Matrox Video has expanded its portfolio with the launch of the Matrox Vion, a cutting-edge IP video gateway designed to bridge SMPTE ST 2110 and IPMX AV-over-IP workflows. Complementing the Matrox ConvertIP DSH transmitter/receiver, Vion tackles the growing complexity of IP video in both ProAV and broadcast environments.
This compact, IT-inspired gateway supports real-time encoding, decoding, transcoding, and format conversion across diverse standards, including H.264/HEVC, JPEG XS, ST 2110, IPMX, and NDI. Vion ensures seamless interoperability for mixed ProAV and broadcast workflows, simplifying the integration of IP video infrastructure.
Here’s a video we shot of it this summer:
Available in two versions—EX and NX—the Vion EX model adds SDI and HDMI inputs for enhanced flexibility. Both models feature:
- Efficiently convert, transcode, transmux, transrate, and transceive compressed IP signals over IP networks to ensure seamless media distribution.
- Take advantage of HEVC 4:4:4 color codec to deliver superior desktop content making it ideal for color-sensitive applications.
- Ensure compatibility across devices and future-proof your infrastructure with support for ST 2110-22, IPMX, and JPEG XS.
- Facilitate NDI media and protocol conversion, including seamless conversion between NDI and SRT, as well as NDI and IPMX.
- Instantly preview content locally with HDMI and audio outputs.
- Deliver multiple concurrent and bi-directional streams with advanced multi-channel encoding, decoding, transcoding, and cross-conversion.
In addition, Matrox is enhancing the ConvertIP DSH solution with an upcoming software update. This update will enable IP-to-IP bridging, supporting conversions between uncompressed and compressed formats like ST 2110-20, ST 2110-22, and IPMX, further streamlining IP video workflows.
Vion provides a versatile solution for ProAV and broadcast professionals, offering tools for compatibility and efficient media management across diverse IP video networks.
