Icron's Powerful Maverick KVM Extension Platform to be Showcased by intoPIX at ISE 2018 Show in Amsterdam

BURNABY, British Columbia , January 25, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Icron Technologies Corporation, a leader in USB and video extension technology, and intoPIX, an innovative provider of video compression technology, announced today that intoPIX will showcase a live demonstration of Icron’s Maverick KVM platform with ExtremeUSB-C™ extension technology during the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2018 show at the RAI Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Feb. 6-9.

The innovative Maverick KVM platform is the world’s first integrated extension solution combining Icron’s proprietary ExtremeUSB-C™ USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 2.0/1.1 extension technology with TICO lightweight video compression from technology partner intoPIX. TICO enables 10 Gbps extension of Ultra High Definition (UHD) 4Kp60 4:4:4 video and all-type USB peripherals over a single CAT 6a cable up to 100 meters.

Our TICO technology pushes the boundaries of video compression to provide state-of-the-art lossless 4Kp60 video quality, without giving in on latency. Coupling TICO with ExtremeUSB-C technology turns Icron's Maverick platform into a unique and powerful 4K + USB 3.1 extension solution specifically designed for ProAV, broadcast, medical and industrial applications.
