Matrox M264 S4: the world's first four-channel 4K 60p XAVC encoder card

Matrox M264 S4 provides 10-bit H.264 4:2:2 encoding and decoding of up to four 4K 60p channels in PC-based contribution, production or distribution systems.

Matrox Video will premiere in NAB 2019 (stand SL3811) your new M264 S4 encoder card, a new addition to the Matrox M264 family of hardware H.264 encoding cards.

Supports up to four channels of 4K Sony XAVC encoding/decoding y Panasonic AVC-Ultra in a single slot to enable high-density multi-channel 4K workflows on PC-based platforms. Combined with the functionality of Integrated deinterlacing and scaling, the Matrox M264 S4 card provides a simple and cost-effective means of manage 8-bit 4:2:2:2 10-bit and 4:2:0 8-bit workflows.

Broadcast equipment manufacturers will now be able to deliver exceptional encoding/decoding performance using standard PC-based solutions to enable multi-channel broadcast contribution, distribution and production systems, such as video servers, IP multi-viewers, media encoders, transcoders, render farms and much more.

Coding density

Specifically designed for high-density H.264-based encoding/decoding (Baseline Profile to High 10 Intra Profile up to Level 5.2), the Matrox M264 S4 card provides XAVC certified and AVC-Ultra compatible presets. The Matrox M264 S4 card can encode/decode up to four 4Kp50/60 streams of XAVC 4K Intra Class 300/480,

The M264 S4 card can also encode/decode up to four streams of 4Kp60 at 4:2:2 10-bit, 40 streams of HD Long GOP at 4:2:2 10-bit, or 64 streams of HD at 4:2:0 8-bit, with ultra-low power consumption, in the smallest footprint.

Rapid development

The Matrox M264 S4 card is compatible with Matrox DSX SDK software development kit, which features a rich set of powerful media processing modules, including file input/output (I/O), software codecs, and CPU effects, for rapid application and system development. The M264 family of codec cards also provides plug-ins for in-frame H.264 transcoding acceleration. FFMPEG.

Alberto Cieri, director senior de ventas y marketing de Matrox Video, destaca que “la tarjeta codificadora Matrox M264 S4, al igual que sus predecesoras, ofrece soporte XAVC 4K de última generación y certificado por Sony. A medida que la demanda de 4K sigue creciendo, la familia Matrox M264 está equipada para cumplir y superar con facilidad todas las pruebas de esfuerzo de codificación y descodificación, lo que la convierte en la elección de facto para soluciones 4K/HD multicanal basadas en PC que incluyen servidores de vídeo, servidores de producción…”
