Matrox display wall products work in numerous non-validated, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) motherboards and systems, but only a select few of these off-the-shelf solutions can be thoroughly tested, verified, and validated by Matrox. Choosing a validated platform guarantees a high-quality solution to drive your display wall system.

Matrox warranty. Mura IPX Series – The Mura IPX Series operating temperature is 0 to 45 ºC. When a Mura IPX Series card is installed in a properly ventilated system, the temperature of the Mura IPX Series card recorded by the Matrox IPX Utility tool or APIs must never exceed 100 ºC.
(CPU, hard disk drives, etc.). For example, if the system configuration requires 15A from the +12V supply with no Matrox cards installed, once the Matrox cards are installed the power supply must be capable of providing 15A + 23.2A (or 39A, rounding up) on the +12V rail for adequate power supply.
Matrox D-Series and Mura IPX Series based systems System architecture is an important factor in determining overall capture/display performance with Matrox D-Series and Matrox Mura IPX based systems. While the input resolutions and formats must be taken into account, the system bus-level architecture also plays an important role in determining how to optimize the system to obtain the best possible performance.

Note: Any combination of data streams being transferred through a given switch that results in the total bandwidth exceeding 8 GB/s will result in reduced system performance (stuttering playback and reduced frame rates). Matrox Display Wall – System Builder’s Guide...
A word about system architecture and performance One factor that should be taken into account when using Matrox D-Series and Mura-IPX is that in order to improve performance, transfers are performed using system memory, rather than peer-to-peer transfers. In other words, transferring graphical or video data from a capture card to a display source involves first transferring the data to system memory and then from system memory to the display adapter.
Page 85
In such cases, knowledge of the capabilities of the motherboard is essential to properly configure the system so as to maximize the overall performance. Matrox Display Wall – System Builder’s Guide...
