Matrox Maevex 6122 Dual 4K HDMI Video Encoder

The Maevex 6122 Dual 4K HDMI Video Encoder from Matrox is a high-performance AV-over-IP solution designed for demanding, mission-critical environments. It delivers dual-channel capture, encoding, and streaming of 4K HDMI sources, combined with zero-latency passthrough for real-time monitoring and distribution.

Equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, the Maevex 6122 supports flexible network configurations, allowing users to stream across separate networks or dedicate one port to control and the other to video data. This ensures reliable performance in complex AV and IT infrastructures.

The encoder supports a wide range of streaming protocols including RTSP, MPEG-2 TS, RTP, SRT, HLS, and RTMP, making it adaptable to virtually any workflow—from local LAN deployments to global cloud-based streaming. With SRT support, it enables secure, low-latency, and high-performance streaming even over unstable or bandwidth-constrained networks.

Advanced multi-chroma sub-sampling options (4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0, and 4:0:0) provide flexibility to balance image quality and bandwidth requirements. Users can fine-tune performance with configurable bitrates, quantization parameters, and encoding modes optimised for ultra-low latency, high image quality, or desktop applications.

Built with enterprise-grade security, the Maevex 6122 integrates with Microsoft Active Directory for robust user authentication and access control. HTTPS communication secures device management, while verified firmware, vulnerability updates, and 802.1x network authentication ensure system integrity. Support for SRT with AES encryption further protects streamed content.

Designed for mission-critical applications, the encoder is ideal for security and surveillance centres, medical imaging, military operations, and corporate environments. It integrates seamlessly with leading VMS platforms such as Genetec and Milestone, enabling real-time monitoring and control across distributed systems.

The compact chassis is 1RU high and half-rack width, allowing two units to be mounted side-by-side in a single rack space, making it an efficient solution for scalable deployments.
