Matrox showcased their Monarch Edge encoder/decoder platform at NAB 2026, designed for multi-channel synchronized contribution and remote production. The system encodes single or quad 12G SDI inputs using SRT with 4:2:2:10 bit quality and decodes with perfect synchronization and genlock capability for mixing with other SDI signals in production facilities. Bonded cellular technology from partner Jero enables high-bandwidth SRT transmission over 5G networks, while Global M provides cloud-based dashboard routing across Amazon backbone for intercontinental low-latency productions. The Monarch Edge supports quad SDI decode and four SDI encode configurations, with separate tally and talkback channels for intercom integration. Visit matrox.com for more information.

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

The Convert IP product family delivers 2110 media transport for both uncompressed and JPEG XS compressed streams with sub-frame latency. All devices offer HDMI and/or SDI inputs and outputs paired with 10 or 25 gigabit IP ports, with GenLock connectivity via SFPs, supporting 4K60 resolution over 12G SDI or HDMI 2.0. Conduct IP serves as the routing and discovery platform for transmitters and receivers using open IPMX and NMOS standards, enabling any compliant 2110 device to be detected and routed through a user interface. The Convert IP decoders can output up to four HD channels via HDMI.
The Vion IP gateway solution converts between NDI, IPMX, SRT, and other popular IP video formats, with one model offering SDI and HDMI inputs for encoding from baseband formats to IP streams. Matrox demonstrated integration with BitFocus Button software for routing presets mapped to Elgato hardware control panels, allowing manual switching through the Conduct IP user interface. NetGear provided 10 and 25 gigabit network switching with PoE to power Matrox devices in the booth.
The Avio 2 KVM extension solution uses IPMX or 2110 media transport with added USB routing capabilities, allowing KVM control services to run over the same media network without a separate infrastructure. This marks the first end-to-end USB routing implementation over 2110 networks, and the system can be managed through Conduct IP for endpoint discovery and routing. No separate KVM network is required.
Matrox has been in business for 50 years and focuses on FPGA-based hardware while employing more software engineers than hardware engineers due to modern capabilities. Their remote production ecosystem integrates Jero bonded cellular, Global M cloud routing, NetGear switching, and BitFocus control software with Matrox encoders, decoders, and routing platforms for broadcast and pro AV workflows.
