Matrox Maevex MGX E2 Dual 4K60 Encoder

Maevex MGX Series - 4K60 H.265/H.264 IPMX-ready video encoders and decoders
The Matrox Maevex MGX Series encoders and decoders deliver industry-leading low-latency 4K60 AV-over-IP streaming with H.265 4:4:4 image quality at up to 1/20th the bitrate of virtually all other ProAV codecs. Its highly efficient streaming architecture dramatically reduces network congestion, complexity, and infrastructure costs, creating a paradigm shift in the way video moves over IP. Built for enterprise and mission-critical environments, Maevex MGX supports both open-standard IPMX and Matrox IQ Mode, enabling organizations to optimize for interoperability or maximum performance depending on their workflow needs. With advanced codec support, multi-protocol streaming, and integrated USB functionality for interactive workflows, Maevex MGX goes beyond traditional video distribution, enabling real-time collaboration, remote access, and scalable network deployments, all while dramatically reducing bandwidth requirements.

Corporate AV Distribution
Maevex MGX enables exceptionally high-quality distribution of executive communications, town halls, and company-wide events across corporate AV environments. Built for reliability, it ensures employees receive clear, consistent messaging whether they are in the auditorium, an overflow room, a regional office, or working remotely. Ideal for corporate campuses, headquarters, and hybrid workplaces, Maevex MGX delivers industry-leading low-latency 4K60 video with synchronized audio and video for a natural viewing experience inside or outside the room. HEVC 4:4:4 encoding enables operating at 1/20th the bandwidth of traditional ProAV solutions, reducing network complexity and making AV distribution possible even on data-rich corporate networks.

Control room contribution and distribution
Maevex MGX enables secure, exceptionally high-quality contribution of content into control rooms, as well as distribution within and beyond the control room environment. Designed for enterprise-grade security, it supports mission-critical operations where reliability and control are essential. Ideal for government and defense, industrial operations, security monitoring, and real-time crime centers, Maevex MGX delivers industry-leading low latency 4K60 video with precise, responsive control at ultra-low bandwidth.
