Matrox Maevex MGX Series

4K60 H.265/H.264 IPMX-Ready Video Encoders and Decoders

Matrox Maevex MGX Series encoders and decoders deliver industry-leading low-latency performance for 4K60 AV-over-IP distribution while achieving the same image quality as traditional ProAV codec solutions at nearly 20 times lower bit rates with H.265 4:4:4 image quality.

Its highly efficient streaming architecture significantly reduces network traffic, infrastructure complexity, and network costs, providing a new approach to video transmission over IP.

Designed for enterprise and mission-critical applications, the Maevex MGX Series supports both open-standard IPMX and Matrox IQ Mode. This allows organizations to choose maximum interoperability through open standards or the highest performance with Matrox IQ Mode, depending on their requirements.

With advanced codec support, multiple streaming protocols, and integrated USB support for interactive workflows, Maevex MGX goes beyond traditional video distribution, enabling real-time collaboration, remote access, and scalable AV-over-IP infrastructures while significantly reducing bandwidth requirements.

Key Benefits

Superior Image Quality and Low Latency with Significantly Lower Bandwidth

Delivers 4K60 resolution and 4:4:4 chroma subsampling with extremely low latency while significantly reducing the data load on the network.

Key benefits include:

• H.265 and H.264 codec support for high image quality and bandwidth efficiency
• Ultra-low latency of as little as 1 frame for real-time applications
• Significantly lower bandwidth consumption compared to similar ProAV 1GbE lightly compressed solutions
• Reduced network traffic for lower infrastructure costs and easier system scalability

Flexible Streaming Modes and Multi-Protocol Support

Offers multiple streaming options to accommodate different distribution scenarios through a single device.

Features include:

• Choice between IPMX and Matrox IQ Mode
• Ability to use both modes simultaneously with multi-stream support
• Local HDMI output for feeding on-site displays while simultaneously streaming over IP
• Support for RTSP, MPEG-TS, and SRT protocols for compatibility with different AV infrastructures

This flexible architecture allows a single device to handle both local display and IP-based distribution simultaneously.

Integrated USB Support for Interactive and Collaborative Workflows

Maevex MGX does more than transmit video. Its USB Extension capability enables full interaction with remote systems.

Supported features include:

• Keyboard extension
• Mouse extension
• Webcam extension
• Control and management of remote desktop content

With industry-leading low-latency performance, it provides a real-time user experience at up to 20 times lower bit rates compared to other USB-enabled ProAV solutions.

This makes it particularly well suited for applications such as:

• Meeting rooms
• Collaboration spaces
• Control rooms
• Operations centers
• Secure remote work environments
