Matrox Video has launched the Matrox Maevex MGX Series, a new lineup of IPMX-ready video encoders and decoders with USB support that is engineered to deliver 4K60 AV-over-IP distribution at one twentieth the bitrate of virtually all other ProAV codecs, significantly reducing network complexity and cost.
Designed for enterprise AV, control rooms, and medical environments where network efficiency is critical, the Maevex MGX Series enables organizations to achieve pristine image quality and industry-leading ultra-low-latency performance while using far less bandwidth. This helps reduce network congestion, simplifies infrastructure, enables 20x the streaming capacity on the same network, and avoids costly network upgrades.
The Maevex MGX Series brings a high degree of flexibility to AV-over-IP deployments. It supports both IPMX and Matrox IQ Mode, which can be used independently or simultaneously to meet different workflow requirements. The Maevex MGX Series achieves up to one twentieth the bandwidth of standard AV-over-IP encoders while maintaining the same visual performance. When used between compatible Matrox Video devices, Matrox IQ Mode enables latency as low as one frame.
With Maevex MGX, a single input can be streamed simultaneously to multiple outputs and formats, including IPMX, RTSP, MPEG-TS, and SRT, enabling versatile distribution and simplified system design. Single- and dual-channel models, including the Maevex MGX E1 and E2 encoders and Maevex MGX D1 and D2 decoders, provide deployment flexibility. Multiview and compositing capabilities are available on the Maevex MGX E2, D1, and D2, enabling users to combine and manage multiple sources on both the encoding and decoding sides.
Image quality and responsiveness remain central across all use cases. The Maevex MGX Series supports H.265 4:4:4 for high-fidelity 4K60 video with accurate color reproduction and fine detail, while also supporting H.265 4:2:0 and H.264 4:2:0 to accommodate a broad range of AV-over-IP workflows and network requirements. Industry-leading ultra-low-latency ensures real-time interaction and precise control in demanding environments.
Integrated USB support for keyboard, mouse, and webcam connectivity extends the MGX Series beyond traditional streaming. It enables remote workstation access, desktop capture, and interactive collaboration workflows, allowing users to not only distribute content but also interact with it in real-time.
The Maevex MGX Series is ideal for control rooms, enterprise video distribution, medical environments, and unified communication and collaboration environments where performance, efficiency, and interoperability are critical.
The Matrox Maevex MGX Series is now available for order and shipping worldwide.
