Matrox Video recently unveiled the X.mio3 12G multi-channel SDI I/O card with on-board video processing, a product company officials say is “designed to help broadcast equipment manufacturers deploy 4K SDI solutions.”
Matrox X.mio3 12G is a half-length PCI Express card that offers two 12G SDI inputs, two 12G SDI outputs and two reconfigurable 3G SDI I/Os allowing for 4K and HD simulcast for broadcast production.
Multi-channel hardware processing “accelerates computation-intensive operations including up/down/cross scaling and compositing for resolutions up-to-4K,” according to a Matrox press release announcing the new product.
“4K is coming fast and some deployments, like production trucks, need a small footprint, one wire SDI solution,” said Alberto Cieri, senior director of sales and marketing for Matrox Video. “X.mio3 12G, coupled with our M264 cards for 4K compression and decompression — including Sony XAVC and Panasonic AVC-Ultra production codecs — make 4K workflows as simple as HD.”
