Some of our recent customer project highlights include CCTV’s “Football Connections” - a special telecast where the Chinese broadcaster transported audiences from Beijing Live Hall, across Asia to Europe and the serene and beautiful Alps, while experiencing the excitement of the football matches up close. Disguise’s VX 4 media server and RX II render engine, allowed the team to achieve seamless and precise 4K scene rendering. According to Hologram Jasmine Project Producer Zeng Xiao, “Disguise provides a richness of cases and industry standards that allow us to connect teams from different project phases. In addition, Disguise has a very detailed user manual and a highly active community ecosystem.” Other standout recent projects include the NBA’s debut of a brand new interactive LED court during the All-Star Weekend (Feb 16 - 17) at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. This was powered by Disguise and bought a new dimension to the fan experience. Disguise has powered various standout broadcasts including data-driven graphics for the Mexican elections covered by Televisa+. Disguise’s Chronos solution allowed the team to display data-driven graphics on a video wall.

At IBC2024 Matrox® Video will showcase products that make it easy for users to capture high-quality baseband video and IP video, produce and process content, operate and control computer systems remotely, and deliver media to audiences reliably. One highlight at the show will be a tech preview of the new Matrox Avio 2 IP KVM, the world’s first IPMX- and SMPTE ST 2110-IP KVM extender, which brings broadcast-grade quality to KVM by ensuring unparalleled video quality and performance with uncompressed, realtime remote operation on 10GbE networks, and support for 1G network with optional JPEG XS codec. An NMOS-compatible product that delivers video in an industry-standard format suitable for broadcast and high-quality media production, Matrox Avio 2 opens opportunities for new workflows while enabling users to reduce installation costs and complexity. Another new product is the Matrox Vion IP video gateway, which simplifies working with IP video in many environments. To solve the common problem of moving from one IP video format to another, Vion provides low-latency multichannel encoding, decoding, transcoding, and processing of 4:2:2 10-bit broadcast video as well as 4:4:4 RGB desktop video, with support for standard protocols such as SRT, RTSP, NDI and IPMX. Also designed for ST 2110 and IPMX workflows, the PoE-enabled Matrox ConvertIP video converter/encoder/decoder is a practical and cost-effective solution for integrating the latest IP video formats into existing SDI video infrastructure and 1/10/25GbE data networks. The Matrox DSX LE5 D25 LP and DSX LE6 D100 network interface controller (NIC) cards, the latest additions to the Matrox DSX Developer products lineup of SMPTE ST 2110 cards, power flexible, cost-effective products enabling the broadcast and pro-AV industries’ shift to IP workflows. Another show highlight, the Matrox ORIGIN asynchronous media framework, allows broadcasters and developers to re-architect tier 1-capable live production media facilities to run on standard IT infrastructure at any scale, whether on-prem or in the cloud. Visitors to the Matrox Video booth 7.B15 can see a demo of Matrox ORIGIN powering live workflows that are widely considered impossible when using IT equipment. Matrox ORIGIN will support a large-scale production workflow of 52 live streams, complete with graphics, DVEs, clips, switching, and audio, architected for a no single point of failure, and running on multiple systems in AWS across different availability zones — all in uncompressed. The continually expanding ecosystem of Matrox ORIGIN partners includes industry leaders InSync Technology, Pebble Beach Systems, RT Software, Telos Alliance, and Visual Research. Attendees can also see Matrox ORIGIN in action on Sept. 14, at 11 a.m. CET, in room G106, at the IBC-exclusive seminar, “Your Complete Blueprint for the IT Revolution in Live Production.” The seminar will include a discussion about the future of IT for live production, as well as a presentation about the unique Matrox ORIGIN approach, its architecture, and the latest features and capabilities. After the session, attendees can speak with Matrox Video experts and get technical insights. These and other Matrox Video products stand out for their longevity, scalability, performance, and support for open standards.
