Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I convert SDI to ST 2110 without a total network overhaul?
ConvertIP acts as a universal gateway that adapts to your existing setup. You can transmit high-quality compressed JPEG XS signals over your current network with sub-frame latency. As your requirements grow, ConvertIP allows you to seamlessly scale toward uncompressed 25GbE workflows by adding a dedicated network at your own pace. Each ConvertIP device can also be configured as either a transmitter or receiver, so you only buy what your workflow needs.
Q: Is this truly "Plug-and-Play" with my existing broadcast controller?
Yes. ConvertIP integrates natively via NMOS IS-04 and IS-05. Devices are automatically discovered and registered by your network controller the moment they are connected, providing the familiar experience of traditional SDI routing in an IP environment. ConvertIP Manager software also lets you manage multi-unit installations, routing, and firmware updates from a single interface.
Q: We already have HDMI and HDBaseT sources. Does ConvertIP work beyond SDI?
Yes. The ConvertIP series includes dedicated models for HDMI and HDBaseT sources alongside SDI, so you can bring all your signal types onto a single ST 2110 or IPMX network without separate gateway hardware for each format.
Q: How can I integrate ConvertIP Series devices into my control system or application?
The ConvertIP Series is designed for easy integration into control and automation systems. It offers comprehensive APIs and SDKs for full device control, configuration, and monitoring. Pre-built Crestron and Q-SYS modules are also available, enabling fast and straightforward integration into these platforms as well as custom applications.
Q: In what types of deployments does the ConvertIP Series provide the most value?
The ConvertIP Series is particularly well suited for environments where SMPTE ST 2110 workflows are used in a live production studio, and there is a need to distribute that content beyond the studio. It enables seamless conversion and transport of 2110 streams into IPMX for wider distribution, making it ideal for extending high-quality media across campuses, corporate environments, or large facilities. This allows organizations to maintain broadcast-grade production while efficiently delivering content to a broader audience over standard IP networks.
Q: Is ConvertIP available in TAA-compliant configurations?
Yes. TAA-compliant SKUs are available for organisations with government or regulated procurement requirements. Contact a Matrox expert to confirm which models qualify for your deployment.
What Our Trusted Clients Have to Say
"The Matrox ConvertIP Series will serve as a practical foundation for how we want to build and manage our ST 2110 environments going forward, enabling incremental deployment, operational continuity and long-term scalability."
“The venue’s technical team highlighted that the devices added "significant flexibility" for placing media servers and that Matrox's support was instrumental in the firmware and switch compatibility phase.”
“By using ConvertIP, they could use the same hardware for both tasks. The project demonstrated ConvertIP’s "interoperability and future-proof design," allowing the client to switch between compressed and uncompressed modes based on the network and use case.”
