August 4, 2016

Matrox Graphics announced that its Matrox Mura IPX and Matrox C-Series cards have been selected as product award finalists at the 18th annual global AV Awards, according to a company press release.

Evaluated by a panel of industry expert judges, the Mura IPX line of 4K capture & IP encode/decode cards has been shortlisted for the 2016 "Audio and Video Processing and Distribution Product of the Year." The C-Series line of multi-display video cards was also chosen as one of the top "Digital Signage Products of the Year." Winners will be announced Sept. 30 at the AV Awards Gala held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

"Whether it's the scalability and control we offer through our video wall and AV-over-IP products, or the flexibility of digital signage solutions that can power as many as 18 displays, Matrox is creating products that people are standing up and taking notice of," said Cecilia Wills, U.K. country manager for Matrox Graphics Inc.

Matrox Mura IPX Series 4K capture and IP encode & decode cards let OEMs and AV system builders deliver advanced video wall controllers featuring high-quality, low-bitrate, multi-channel 4K or HD encoding and decoding over standard IP, the release said. Designed to work with Mura MPX video wall capture and display cards and Matrox C-Series multi-display graphics cards, Mura IPX places 4K capture plus high-density encode and decode functionality onto a single PCIe card to simplify integration and reduce installation costs.

The Matrox C-Series multi-display video cards deliver performance, stability and usability to power video management systems and small-scale display walls in control room, digital signage, enterprise, industrial, security, A/V and embedded system applications, according to the release. The company said the Matrox C900 is the world's first single-slot graphics card to drive nine 1920x1200 displays for 3x3 and 9x1 configurations. Matrox C680 supports up to six 4K/UHD displays. Matrox C420, a fanless quad-output card, is ideal for increased reliability and small-form-factor player PCs, according to the release.
