Matrox Video has officially entered the IP video gateway market with the introduction of Matrox Vion, a high-density IP video gateway, and a new update for the Matrox ConvertIP DSH SMPTE ST 2110 and IPMX transmitter/receiver.
Vion is a compact, IT-inspired gateway designed to excel in both local and cloud-based IP video gateway workflows. Vion supports real-time encoding, decoding, transcoding, and conversion across multiple compressed and baseband formats, including H.264/HEVC, JPEG-XS, ST 2110, IPMX, and NDI, addressing the challenges of interoperability between diverse applications across broadcast and ProAV workflows.
Vion is available in two versions, EX and NX, with the EX model offering additional SDI and HDMI inputs. Key benefits include: efficiently converting, transcoding, transmuxing, transrating, and transceiving compressed IP signals over IP networks to ensure seamless media distribution; HEVC 4:4:4 color codec delivers desktop content making it ideal for color-sensitive applications; ensuring compatibility across devices and future-proof your infrastructure with support for ST 2110-22, IPMX, and JPEG XS.; facilitating NDI media and protocol conversion, including seamless conversion between NDI and SRT, as well as NDI and IPMX; and more.
The upcoming update for ConvertIP DSH introduces an IP-to-IP bridging feature, enabling conversion between uncompressed and compressed formats such as ST 2110-20, ST 2110-22, and IPMX. With this update, ConvertIP DSH becomes an even more versatile solution for IP video conversion, enhancing workflow flexibility.
