Matrox announces the next generation of its H.264 AV-over-IP portfolio-- the Maevex 6100 quad encoder card, able to deliver quad 4K input capture together with multiple encodes, variable bitrates and wide range of protocols.

The Maevex 6100 delivers 4K/UHD (4:4:4 @ 30Hz) and Full HD multi-channel capture, encoding, streaming, and recording. Built using H.264 codec, the plug-and-play solution fits seamlessly into existing infrastructures and interoperates with any device on the network to ensure high-density content distribution and system scalability.

It is a 3/4 length PCIe 3.0 x8 card with 4 mini HDMI (type C) inputs for the capture of up to x4 4096x2160@30Hz sources. Offering RTSP, RTP and MPEG2.TS streaming support with an onboard RJ45 network connector (RTMP support to follow), the Maevex 6100 encodes a multitude of H.264 streams at the same or varying bitrates. It also simultaneously streams and/or records to shared network drives or network attached storage, and features programmable start times, recording duration, maximum file length and file frequency.
