IPMX-ready H.265/H.264 encoder and decoder appliances with 4:4:4 quality, USB KVM extension, and ultra-low latency AV-over-IP streaming at dramatically reduced bandwidth.
The Maevex MGX Series represents Matrox's next-generation AV-over-IP platform, built around the emerging IPMX (Internet Protocol Media Experience) open standard for interoperable professional video over IP. The MGX E1 and E2 encoder models produce 4K60 H.265 streams at 4:4:4 colour depth with 1 to 2 frames of latency, while Matrox IQ Mode provides a proprietary ultra-low-latency path for intra-network KVM and remote workstation extension. Both encoder variants output to standard IP networks at substantially reduced bitrates compared to uncompressed video transmission.
The MGX D1 and D2 decoder models reconstruct streams onto one or two HDMI outputs respectively, making them suited for both single-screen remote desktop extension and dual-screen workstation display configurations. USB device extension allows keyboard, mouse, and USB peripherals to operate across the IP link, eliminating the need for separate KVM hardware at the remote end. IPMX interoperability ensures MGX units are compatible with third-party encoders and decoders that implement the same open standard, providing deployment flexibility as the installed base grows.
The MGX Series implements the IPMX open standard for AV-over-IP interoperability, allowing mixed deployments with compatible third-party IPMX encoders and decoders.
H.265 encoding at 1 to 2 frames of latency — and Matrox IQ Mode for sub-frame KVM extension — satisfies demanding interactive workstation and control applications.
Encodes at 4:4:4 chroma sampling with H.265 compression, delivering broadcast-grade colour accuracy at significantly lower bitrates than uncompressed or lossless formats.
USB keyboard, mouse, and peripheral signals travel over the same IP link as video, replacing a separate KVM extender and providing a single cable-equivalent remote workstation experience.
