Matrox recently announced the immediate availability of the next generation of
Matrox’s H.264 AV-over-IP portfolio, the Matrox® Maevex™ 6100 quad encoder
card. Delivering quad 4K input capture, the Maevex 6100 also offers multiple
encodes, variable bitrates, and a broad choice of protocols, allowing simultaneous
streaming and recording of four or more channels.
The flexible communication and powerful reach offered by the Maevex 6100 card—
and included Matrox PowerStream Plus™ network management software—make this
cutting-edge technology ideal for use in enterprise, government, education, digital
signage or anywhere AV-over-IP is required.
“Today’s communications are being re-shaped by the rapid adoption of networked
technologies,” said Ron Berty, business development manager, Matrox. “Traditional
AV content distribution, once available only via baseband signalling, now leverages
ever-expanding IP networks to push and pull content. With Maevex 6100, we’re
pushing forward exponential improvements in terms of streaming performance and
reach. Maevex 6100 is a game-changer in AV-over-IP communications, offering the
industry’s best price performance for high quality, video-over-IP streaming and
recording.’
The Matrox Maevex 6100 quad encoder card delivers industry-leading 4K/UHD and
Full HD multi-channel capture, encoding, streaming, and recording. Built on H.264,
the world’s most common codec, this plug-and-play solution fits seamlessly into
existing infrastructures and interoperates with any device on the network, ensuring
high-density content distribution and system scalability.
The bundled Matrox PowerStream Plus software application and the available API
provide flexible management of local or remote data, ensuring full reach and
control over the entire network. PowerStream Plus allows access to Matrox’s
powerful advanced hybrid streaming (AHS) features, including multiple source
capture, multiple picture-in-picture (PIP) and picture-by-picture (PBP) composite
options, and multi-protocol and multi-bitrate streaming. Designed to control all
Maevex products, including the Maevex 5100 Series of encoders and decoders,
PowerStream Plus allows for the fluid expansion of existing Maevex networks and
allows users to pick and choose the Maevex product which best suits their AV
streaming needs.
Matrox Maevex 6100 is a 3/4 length PCI Express® 3.0 x8 card with 4 Mini HDMI
(type C) inputs that allow the capture of up to four 4096×2160@30Hz sources.
Offering RTSP, RTP and MPEG2.TS streaming support with an onboard RJ45 network
connector (RTMP support to soon follow), the Maevex 6100 can encode a multitude
of H.264 streams at the same or varying bitrates. Capable of simultaneous
streaming and/or recording to shared network drives or network attached storage,
the Maevex 6100 features programmable start time, recording duration, maximum
file length, and file frequency.
The Matrox Maevex 6100 quad encoder card is available now. The Maevex 6100 will
be on display, along with Matrox’s complete line of AV-over-IP products, at ISE 2017
(Amsterdam, Feb 7-10, Stand #12-E38).
