Matrox has just announced that its range of products to become compatible MX02 nursing Thunderbolt, Intel's technology is currently only used in the MacBook Pro from Apple. Thunderbolt is a new bus that can carry 4 PCI-Express (10 gigabits / s) in a conventional copper cable, using a Mini DisplayPort connector.
The technology has potential, but there is currently no device available. Matrox will therefore propose a connection Thunderbolt MX02 its family, either directly in the box to prospective buyers or as an option for those who already have an MX02 device. The devices are dedicated to video processing packages that combine maps / O chips that speed with encoding and decoding of H.264.
The passage in Thunderbolt is simple and interesting for Matrox: Currently, the devices connect to PCI Express computers. With either a PCI-Express 1x, either with ExpressCard/34 card. Thunderbolt switch is quite simple in the sense that it is "sufficient" to multiplex the signal to move it into the cable Thunderbolt, without actual conversion: the internal protocol is the PCI-Express.
In addition, Thunderbolt is a priori more universal: Apple should announce Thunderbolt iMac and MacBook Pro 13 and 15 inches are already compatible, while the use of ExpressCard devices limit MX02 17-inch MacBook Pro. It remains to see the price of the option and the actual release date.
