Matrox Maevex 6100 Series: High-Density 4K Encoders & Decoders
4K encoders and decoders with H.264 compression at ultra-low latency.
Don't compromise on video quality or overhaul your network infrastructure. The Matrox Maevex 6100 Series delivers pristine 4K60 capture and H.264 encode, providing flawless-quality AV over your standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet network to minimize deployment costs without requiring specialized AV equipment.
Whether you are routing video across a corporate campus, securely streaming to the cloud, or recording locally, Maevex provides the ultra-low latency and rock-solid reliability required for mission-critical environments like process control rooms, healthcare facilities, government defence applications and public safety combining up to four 4K channels into a single device to reduce your hardware footprint.
Maevex 6152 Quad 4K Encoder
The Maevex 6152 delivers 4K60 input capture and encode, generating up to four 4K streams of flawless AV over standard 1 GbE networks at exceptionally low latency. Built on the ubiquitous H.264 codec with support for six simultaneous streaming protocols (including SRT), this quiet, rack-ready appliance features quad zero-latency pass-through to guarantee your local workflows remain uninterrupted.
Maevex 6122 Dual 4K Encoder
The Maevex 6122 delivers simultaneous dual 4K60 capture, encode, stream, and record—complete with zero-latency pass-through. Perfect for environments needing reliable, secure streaming locally or across the world, it supports multiple protocols to easily navigate complex IT networks without requiring dedicated, proprietary bandwidth.
Maevex 6152 Quad 4K Decoder
Efficiently decode up to four 4K streams, or a multitude of lower-resolution streams, with latency as low as 50 ms. The Maevex 6152 Decoder provides four 4K HDMI outputs with support for multiple streams per display. Easily configure pre-set layout options like Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and securely decode encrypted content sent over the public internet.
Maevex 6100 Quad 4K Encoder (PCIe)
For data centers and custom integrations requiring maximum footprint efficiency, the Maevex 6100 PCIe card drives simultaneous quad 4K capture, encode, stream, and record concurrently from a single slot. Scale effortlessly by deploying multiple cards per system to support high-density control room and enterprise environments.

Flexible AV-over-IP Routing for the Maevex 6100 Series
This workflow applies across the encoder family, supporting multi‑channel AV‑over‑IP transport to both hardware and cloud endpoints. Check the product documentation for model‑specific channel limits and encoding capabilities.
Software & Integration Tools
Deploy, manage, and integrate your 6100 Series appliances with flexible, zero-cost tools designed specifically for system integrators:
- Centralized IT Administration: Utilize included centralized software tools like PowerStream Plus to discover, configure streams, monitor device health, and control large deployments from a single interface—simplifying operations and reducing management overhead without per-node licensing fees.
- Custom API Integration: Leverage a complete range of SDKs and REST APIs to seamlessly integrate 4K video routing into your existing control environments. This allows system integrators to bypass proprietary interfaces and build custom control logic for third-party enterprise systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Does the Maevex 6100 Series lock me into a Matrox-only ecosystem?
No. Because the Maevex 6100 Series utilises industry-standard H.264 compression and broadly adopted protocols (including RTSP, SRT and MPEG-2TS), it is entirely interoperable. You can stream seamlessly to Matrox decoders, third-party software players like VLC, non-Matrox hardware, or directly to cloud-based CDNs and security VMSs, i.e., Genetec and Milestone.
Q2. How does the Maevex 6100 Series handle enterprise network security and isolated networks?
It is built specifically for secure corporate, medical, and defense environments. The series supports standard 802.1x network authentication, HTTPS for device communication, and SRT with AES encryption to protect video streams over the public internet. Additionally, it features dual physical network ports, allowing you separate control of traffic and sensitive media traffic.
Q3. We have limited rack space. How does the Maevex 6100 Series handle high-density encoding?
It is engineered specifically for high-density environments like control rooms and server racks. The series offers exceptional multi-channel performance and value, allowing you to capture, encode, stream, and record up to four 4K inputs simultaneously from a single device. You can choose the standalone appliances, which allow you to fit two quad-4K units side-by-side in a single 1U rack space, or use the single-slot PCIe encoder card to add dense encoding capabilities directly into your existing systems without taxing the host CPU.
Q4. Can I route to multiple destinations and record simultaneously?
Yes. The Maevex 6100 Series features robust multi-protocol support designed for enterprise routing. From a single 4K input, you can simultaneously stream to an internal secure server via SRT, stream to NVRs via RTSP, and push to a cloud-based CDN. At the same time, you can record directly to a local network drive with zero-latency pass-through, ensuring you never lose mission-critical content for compliance, playback, or after-action review.
Q5. I’m located outside of North America; how do I contact Matrox for sales or support?
Matrox Video maintains a global presence with dedicated sales offices and authorized partners located throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
