Matrox Mura IPX 4K Capture & IP Encode/Decode

The Matrox® MURA IPX 4K capture and IP encode/decode cards feature 4 HDMI or 2 DisplayPort inputs for high-resolution capture, encoding, streaming, recording and decoding of up to four 4K or 16 HD streams?delivering an unmatched audiovisual experience.

These PCI Express® cards can stream and record an entire video wall or selected regions of interest, with pixel for pixel or scaled down representation of the display wall anywhere on the network. Mura IPX 4K capture and IP encode/decode can easily satisfy system builder requirements through the mixing and matching of a wide selection of Matrox video wall components. Ideal for control rooms, digital signage, AV presentation, security, and other applications that involve high-density capture, encoding, streaming, recording, decoding, and control operations.


High-Density H.264 Encoding and Decoding

Mura IPX cards have been engineered to offer world-class, high-density H.264 encoding and decoding capabilities for use in virtually any application of encoding, decoding, or transcoding.

Resolution encoding and decoding including the streaming, and recording of a single 8K* stream or multiple 4K, Full HD, or SD streams.

Quality encoding and decoding through the encoding support of desktop-grade, high-frequency content. Mura IPX allows for perfect desktop sharing and recording applications on content as detailed as only one pixel thick.

Number of streams encoding and decoding for numerous applications ranging from decode and display of a high number of streaming IP sources, to the capture and streaming of multiple independent streams of video content at multiple bitrates, resolutions, and quality levels.


All-in-One H.264 Supernode

Mura IPX provides the capability to capture, stream, encode, and decode using H.264 all from with one PCIe® card. Mura IPX series cards are designed to gather and distribute video from multiple IP sources and direct inputs, allowing the aggregation, recording, and delivery of compelling and complementary content as needed to Mura IPX-enabled workstations and compatible receiving hardware and software.


Encoding/Decoding Support for H.264 Universal Standard

Mura IPX supports high-density H.264 level 5.2 encoding and decoding, and thrives on the massive interactivity this produces with 3rd-party hardware and software products. Collectively accepted on the vast majority of network infrastructures, the H.264 codec allows for efficient encoding and decoding at low bitrates and high quality (from SD to 8K*) based on user needs.


Remote Video Wall

Can stream and record an entire video wall or selected regions of interest, with pixel for pixel or scaled down representation of the display wall anywhere on the network.

Dynamic System Scalability
Through the integration of the low-footprint Mura IPX cards, video wall controllers, multiviewers, and personal video walls can be built to the scale required for specific projects. Optimized for performance, Mura IPX provides options to allow greater flexibility in integration while also offering enhanced thermal reliability.


Multi-Source HDMI or DisplayPort Inputs for Video Capture
With four Mini HDMI or two DisplayPort inputs, Mura IPX can capture a wide variety of inputs, dependent on the number of sources and the display resolution required.


Direct Memory Access

Mura IPX series capture cards provide the ability to directly access system or graphics memory for a given application to obtain the raw data and perform a variety of processing operations ?including analysis, warping, and rendering, among others.


Enhance Deployed Matrox Products by Adding Mura IPX

Matrox Mura IPX Series paired with Matrox Mura MPX

• Single-slot input/output cards allow high density, flexibility, and scalability

Matrox Mura IPX Series paired with Matrox C-Series

• Up to 18 synchronized output
• High-resolution monitor support, including Full HD and 4K/UHD

Advanced Video Processing

Optimized to provide robust video processing functions, such as crop, rotation, flip, mirror, alpha blend, and color key, Mura IPX provides a canvas and comprehensive video toolset for smoother post-production effects. Through this functionality, inputs can be adjusted to suit the exact output needs of both in-person users and the remote audience.


IP Connectivity

By enabling communication across devices over the LAN through a network jack, Matrox has extended the ability of video walls from a group of stationary displays to a networked hub of interconnected monitors. Not only can Mura IPX receive and decode IP streams, but it can stream encoded video, receivable on other Mura IPX-enabled devices and third party hardware and software.


Adjustable Color Depth & Pixel Transfer Formats

Offering the user the flexibility to control the level of color detail required, Mura IPX allows RGB 8:8:8 & RGB 10:10:10, as well as 8-bit and 10-bit per component YUV color. As such, Mura IPX delivers deep 30-bit color, as well as 24-bit true color based on your needs.

Depending on the scenario, it may be advisable to subsample color to save bandwidth. Offering full 4:4:4 color to preserve full-color depth, Mura IPX also permits 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 subsampling to reduce bandwidth load where users will not be affected by the reduction in color detail.
