Exhibitor Insight from NAB Show New York: Matrox Video's Showcase

At the NAB Show New York, Matrox Video is showcasing its latest offering, the Matrox Vion IP video gateway. This innovative product is designed to revolutionize video production workflows for professionals.

The Matrox Vion IP video gateway boasts an impressive array of capabilities, including encoding, transcoding, transcoding, transmuxing, scaling, and color space conversion. These features make it an invaluable tool for video professionals, enabling them to handle a wide variety of video formats with ease.

One of the key benefits of the Matrox Vion IP video gateway is its ability to encode a source suitable for both on-prem and cloud consumption. It can bridge islands of video productions and harmonize all incoming streams to a mezzanine format, making it ideal for the current trend of moving broadcast live production to the cloud or using generic COTS IT equipment on-prem.

Spiro Plagakis, a representative from Matrox, emphasized the benefits of IPMX and the gateway's ability to convert IPMX content for existing environments at the NAB Show New York. He also anticipates that the industry's focus on open standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 and IPMX will continue, with these standards being integrated into product roadmaps to ease broadcasters' transition to IP workflows.

The Matrox Vion IP video gateway can convert content from various IP video formats, including NDI6, NDIHX3, IPMX, ST 2110, SRT, RTSP, and others. Its powerful H.264 and H.265 encoding capabilities allow for the transcoding of low compression production formats like NDI6 or JPEG-XS over 2110-22 to cloud or internet-friendly formats over SRT.

In addition to the Matrox Vion IP video gateway, Matrox Video is also showcasing the Monarch EDGE encoder/decoder at the NAB Show New York. This device has been a standout performer for remote production and contribution, and its version 2.08 release includes new features such as reprogrammable I/O, encoder and decoder previews/thumbnails, SRT Connection bonding, and custom PIDs.

Broadcasters are looking to implement flexible, scalable, and cost-efficient workflows to meet modern media consumption habits and demand. The Matrox Vion IP video gateway offers a level of performance and flexibility in a compact form factor that is not common in other video IP gateways on the market.

The IP video gateway offers optional SDI/HDMI inputs and is ideal for demanding live production and collaboration applications. It features ultra-low latency video streaming, multi-channel 4K video support, edge computing capabilities, and seamless integration with various IP video standards, distinguishing it from other products on the market.

As the broadcast industry continues to shift towards IT- and IP-enabled technologies, the 2024 NAB Show New York is expected to feature a continued emphasis on these technologies. Matrox Video's products, such as the Matrox Vion IP video gateway and the Monarch EDGE encoder/decoder, are poised to play a significant role in this transition.
