Matrox Vion is a compact, multi-channel 4K capable IP video gateway for media processing and conversion. Vion provides flexible, low-latency multi-channel encoding, decoding, transcoding, and cross-conversion of IP video formats and codecs like H.264, HEVC, JPEG XS and NDI. This IP video gateway supports the IPMX suite of open standards and specifications, and protocols like SMPTE ST 2110-22, SRT, RTSP, RTP, and MPEG-2 TS for flexible routing workflows, such as transcoding an NDI source for delivery over the web using SRT. With support for 4:2:2 10-bit and 4:4:4 10-bit codecs and optional HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI inputs, Vion can maintain both desktop and broadcast video content details, manage color space conversions, streaming protocols and bitrates, and transmit multiple concurrent streams-making it ideal for live production, collaboration, and local/cloud IP workflows.
IP signal and protocol conversion
Efficiently convert, transcode, transmux, transrate, and transceive compressed IP signals to ensure seamless media distribution. With Vion, you can facilitate NDI media and protocol conversion, including seamless conversion between NDI and SRT, as well as NDI and IPMX.
Multi-channel processing
Deliver multiple concurrent and bi-directional streams with advanced multi-channel encoding, decoding, transcoding, and cross-conversion.
4:4:4 color precision
Matrox Vion Series supports 4:4:4-capable codecs (HEVC and JPEG XS) to provide maximum image quality and maximum equipment compatibility. HEVC 4:4:4 ensures low-bitrate transmission of high-quality desktop content over IP, making it ideal for applications that require color accuracy, compression efficiency, and high performance.
Encode from baseband inputs
When looking to process more than IP only sources, acquire video and audio baseband signals from two SDI, two HDMI, and a balanced analog input with Vion EX.
Open standards
Ensure compatibility across devices and future-proof your infrastructure with support for ST 2110-22, IPMX, and JPEG XS.
Content preview I/O options
Instantly preview content locally with HDMI I/O options on the Vion NX and SDI/HDMI I/O options on the Vion EX.
