Portwell Launches 19” RS4U‑MTRX‑1101 System for High‑Performance Video Wall Applications

Portwell announces its high‑performance 19” System RS4U‑MTRX‑1101, built around a custom 19” rack cooled by three fans. The PICMG 1.3 backplane and a full‑size single‑board computer deliver robust computing power and extensive expansion, offering up to ten PCIe x16 slots. A redundant 950‑W power supply guarantees 24/7 reliability.

Designed with application focus, the RS4U‑MTRX‑1101 comes pre‑configured to host Matrox MPX and IPX graphics cards. A high‑performance PCIe switch on the backplane, paired with the ROBO‑8113VG2AR SBC, provides full PCIe x16 bandwidth to all ten extension slots.

The ROBO‑8113VG2AR family of PICMG 1.3 SBCs supports the latest 7th and 6th‑generation Intel Core i7, i5, and i3 processors, as well as the Intel Xeon E3‑1200 v5 line. Xeon chips feature Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 and Hyper‑Threading, delivering superior performance and efficiency. The SBC accommodates Intel C236 and Q170 chipsets, enabling up to 32 GB DDR4 ECC or non‑ECC memory.

Built for large‑scale video wall deployments—up to 40 displays—the RS4U‑MTRX‑1101 offers high compute throughput and reliable operation. Pre‑installed with Windows 10 (or Windows 7 for legacy Matrox IPX support), the system requires only the appropriate Matrox MPX or IPX cards, enabling integrators to concentrate on content delivery rather than platform setup. This approach reduces development time and simplifies validation and verification.
