4K capture and IP encoder & decoder cards garner Top New Technology and Best of Show Honors at Integrated Systems Europe 2016

MONTREAL — Feb. 22, 2016 — Matrox® Graphics Inc. today announced that its new Mura™ IPX Series of 4K capture and IP encoder & decoder cards is the recipient of three of the industry’s most prestigious technology honors presented at Integrated Systems Europe 2016.

CE Pro, Commercial Integrator, Essential Install Magazine and TechDecisions worked with a team of integrators from around the world to judge top products on their technological innovation, benefits to the integrator and benefits to the end user. They awarded Matrox Mura IPX Series the first-ever Top New Technology (TNT) Award in the Video Wall Solutions category. NewBay Media’s 2016 ISE Best of Show Awards from Installation and AV Technology were also presented to Matrox for the Mura IPX Series.

“In a field dominated by innovative solutions, these winning products mark the best of the best in the global pro-AV marketplace,” states Margot Douaihy, editorial director of AV Technology. “We asked our expert judges at ISE 2016 to evaluate each product based on the proposed value proposition/ROI, richness and relevance of the feature set, perceived ease of installation, ease of management, and user friendliness. Ultimately, what separated these products from other solid solutions is that they have a special appeal for AV technology managers and IT directors in increasingly converged AV/IT environments."

“Winning awards from these leading publications emphasizes the growing desire and need for innovative, cost-effective AV-over-IP solutions,” said Fadhl Al-Bayaty, product manager, Matrox Graphics Inc. “The Matrox Mura IPX cards will transform the way OEMs and AV system integrators approach video wall controller designs with the ability to integrate high-quality, low-bitrate, multi-channel 4K or HD encoding and decoding all via a single-slot card.”

Designed to work with Matrox Mura MPX video wall capture and display boards and Matrox C-Series™ multi-display graphics cards, Mura IPX packs 4K capture plus high-density encode and decode functionality onto a single PCIe® card to simplify integration and reduce installation costs. The MURA-IPX-I4DF 4K capture and IP decode board provides four HDMI inputs for direct high-resolution 4Kp60 or 2560x1600p60 capture plus H.264 decoding of up to two 4Kp60, four 4Kp30, eight 1080p60 or sixteen 1080p30 streams. The MURA-IPX-I4EF 4K capture and IP encode/decode board adds H.264 level 5.2 encoding to stream and record content—including video wall sources, displays or regions-of-interest—anywhere on the network.
