Matrox Debuts Maevex MGX Series for IPMX-Ready 4K60 AV-over-IP

Matrox's entry into IPMX-ready hardware with high efficiency directly impacts the infrastructure layer of streaming, offering broadcast and professional AV operations a pathway to reduce bandwidth overhead for high-resolution content. This move positions Matrox within the growing ecosystem of vendors adopting open standards for AV-over-IP, potentially accelerating broader industry adoption. Watch for how this series integrates with existing SMPTE ST 2110 deployments and influences competitive product development in the professional AV encoding space.

The introduction of IPMX-ready hardware by Matrox Video aligns with a broader industry push toward interoperable, IP-based media workflows. The IPMX standard, based on SMPTE ST 2110, is gaining traction as a royalty-free open standard for AV-over-IP, aiming to unify professional AV and broadcast operations. Per AVNation in March 2026, the AIMS Alliance continues to advocate for IPMX adoption, highlighting its role in simplifying system design and deployment through standardized discovery, registration, and control mechanisms.

Manufacturers like Imagine Communications, as reported by Broadcast Tech in April 2026, have also been investing in ST 2110 compliant solutions for broadcast contribution and distribution, which informs the viability of IPMX-based systems. The emphasis on reduced bitrates and network efficiency in Matrox's new series addresses a key challenge in the transition to IP: managing data loads without compromising quality, especially for 4K60 content. This focus is consistent with industry concerns about network infrastructure costs and scalability, as discussed by AV Technology in February 2026. The integration of USB support for collaboration further indicates a convergence of traditional AV distribution with unified communications, a trend accelerated by hybrid work models, as noted by Commercial Integrator in May 2026.
