Cheat sheet

What it is

The Matrox Maevex MGX E2 encoder delivers low-latency AV-over-IP streaming with H.265 4:4:4 image quality at a fraction of the bitrate of comparable ProAV codecs. It encodes two 4K60 channels from two HDMI inputs, presented as one NMOS node with one sender per channel.

Specs

Resolution: Up to 4096x2160 at 60Hz

Size: 206mm L x 185mm W x 46mm H

Type: IPMX-ready H.265/H.264 AV-over-IP encoder

Inputs: 2x HDMI in

Mounting: Standalone or 1U half-rack with the RMK-19TR-A kit

Setup

First Use: Connect LAN 1 and power on. The device takes a DHCP address by default and advertises itself over mDNS. Configure it through the web interface or Matrox Central Manager, then confirm it answers on the NMOS Node API before routing.

CEC: Not documented for this device.

Switch: An encoder is a source. Use LIST SENDERS to read its sender UUIDs and GET SENDER SDP for the stream description, then route those senders from the decoder that should display them.

Support

Tech Support Phone: 1-800-361-4903

Power Cycle: Disconnect the external power supply, wait ten seconds, reconnect.

Factory Reset: Refer to the Maevex MGX user guide.
