New — Matrox DSX SDK 10.5
The latest updates to the Matrox DSX SDK for both DSX and X.mio NIC and I/O cards enable ultra-low latency from in to out, with a 1-frame delay for interlaced video and a 2-frame delay for progressive video. The new “large canvas” feature enabled on X.mio5 ST 2110 cards allows customizable regions of interest from a large canvas to be output as multi-channel 1080P and UHD resolutions for flexible and advanced multi-screen display workflows. DSX SDK 10.5 also supports ST 2110-22 with JPEG-XS encoding and decoding and adds native support for AWS S3 with the Flex Reader and Writer for cloud-based applications.
New — Matrox DSX LE6 D100 ST 2110 Network Interface Card
This new 100 GbE ST 2110 network card is designed for high-performance media environments including broadcast and virtual production. Featuring dual QSFP 28 connectors, this PCIe Gen 4 x 8 card offers up to eight channels of UHD@P60 or two channels of 8KP60 input and output, all with ST 2022-7 redundancy. The card has hardware-based PTP to provide nanosecond-range ST 2059-2 accuracy and offloads all ST 2110 packet processing from the CPU, which is essential for high-density and high-resolution applications. This card also offers ultra-low latency to minimize in-to-out latency for multi-channel 4K and 8K applications.
Speakers and Events
