The Matrox DSX LE5 D25 is a full-height PCIe card providing dual 25GbE SFP28 network connectivity with full hardware offload of SMPTE ST 2110 encode and decode, removing ST 2110 processing overhead from the host CPU entirely. Supporting up to four simultaneous UHD 4Kp60 streams or 32 HD streams from a single card, the DSX LE5 D25 is designed for broadcast OEM manufacturers building production-grade IP video systems on standard PC or server hardware. Hardware PTP integration provides nanosecond-accurate timing for frame-synchronised multi-channel workflows.

The DSX LE5 LP D25 provides the same 25GbE ST 2110 capability in a low-profile PCIe form factor, enabling installation in compact OEM server designs where full-height cards are not accommodated. Both variants integrate with the Matrox DSX SDK, providing a software development interface for OEM application developers building broadcast system software on top of the hardware offload engine. The DSX LE5 Series is targeted exclusively at broadcast OEM manufacturers and system integrators, not end-user broadcast operators.

Zero-CPU ST 2110 Offload

All SMPTE ST 2110 encode and decode processing is handled entirely in hardware on the card, freeing the host CPU for application logic and leaving compute budget available for broadcast software.

Hardware PTP for Precise Timing

On-board PTP hardware provides nanosecond-accurate clock synchronisation, ensuring frame-aligned multi-channel ST 2110 timing without relying on software timestamp approximations.

4x UHD 4Kp60 or 32x HD Capacity

A single DSX LE5 D25 handles four simultaneous uncompressed UHD 4Kp60 IP video streams or 32 HD streams in hardware, supporting high-density broadcast IP production systems.

Broadcast OEM Integration via DSX SDK

Direct integration with the Matrox DSX SDK gives OEM developers a software interface to the hardware offload engine for building broadcast application software.
