Matrox Maevex Series – User Guide
Getting started
This section provides an overview of your Maevex environment and devices.
Understanding your Maevex environment
Matrox Maevex devices work together to provide unicast (one-to-one), multicast (one-to-many), or
multi-unicast (one-to-many unicast) streaming over an IP network. Using Matrox PowerStream Plus
software, you can manage your entire Maevex network from a single system.
A Matrox Maevex environment can be made up of the following elements connected to a network:
Source
A video source connected to the input of an encoder. A
controller system can be used as a source.
Maevex 6150 encoder
An encoder appliance with multiple input support that can
generate multiple streams and recordings. An encoder can
stream to one or more decoders.
Maevex 6100 encoder
An encoder card with multiple input support that can
generate multiple streams and recordings. An encoder can
stream to one or more decoders.
Maevex 5150 encoder
An encoder with single input support that can generate a
single stream or recording. An encoder can stream to one or
more decoders.
