Matrox to Participate in Its Fifth IP Showcase at IBC 2018

Investing Over Four Years in SMPTE ST 2110 Development, Matrox Once Again Poised to Be at the Heart of 4K Over IP

IP Showcase
Matrox X.mio5 Q25 and Xmio3 NIC cards to demonstrate the clearest path to SMPTE ST 2110 implementations at the IBC2018 IP Showcase.
MONTREAL — 14 September 2018 —Matrox® Video today announced that it will participate in the IP Showcase at IBC2018, demonstrating the clearest path to SMPTE ST 2110 implementations. In a series of show-stopping, IP-based product interoperability presentations, the Matrox X.mio5 Q25 network interface controller (NIC) card will deliver multiple, game-changing 4K/UHDp60 channels over 25GbE, while the Matrox X.mio3 NIC card will provide multiple broadcast resolutions running over the same 10GbE network. OEMs are invited to discover how Matrox SMPTE ST 2110-based NIC cards will allow them to effortlessly build and deploy the world’s most advanced broadcast graphics systems, channel-in-a-box platforms, and capture/playout video servers for any 4K/UHD and HD over IP workflow.
The IP Showcase has been a feature at major industry trade shows since IBC2016 and has been instrumental in helping the industry to galvanize behind the standards-based approach to IP. The event is hosted by major technical and standards organizations within the broadcast industry—Audio Engineering Society (AES), Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS), Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA), European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers® (SMPTE®), and Video Services Forum (VSF).
 
“With purpose-built SMPTE ST 2110 NIC cards, Matrox is not only 100% committed to the SMPTE ST 2110 standard, but is also committed to providing OEMs with the simplest path from SDI to IP,” said Alberto Cieri, director of sales and marketing, Matrox Video. “We do this by enabling OEMs with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) SMPTE ST 2110 network cards that fast-track OEM development of cutting-edge, IP-based, multi-channel UHD/4K and HD broadcast equipment for 24/7, at scale operations.”
 
“The transition to IP is underway, and the progress we’ve made toward standardizing IP infrastructure and operations in the media industry has only happened because so many organizations have come together and devoted time and effort to the cause,” said Michael Cronk, AIMS board chair. “The IP Showcase is a physical manifestation of that progress, and we’re thrilled to see all the companies that have embraced IP technology and chosen to put their efforts on show for IBC visitors to experience.”
