Matrox Maevex MGX Series IPMX-ready video encoders and decoders with USB support, delivers 4K60 AV-over-IP distribution at one twentieth the bitrate of standard ProAV codecs.
Matrox Maevex MGX Series, a new lineup of IPMX-ready video encoders and decoders with USB support, is engineered to deliver 4K60 AV-over-IP distribution at one twentieth the bitrate of standard ProAV codecs, reducing network complexity and cost.
Designed for enterprise AV, control rooms and medical environments where network efficiency is critical, the Maevex MGX Series enables organisations to preserve all of the original image quality and achieve ultra-low-latency performance while using much less bandwidth. This helps reduce network congestion, simplifies infrastructure, enables 20x the streaming capacity on the same network, and avoids network upgrades.
The Maevex MGX Series brings a high degree of flexibility to AV-over-IP deployments. It supports both IPMX and Matrox IQ Mode (high compression, low latency), which can be used independently or simultaneously to meet different workflow requirements. When used between compatible Matrox Video devices, Matrox IQ Mode enables latency as low as one frame.
Single Input to Multiple Outputs and Formats
With Maevex MGX, a single input can be streamed simultaneously to multiple outputs and formats, including IPMX, RTSP, MPEG-TS and SRT, enabling versatile distribution and simplified system design. Single- and dual-channel models, including the Maevex MGX E1 and E2 encoders and Maevex MGX D1 and D2 decoders, make deployment more flexible. Multiview and compositing capabilities are available on the Maevex MGX E2, D1 and D2, enabling users to combine and manage multiple sources on both the encoding and decoding sides.
Image quality and responsiveness remain central across all use cases. The Maevex MGX Series supports H.265 4:4:4 for high-fidelity 4K60 video with accurate colour reproduction and fine detail, while also supporting H.265 4:2:0 and H.264 4:2:0 to accommodate a broad range of AV-over-IP workflows and network requirements. Ultra-low-latency copntributes to real-time interaction and precise control in demanding environments.
USB Support
Integrated USB support for keyboard, mouse and webcam connectivity extends the MGX Series beyond traditional streaming. It enables remote workstation access, desktop capture and interactive collaboration workflows, allowing users to not only distribute content but also interact with it in real-time.
“For years, the ProAV industry has accepted that AV-over-IP deployments require tradeoffs between image quality, latency and bandwidth,” said Ron Berty, Business Development Manager at Matrox Video. “The Maevex MGX Series represents a significant shift in how organizations can approach AV-over-IP infrastructure. It gives customers the flexibility to design the interoperable systems they want without accepting limitations in quality, latency or bandwidth.” video.matrox.com
