Matrox Cards Add 4K Along With SDI & IP Interoperability to SMART+ Integrated Ingest, Playout, and Graphics Ecosystem

HARDATA® Corp has incorporated the Matrox DSX LE4 LP and Matrox X.mio3 IP cards into its SMART+ 9440 and 9440 IP integrated channel-in-a-box (CIAB) solutions.
MONTREAL — April 5, 2017 — Matrox® Video today announced that HARDATA® Corp, a premier developer of TV and radio workflow solutions, has incorporated the Matrox DSX LE4 LP multi-SDI video cards and Matrox X.mio3 IP multi-channel video I/O over 10GbE cards into its SMART+ 9440 and 9440 IP integrated channel-in-a-box (CIAB) solutions.
A new line of HARDATA’s integrated solutions, the SMART+ Series is focused toward interoperability and new formats, building a path from SDI to IP and from HD to 4K. SMART+ servers are intended for TV stations, TV producers and educational institutions that want to protect current investments yet remain flexible enough to switch to IP or 4K when ready. Inheriting the easy-to-use user interface common in all HARDATA products, SMART+ servers provide quality and reliability at a cost-to-value ratio second to none.
“When we were looking to build a high-end channel-in-a-box, we looked for not only the best technology but also a company who shared a forward looking roadmap to IP and 4K,” said Gustavo Pesci, Founder/CEO, HARDATA. “In that sense, we believe that Matrox is the perfect choice.”
