The Matrox Maevex video distribution over IP solution consists of the Maevex 5100 Series encoders and decoders that can extend or record up to 1080p 60Hz video and audio over a standard IP network at user-defined low bit rates for excellent quality and minimal network bandwidth consumption. The Maevex encoder streams or records high-quality video and audio and uses the H.264 video compression standard. It can stream to Maevex decoders or any device or PC that supports the required network protocols. It can also record to a shared network or NAS drive. The robust Matrox PowerStream software is included with the hardware and is used to remotely discover, manage, and adjust the Maevex network

Extend/record up to Full HD 1080p 60Hz and 1920 x1200 video and audio

H.264 compression for high-quality, low-bandwidth AV-over-IP

Support for wide-screen & standard aspect ratios and many resolutions

Scale streams before distribution for lower bandwidth consumption

HDMI or analog audio support

Open encoding allows for third-party software decode (e.g. VLC)

Record up to 1080p60/1920x1200 to NAS or shared network drive

Control frequency and duration of recording

Schedule the start time and date of recording sessions

Recorded user-defined file name includes timestamp for easy file management

Network Management: Operates on standard 100/1000Mb Ethernet networks

Auto-detect and discover Maevex units on subnet (DHCP server required)

Full/half-duplex mode and static IP address support

CBR, VBR support

Network bit-rate control (100 Kbps - 25 Mbps)

Failsafe: Play back pre-recorded content at the decoder in case of a network disruption or if encoder stops streaming (e.g. loss of power)

Programmable time delay before failsafe activates
