Matrox Adds More H.264 4:2:2 10 Bit Codec Cards

Matrox Video today unveiled two new additions to the M264 family of developer products, the M264 S2 and the M264 S3. With the capability for up to three channels of 4K XAVC encoding/decoding in a single slot card, the M264 family now enables OEMs to provide multi-channel 4K production servers on a PC platform.

The 3/4 length PCI Express Gen3 x16 Matrox M264 S2 and S3 provide an H.264 quality encode/decode up to three streams of 4Kp60 at 4:2:2 10-bit, 30 streams of HD long GOP at 4:2:2 10-bit or 48 streams of HD at 4:2:0 8-bit. .

With onboard multi-channel, motion-adaptive deinterlacing, and up/down/cross scaling, the M264 family can repurpose content into any resolution before encoding or after decoding, particularly beneficial for OTT workflows. Specifically designed for high-density encoding/decoding (Baseline Profile to High 10 Intra Profile up to Level 5.2), M264 cards provide the highest possible quality at the lowest power per stream (<1.5 W per HD stream).

Matrox M264 S2 and S3 will ship next month. Here are all the detailed specs.
