Maevex 6100 Quad Encoder Card

Experience Flexible 4K Streaming & Recording Today’s communications are being re-shaped by the rapid adoption of networked technologies. Traditional AV content distribution, once available only via baseband signalling, now leverages ever-expanding IP networks to push and pull content, making it easier than ever to meet the growing demand for increased capacity and any-to-any connectivity. The Matrox Maevex 6100 quad encoder card delivers industry-leading 4K/UHD and Full HD multi-channel capture, encode, and stream AV-over-IP. Built on H.264, the world’s most common codec, this plug-and-play solution fits seamlessly into existing infrastructures and interoperates with any device on the network, ensuring high-density content distribution and system scalability. Included Matrox PowerStream Plus software provides complete reach and control of all streams and applications through a simple-to-use interface. The PowerStream Plus API—available upon request—offers integrators and developers command-level access to include Maevex functionality in new or existing applications. The complete range of Maevex-associated software development tools and comprehensive libraries allow OEMS, integrators, and developers to deploy intuitive, ready-to-use software or build custom interfaces and applications based on project needs.

Our Solution Industry-Leading Technology

Flexible Communication

Complete Reach and Control

• Drive quad inputs and four or more streams simultaneously from a single PCIe card, with multiple channels of 4K/UHD and Full HD capture, and real-time encoding, streaming, and recording capabilities.

• Employ simultaneous video streaming, processing, and recording on all channels.

• Manage content, access hardware, and monitor all streams from any network-connected computer.

• Transmit live or recorded content to and from multiple video-on-demand platforms.

• Integrate PowerStream Plus features into existing applications or create new software applications with PowerStream Plus API.

• Support up to 68 channels of 4K real-time encode/stream from a single system. • Use PowerStream Plus software to access powerful advanced hybrid streaming (AHS) features, including multiple source capture, multiple picture-in-picture (PIP) and pictureby-picture (PBP) composite options, multi-protocol streaming, multi-bitrate streaming, and more.

• Ensure only pristine images are encoded thanks to powerful scaling and deinterlacing features. • Customize settings independently on each channel. • Decode network content using any connected device.

• Deliver an unlimited number of streams through third-party technology like streaming media servers, content delivery networks (CDNs), and more. • Conduct different tasks simultaneously thanks to parallel processing capabilities.
