Matrox Vion EX IP Video Gateway

Matrox Vion EX IP Video Gateway

The Matrox Vion EX is a compact, multi-channel 4K-capable IP video gateway for advanced media processing and conversion. Vion provides flexible, low-latency multi-channel encoding, decoding, transcoding, and cross-conversion of IP video formats and codecs, including H.264, HEVC, JPEG-XS, and NDI. This IP video gateway supports the IPMX suite of open standards and protocols such as SMPTE ST 2110-22, SRT, RTSP, RTP, and MPEG-2 TS, enabling flexible routing workflows—for example, transcoding an NDI source for delivery over the web using SRT. With support for 4:2:2 10-bit and 4:4:4 10-bit codecs, optional HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI inputs, and the ability to transmit multiple concurrent streams, Vion preserves video detail, manages color space conversions, streaming protocols, and bitrates. These capabilities make it ideal for live production, collaboration, and both local and cloud-based IP workflows.
