Maevex MGX E1

Single-channel 4K60 H.265/H.264 IPMX-ready video encoder with USB support

Matrox Maevex MGX E1 single channel 4K60 encoder delivers industry-leading imperceptible low-latency 4K60 AV-over-IP streaming with H.265 4:4:4 image quality at up to 1/20th the bitrate of all other lossless ProAV codecs. Its highly efficient streaming architecture dramatically reduces network congestion, complexity, and infrastructure costs, and delivers real-time performance creating a paradigm shift in the way video moves over IP. Built for enterprise and mission-critical environments, Maevex MGX E1 supports both open-standard IPMX, Matrox IQ Mode, and a host of other streaming protocols enabling organizations to optimize for interoperability and maximum performance and design for all their workflow needs.

With advanced codec support, multi-protocol streaming, and integrated USB functionality for interactive workflows, Maevex MGX E1 goes beyond traditional video distribution, enabling real-time collaboration, remote access, and scalable network deployments, all while dramatically reducing bandwidth requirements.

Key Benefits

Exceptional quality and latency at a fraction of the bandwidth

Achieve 4K60 4:4:4 visual fidelity with industry leading low latency while dramatically reducing network demands.

  • H.265 4:4:4 color space encoding delivers best-in-class lossless image quality combined with high-compression bandwidth efficiency with additional support for HEVC and AVC 4:2:0 encoding

  • Industry-leading low latency performance as low as 1-2 frames for real-time responsiveness when paired with Maevex MGX D1 or Maevex MGX D2 decoders

  • Default bitrate for 4K60 lossless image quality at 50Mbps – user tunable

  • Comparable quality and latency at a fraction of the bandwidth to virtually all Pro AV 1GbE light compression solutions, reducing network congestion, complexity and infrastructure costs to enable more simple and scalable deployment

Flexible streaming modes with simultaneous multi-protocol operation

Adapt to diverse workflows with multiple streaming modes from a single device.

  • Support for open standards IPMX and Matrox IQ Mode for ultra-low latency (both with NMOS support), and RTSP, MPEG-TS, and SRT enables unparalleled flexibility across any AV environment

  • Simultaneous multiple streaming protocol support enables operators to get streams wherever they need to go from a single device – LAN, WAN/VPN, internet/cloud

  • Local pass-through output and control enable seamless integration with existing desktops and workstations while simultaneously streaming your content to decoders and other endpoints

Integrated USB extension for interactive and collaborative workflows

Extend beyond video with built-in USB support for full remote interaction and collaboration with a paired Maevex MGX D1 or D2 decoder.

  • Keyboard, mouse, and webcam extension for viewing, contributing, and controlling real-time content remotely

  • Enables real-time interaction industry-leading low latency for a seamless user experience at 1/20th the bitrate of other light compression USB-enabled solutions

  • Supports collaborative meeting spaces, control rooms, and secure remote operations

  • Pair sets of Maevex MGX encoders and decoders – above and beyond single and dual screen remote operation – to support triple, quad, or more workstation display deployments
