Maevex 6150 Quad 4K Encoder

 

The Matrox Maevex 6150 quad 4K encoder appliance delivers quad 4K input capture and encode, supporting at least four concurrent 4K streams and recordings—simultaneously. Six different streaming protocols, multiple chroma sub-sampling, adjustable encoding parameters, zero-latency pass-through, compositing, all in a convenient, quiet, low power, rack-ready appliance form factor that fits almost any encoding application—for today and tomorrow. The complimentary PowerStream Plus SDK enables you to build new applications or integrate the functionalities of PowerStream Plus into existing applications.

Low latency streaming. High quality experience.

Achieve zero-latency pass-through for real-time output of audio/video content on up to four 4K displays. This H.264 encoder integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructures and interoperates with virtually any network device, ensuring high-density content distribution and system scalability—all without sacrificing quality. Maevex also uses existing 1 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure to allow many streams of any quality to be transmitted on a single cable, eliminating the need for a dedicated distribution network. The Maevex 6150 encoder can have latency as low as 16 ms.

 

 

Flexible protocols. Secure streaming.

Enjoy a variety of streaming protocols—HLS, MPEG2-TS, RTP, RTMP, RTSP, and SRT—for trouble-free streaming. Support for the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) video transport protocol means that secure, low-latency, and high-performance streaming is also realized on noisy or unpredictable networks such as the public Internet. Whether you’re dealing with a stable LAN connection, a limited WAN pipeline, or an unpredictable Internet transport, Maevex has the right streaming protocol for the job.

Quad stream and record. Anywhere, at the same time.

Maevex 6150 delivers content to on-premises end points, over the LAN and internet, feeds cloud-based servers, and records to local or network storage for later editing and viewing. Maevex 6150 can also transmit live and/or recorded content for multiple video-on-demand platforms—such as Facebook® Live, YouTube®, Twitch, Wowza®, Vimeo®, IBM® Video Streaming, and Restream, to name a few.


 

Flawless image quality

Benefit from up to 4K/UHD 4:4:4 sub-sampling support and H.264 compression for best-in-breed encoding. The multi-chroma sub-sampling feature delivers 4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0, and 4:0:0 options, to best balance bitrate and compression demands of different encoding content, environments, and markets. User-definable bitrates and quantization parameters, as well as various encoding modes to optimize for desktop, low-latency, or image quality.

Rack mountable. Ultra quiet operation.

Support up to eight 4K streams and recordings from a single U of rack space. The Maevex 6150 encoder is stand-alone appliance housed in a 1U ½ rack width. Place the appliance on the desktop, workstation, or rack, and it’s ready to use.

And its whisper-quiet operation means that Maevex is made for control rooms, operation centers, and other critical environments that require a noise level of 25 dB and less.

Control is just a touch away

An on-device LCD display shows device IP and stream addresses, system information, and other urgent content for easy installation and troubleshooting directly on the device. Six on-appliance buttons—to read and/or control the LCD display and start/stop streaming and recording—provide all the control you need with a simple press of a button.
