Matrox® Mura IPX 4K capture and IP encode/decode cards feature four HDMI®, four SDI, or two 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.
