Matrox Video has introduced new additions to the company's lineup of SMPTE ST 2110 cards. New low-density versions of the Matrox DSX LE5 D25 LP and DSX LE6 D100 network interface controller (NIC) cards enable flexible design of products supporting the broadcast and Pro AV industries' shift to IP workflows. Offering multi-channel video inputs and outputs (I/O) over 10/25/100GbE networks, along with the media processing-rich Matrox DSX SDK, these new NIC cards allow equipment manufacturers to design any type of IP-based application from low-density HD/3G/4K and 8K workflows at the right price point within one SDK.
"The Matrox Video commitment to the SMPTE ST 2110 standard is unquestionable, and by introducing both entry-level and ultra-high-spec ST 2110 NICs right now, we address the growth of the ST 2110 market—at many levels for many applications and productions—across broadcast and Pro AV," said Francesco Scartozzi, VP of sales and business development, Broadcast and Media Group, at Matrox Video. "Our new ST 2110 NICs use the same robust DSX SDK as our popular DSX LE5 and XMIO5 D25/Q25 NICs, which have been used for years in the 24/7 ST 2110 infrastructures of the most prestigious broadcasters worldwide. The DSX SDK enables complete support of ST 2110 solutions with minimal engineering effort and resources. Because all the complexity of ST 2110 is managed by the SDK, developers handle the video, audio, and ancillary data buffers just as they would with an SDI application."
