrox MED Series of display controller boards are capable of a scope of display configurations for landscape and portrait modes ranging from two through five mega pixels, such as the MED2mp-DVI, MED3mp-DVI, MED4mp-DVI and MED5mp-DVI, and includes a variety of grayscale and color models with analog and digital display support.

Finally, Matrox's TheatreVUE Series has the ability to clone any portion of the primary display to an analog projector or large-screen display, making them ideal solutions for theatre-style classrooms and operating room environments. Matrox's OEM technology also is used in medical imaging solutions such as angiography, C-arm and mobile x-ray, cardiology, patient monitoring and ultrasound.
