Matrox Video entered the IP video gateway market with the introduction of Matrox Vion, an IP video gateway for the Matrox ConvertIP DSH SMPTE ST 2110 and IPMX transmitter/receiver. Together, these help address the growing complexity of IP video workflows in ProAV and broadcast environments. Vion is a compact, IT-inspired gateway designed to excel in both local and cloud-based IP video gateway workflows. Vion supports real-time encoding, decoding, transcoding and conversion across multiple compressed and baseband formats, including H.264/HEVC, JPEG-XS, ST 2110, IPMX and NDI, addressing the challenges of interoperability between diverse applications across broadcast and ProAV workflows.
Here’s a video we shot of it this summer:
Vion is available in two versions, EX and NX, with the EX model offering additional SDI and HDMI inputs. Both include:
- Convert, transcode, transmux, transrate and transceive compressed IP signals over IP networks to ensure seamless media distribution.
- HEVC 4:4:4 color codec to deliver desktop content making it ideal for color-sensitive applications.
- Support for ST 2110-22, IPMX and JPEG XS.
- Facilitate NDI media and protocol conversion, including conversion between NDI and SRT, as well as NDI and IPMX.
- Instantly preview content locally with HDMI and audio outputs.
- Deliver multiple concurrent and bidirectional streams with advanced multi-channel encoding, decoding, transcoding and cross-conversion.
The upcoming update for ConvertIP DSH introduces an IP-to-IP bridging feature, enabling conversion between uncompressed and compressed formats such as ST 2110-20, ST 2110-22 and IPMX. With this update, ConvertIP DSH becomes an even more versatile solution for IP video conversion, enhancing workflow flexibility.
