Matrox, the company known to let you plug lots of monitors with a single graphics card, announced at NAB 2011, that they will be the first company to market peripherals designed with Thunderbolt in mind. Yes, I can smell some DisplayPort with Thunderbolt combo port products coming this way.

The company mentioned that all the latest models of its MXO2 family of video I/O boxes will be shipping with Thunderbolt on board, while budding film makers using the current gen MXO2 devices will be able to push 10Gb worth of pixels per second by picking up an adapter.

Matrox didn’t announce a firm release date or price, though we expect it will fall in line with the current products, which range from $449 up to almost $2,400 for the MXO2 Rack with Matrox Max. Yes, this is not the type of products for average Joes at the mamak, but if you’re those types of hippies that must have the latest and greatest, I’d just though that you might be interested.
