Matrox Maevex 6150 Quad 4K Encoder

Description

The Matrox Maevex 6150 Quad 4K Encoder appliance delivers quad 4K input capture and encode, supporting at least four concurrent 4K streams and recordings—simultaneously.

Six different streaming protocols, multiple chroma sub-sampling, adjustable encoding parameters, zero-latency pass-through, compositing, all in a convenient, quiet, low power, rack-ready appliance form factor that fits almost any encoding application—for today and tomorrow. The complimentary Maevex SDK enables you to build new applications or integrate the functionalities of PowerStream Plus into existing applications.

Key Features:

Low latency streaming. High quality experience.

Achieve zero-latency pass-through for real-time output of audio/video content on up to four 4K displays. This H.264 encoder integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructures and interoperates with virtually any network device, ensuring high-density content distribution and system scalability—all without sacrificing quality. Maevex also uses existing 1 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure to allow many streams of any quality to be transmitted on a single cable, eliminating the need for a dedicated distribution network. The Maevex 6150 encoder can have latency as low as 16 ms.

Flexible protocols. Secure streaming.

Enjoy a variety of streaming protocols—HLS, MPEG2-TS, RTP, RTMP, RTSP, and SRT—for trouble-free streaming. Support for the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) video transport protocol means that secure, low-latency, and high-performance streaming is also realized on noisy or unpredictable networks such as the public Internet. Whether you’re dealing with a stable LAN connection, a limited WAN pipeline, or an unpredictable Internet transport, Maevex has the right streaming protocol for the job.

Quad stream and record. Anywhere, at the same time.

Maevex 6150 delivers content to on-premises end points, over the LAN and internet, feeds cloud-based servers, and records to local or network storage for later editing and viewing. Maevex 6150 can also transmit live and/or recorded content for multiple video-on-demand platforms—such as Facebook Live, YouTube, Twitch, Wowza, Vimeo, IBM Video Streaming, and Restream, to name a few.

Flawless image quality

Pixel representation of a sample of a larger image Benefit from up to 4K/UHD 4:4:4 sub-sampling support and H.264 compression for best-in-breed encoding. The multi-chroma sub-sampling feature delivers 4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0, and 4:0:0 options, to best balance bitrate and compression demands of different encoding content, environments, and markets. User-definable bitrates and quantisation parameters, as well as various encoding modes to optimise for desktop, low-latency, or image quality.

Rack mountable. Ultra quiet operation.

Matrox Maevex rack-mountable encoders and decoders Support up to eight 4K streams and recordings from a single U of rack space. The Maevex 6150 encoder is stand-alone appliance housed in a 1U ½ rack width. Place the appliance on the desktop, workstation, or rack, and it’s ready to use.

And its whisper-quiet operation means that Maevex is made for control rooms, operation centres, and other critical environments that require a noise level of 25 dB and less.

Control is just a touch away

An on-device LCD display shows device IP and stream addresses, system information, and other urgent content for easy installation and troubleshooting directly on the device. Six on-appliance buttons—to read and/or control the LCD display and start/stop streaming and recording—provide all the control you need with a simple press of a button.

Always powered. Always on.

Safeguard against a potential loss of power. Matrox makes available rack-mounted, multi-output redundant power supply units (RPSU) to ensure uninterrupted operation of your Matrox device in case of a power module failure and a redundant power input in case a circuit breaker trips.

Complete reach and control

Discover devices, manage content, and monitor all streams and recordings from any location on the network with PowerStream Plus software. Included with the purchase of Maevex hardware, PowerStream Plus makes it easy to manage and update both generations of Maevex products via a single application. PowerStream Plus can be installed on any network-connected computer.

Easy APIs and SDKs for full customization

Easily build new applications or integrate the functionalities of PowerStream Plus into existing applications with the Matrox Maevex SDK. Further customise the appearance of your Matrox product—with new company naming, images, logos, colours, buttons, and identity—for greater ease of use and complete white label branding of Matrox hardware and software.
