Multi I/O Suite Modules Designed For Multi-Core Processors and Optimized For Gaming Software Environments

GTSource Gaming I/O Suite

The Connextion Series is a high-performance, cost-effective I/O and connectivity solution for gaming industry applications. This micro-controlled technology connects to a user’s selected off-the-shelf ITX or ATX motherboard to provide an extremely highly integrated gaming solution. This solution provides all the necessary I/O (inputs/outputs), needed for gaming NRTL and jurisdictional regulations without the need for any additional I/O boards or backplanes. With this solution the user can select the motherboard type that meets their requirements without compromising any of the benefits of a total embedded solution.
