The 2024 NAB Show will serve as a platform for Matrox Video to demonstrate its commitment to driving innovation and empowering media professionals with cutting-edge solutions.
Matrox Video is set to showcase its latest advancements at the 2024 NAB Show in Las Vegas from April 13 to April 17. The event will provide a platform for product demonstrations and customer stories, highlighting how Matrox Video aids broadcasters, live event producers, developers, and manufacturers in implementing and enhancing their IP- and IT-based media workflows.
The company’s booth will feature products and solutions catering to various aspects of media workflows, including remote production (REMI), contribution, distribution, operations and control, and Tier 1 live production in the cloud. Matrox Video will also present its latest innovations for SMPTE ST 2110 and IPMX, emphasising its commitment to driving industry transformation.
“With over 45 years serving as a leading provider to the biggest brands in the most demanding applications, Matrox Video has led industry transitions from analogue video to SDI and ST 2110/IPMX and is uniquely positioned to deliver the IP- and IT-based workflows powering production today,” said Francesco Scartozzi, Vice President of Sales and Business Development for the Broadcast and Media Group at Matrox Video. “Our NAB lineup addresses that shift, and we’ll demonstrate practical media-over-IP applications that help attendees accelerate their workflows and improve their operations.”
Among the products to be showcased are the Matrox Monarch EDGE encoder and decoder series, renowned for its advanced features and versatility in backhaul, contribution, video transport, and distribution workflows. The upcoming 2.07 release introduces new capabilities such as HDR and Dolby audio support, VANC metadata for closed captions, SCTE-104 messaging for ad insertion, and SRT Stream IDs for easier stream routing. A GlobalM pod at the Matrox Video booth will showcase cloud-based distribution workflows featuring Monarch EDGE.
Matrox ConvertIP, another highlight, bridges traditional baseband and IP-based video workflows, offering daisy-chain capabilities and seamless integration with various ST 2110 workflows. Additionally, Matrox ORIGIN provides broadcasters and live content providers with a scalable, flexible, cloud- and COTS-based live production solution on an opex model.
Matrox ORIGIN offers broadcasters and live content providers, developers, and solution providers a scalable, flexible, cloud- and COTS-based live production solution on an opex model. Built on cloud-native IT architecture, Matrox ORIGIN redefines live production with an open, OPEX-based framework free of traditional clock-based video compromises, enabling a workflow comprising best-of-breed applications. Matrox ORIGIN leads the industry’s shift to IT-based, software-defined infrastructure.
Matrox Extio 3 IP KVM extenders and the KMLYNC KM switch enable innovative workflows and flexible KVM matrix system design over IP, boosting productivity and improving operator workspaces for media production. Extio 3 IP KVM extenders provide low-bit-rate, glitch-free 4Kp60 4:4:4 and quad 1080p60 4:4:4 video extension and switching over 1GbE LAN, WAN, or internet and feature advanced multiview capabilities, multisystem control with seamless mouse switching, and enhanced security with encryption, as well as user- and device-authentication features.
The latest updates to the Matrox DSX SDK offer Ultra-Low Latency for both DSX LE5 and X.mio5 ST 2110 NIC and 12G SDI I/O cards. The ULL feature enables sub-field or sub-frame video transfer at inputs and outputs, allowing low latency broadcast applications to achieve a minimum delay of 1-frame for interlaced video and 2-frame for progressive video. The new “large canvas” feature enabled on X.mio5 ST 2110 cards allows customisable regions of interest from a large canvas to be output as multi-channel 1080P and UHD resolutions for flexible and advanced multi-screen display workflows. DSX SDK 10.5 also supports ST 2110-22 with JPEG-XS encoding and decoding and adds native support for AWS S3 with the Flex Reader and Writer for cloud-based applications.
This new 100 GbE ST 2110 network card is designed for high-performance media environments including broadcast and virtual production. Featuring dual QSFP 28 connectors, this PCIe Gen 4 x 8 card offers up to eight channels of UHD@p60 or two channels of 8Kp60 input and output, all with ST 2022-7 redundancy. The card has hardware-based PTP to provide nanosecond-range ST 2059-2 accuracy and offloads all ST 2110 packet processing from the CPU, which is essential for high-density and high-resolution applications. This card also offers ultra-low latency to minimize in-to-out latency for multichannel 4K and 8K applications.
Marwan Al-Habbal, product manager for Matrox ORIGIN, will present “Innovating Live Productions” as part of the BEIT conference, exploring agile software production pipelines in complete IT environments.
