Our new Mura distributed video wall appliance and Vion IP video gateway, with our range of video encoders and decoders, converters, IP KVM extension and switching solutions and video wall products enable seamless collaboration over IP, enhancing operator efficiency and informing responsive decision making.”

NEW TECHNOLOGY DEMO: Mura Distributed Video Wall Appliance
Matrox says the highly scalable, fully IP Mura distributed video wall appliance uses a server-less architecture and powerful web configuration tool for easy setup and operation and delivers PTP-synchronized and frame locked video to as many as 64 4K displays for the most demanding applications. Supporting H.264 and H.265 over 1- to 2.5-GB networks, and controllable with the proven Matrox NetAPI, each Mura processor can decode up to four 4Kp60 streams in 4:4:4. With the new Matrox Mura distributed video wall appliance, Matrox says system integrators can deploy high-density, cost-effective, fully IP-based distributed video walls by reducing the need for extra hardware and cabling. The Mura DVW demo at InfoComm 2024 will feature a 5×3 video wall, powered by five Mura appliances. A total of 15 4K displays will be framelocked and synchronized, with the Mura appliances streaming content from a variety of sources including Matrox Maevex 7100 and Maevex 6100 systems, as well as the new Matrox Vion IP-to-IP gateway. Video wall creators gain easy control with the Matrox NetAPI and Matrox MuraControl for Windows software, according to Matrox.

NEW TECHNOLOGY DEMO: Vion AV-over-IP Gateway
Built on “next-generation, IT-inspired” architecture, Matrox says the Vion solves the problem of moving from one IP video format to another and is the first Matrox Video product to support NDI. The company says the Vion technology showcase in the Matrox Video booth will demonstrate how this new multi-purpose AV-over-IP gateway enables flexible IP video bridging and conversion, boosting productivity and enabling new local and cloud IP-to-IP workflows. As an IP-to-IP video gateway, Vion is ideal for live production and collaboration, with support for 4:4:4 color and optional SDI/HDMI I/O. Vion converts to and from formats and codecs like RTSP-H.264 to NDI, NDI to IPMX, IPMX to SRT-H.265 and more, including transmitting NDI over SRT for internet-based transmission. Matrox says Vion preserves the fine details of desktop content with HEVC 4:4:4 codec support. With flexible, low-latency multichannel encoding, decoding, transcoding and processing, Vion enables color space conversions, changes to streaming protocols and bitrates and transmits multiple concurrent streams.

DEMO: Multimonitor IP KVM Extension and Switching With Matrox Extio 3 and KMLync
Matrox Extio 3 IP KVM extenders and the KMLync USB keyboard/mouse switch enhance operator efficiency by enabling remote monitoring and control of systems across a multi-monitor workspace with up to four 4K or 16 full-HD displays, according to Matrox. At InfoComm 2024, Matrox Video will demonstrate its KVM matrix system over IP for multimonitor operator workspaces over 1-GbE networks, with fast switching. Using 4K multiview over IP, the demo also will show how users can visualize four video sources on a single 4K monitor and control them with one keyboard and mouse, realizing greater efficiency with mouse switching.

DEMO: Ultra-Low Latency Streaming and Recording With Matrox Maevex Encoders/Decoders
ProAV users interested in streaming and recording H.264/H.265 content with ultra-low latency can see Matrox Maevex 6100 Series and the new Maevex 7100 Series encoders and decoders in action. Enabling single and multichannel, ultra-low latency, low bitrate, high-quality, simultaneous streaming and recording and zero-latency pass-through for real-time output of AV content in collaboration-focused environments, the company says these Matrox products empower operators to distribute critical content to any location, in turn facilitating more informed and accurate real-time decision making. Users can pair Maevex 6100 Series encoders and decoders to achieve full-frame synchronization from multiple sources. The Maevex-captured streams can be displayed on a Matrox LUMA Pro-powered video wall.

DEMO: IP-Based Video Walls With Matrox LUMA Pro Graphics Cards
Matrox says video wall creators will see how Matrox LUMA Pro graphics cards produce versatile baseband and IP-based video walls with H.264/H.265 decoding. LUMA Pro supports up to two 8Kp60, two 5Kp120, or four 5Kp60 DisplayPort 2.1 monitors, and users can combine cards for a high-density-output video wall of up to 16 synchronized 5Kp60 displays. Frame locking up to four LUMA Pro cards facilitates easy addition and synchronization of displays. Leveraging Intel Arc GPU advanced media codec engines and supported by Matrox Mura software libraries, these cards enable the decoding and display of over 40 full-HD streams per card. Also on display will be the new Mura C4K quad HDMI capture PCI Express card engineered for video-wall use cases that require high-density HDMI captures up to 4Kp60.

DEMO: Video Production, Routing, and Distribution With Matrox ConvertIP Encoders/Decoders and Converters, and ConductIP Signal Routing
The Matrox ConvertIP Series of IPMX/ST 2110-ready encoders/decoders and converters enable interoperable, cost-efficient and scalable IP video production, monitoring and routing. Matrox says the ConvertIP demo at InfoComm 2024 will highlight the new Daisy Chain feature for flexible and redundant conversion and monitoring and low cost of ownership. In live production applications, Daisy Chain facilitates efficient, cost-effective distribution of multiple streams of content throughout the physical environment. As a result, the company says facilities get more out of any active network port, use less network equipment and ease installation of network wiring runs. Complementing ConvertIP, Matrox ConductIP signal routing software makes it possible to discover, monitor, and route any AMWA NMOS-enabled SMPTE ST 2110 or IPMX device or signal.
