Matrox Video has introduced Unreal Engine plug-in support for its DSX LE5, DSX LE6, and X.mio5 12G SDI and SMPTE ST 2110 network interface cards (NICs). The update allows OEMs and system integrators to build high-resolution, broadcast-grade virtual production and virtual studio workflows using Unreal Engine 5.5 in both Windows and Linux environments.

The company’s ST 2110 NICs offer 10/25 GbE and 100 GbE connectivity and can handle up to eight UHD or two 8K input/output channels. Designed for high-performance media workflows, these cards meet the precision timing requirements of PTP (Precision Time Protocol) and support real-time IP video transport needed for motion graphics and virtual production.

The new Unreal Engine plug-in supports essential in-camera visual effects (ICVFX) workflows, including nDisplay and Inner Frustum Split, enabling scalable and photorealistic environments for LED wall production.

For SDI workflows, Matrox Video’s 12G SDI NICs support up to 12 reconfigurable SDI inputs and outputs — up to four 12G inputs, four 12G outputs and four reconfigurable 3G SDI I/Os. Both the SDI and ST 2110 cards include a built-in motion-adaptive de-interlacer to deliver progressive video to Unreal Engine from interlaced sources, improving image quality for live and recorded content.

The plug-in is compatible with a wide range of NVIDIA and AMD systems, offering customers flexibility in building or scaling their virtual production infrastructure. Matrox Video also provides entry-level hardware options, offering a cost-effective path for studios moving to open-standards-based SDI and AV-over-IP ST 2110 workflows.
