Connect Further and Faster with Matrox® Extio 3
The Extio 3 4K KVM extender delivers high-quality 4K60 4:4:4 video at low bitrates over standard 1 GbE networks. With four DisplayPort™ connectors, it supports multi-display desktops and extends video, keyboard, mouse, USB 2.0, audio, and RS232 signals using a single pair of KVM transmitter and receiver units. Whether over LAN, WAN, or the internet, Extio 3 provides a flexible and scalable KVM matrix over IP for professional AV, broadcast, and control room environments.
Increase Operator Efficiency with Seamless Mouse Switching
Extio 3 lets operators view and control up to four source computers from any receiver unit using a single keyboard and mouse. Effortlessly switch control between systems by moving your mouse across a multi-screen desktop.
With Aggregator Mode, you can navigate from one desktop to the next simply by moving the mouse, streamlining multi-system operations. For even greater efficiency, the Tile View feature allows up to four separate systems to be displayed simultaneously on a single 4K or Full HD monitor, giving operators complete visibility and control.
Secure KVM Control
Extio 3 ensures sensitive data stays protected with built-in security features—no software installation is needed on the source systems. Key security features include:
-
AES Encryption – Encrypts all signals between transmitters and receivers for secure communication.
-
User Management – Integrates with Microsoft® Active Directory® for password and user access control.
-
Network Protection – Supports 802.1x port authentication and IGMPv3 to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting.
-
Activity Monitoring – Syslog support allows tracking and recording of KVM device and user activity.
Engineered for 24/7 Reliability
Extio 3 is designed for continuous, mission-critical operations. Its distributed architecture eliminates single points of failure by storing device settings and connectivity rules in each transmitter and receiver. For added resilience, Extio 3 units feature dual network interfaces that can be configured for link redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted operation in demanding 24/7 environments.

Matrox Extio 3 FAQ
What are the Matrox Extio 3 TX and RX units?
The Matrox Extio 3 is an IP KVM extender system built from a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX). The transmitter connects to a computer's video and USB, and the receiver connects to the remote monitors, keyboard, and mouse. The two communicate over a standard Gigabit Ethernet network.
What does CTX mean in Extio 3 part numbers?
CTX denotes the Extio 3 transmitter card. The XTO3-N3208CTX and XTO3-N3408CTX are PCIe cards installed inside the host computer, while the TX models are standalone appliances. Both transmitter types pair with the same RX receiver, so you choose based on whether the transmitter should live inside the computer.
What is the difference between the Extio 3 N3208 and N3408?
The N3208 is the dual-display model and the N3408 is the quad-display model. On the transmitter appliances, the N3208 has two DisplayPort inputs and the N3408 has four. The N3408 receiver also provides more USB ports for peripherals, six USB 2.0 Type-A against four on the N3208.
What network does the Extio 3 need?
The Extio 3 runs over standard Gigabit Ethernet using low-bitrate compression. Each receiver has an RJ45 network port and an SFP cage that accepts a copper or fiber-optic transceiver. This lets you use existing network infrastructure instead of dedicated point-to-point KVM cabling.
How far can the Extio 3 extend a computer?
Over Cat5e or Cat6 copper, each Extio 3 link reaches up to 100 metres. For longer runs, an SFP fiber-optic transceiver can be fitted. Because the system runs over IP, the transmitter and receiver can also sit anywhere on the same routed network.
What video resolutions does the Extio 3 support?
The Extio 3 N3408 extends up to four 1920x1080 @60Hz displays, two 2560x1600 @60Hz displays, or 4K UHD desktops from a single transmitter and receiver pair. The N3208 supports dual-display setups up to 2560x1600. Exact limits depend on the model and display configuration.
Does the Extio 3 have a single point of failure?
No. Extio 3 stores all device settings and connectivity rules in each transmitter and receiver, so no central server is needed to keep a connection running. Matrox Extio Central Manager is used to configure, manage, and monitor all units from one place.
Where can I buy Matrox Extio 3 in the UAE and Middle East?
