FAQ

1. Our current AV-over-IP solution is congesting our IT network. How does the Maevex MGX Series prevent this?
   Heavy media traffic often forces costly infrastructure upgrades. The Maevex MGX Series solves this by leveraging Matrox IQ Mode, an intelligent optimization layer that delivers pristine 4Kp60 video at up to 1/20th the bandwidth of leading competitors. You get the same flawless performance with a drastically smaller network footprint.
2. What exactly is Matrox IQ Mode?
   Matrox IQ Mode is our proprietary encoding optimization built to eliminate traditional AV trade-offs. It empowers the Maevex MGX Series to deliver premium 4:4:4 video quality and an imperceptible low latency at exceptionally low bitrates—typically ~50 Mbps or less. It gives you elite, mission-critical performance without overwhelming your infrastructure.
3. Do I need to purchase extra hardware or licenses for keyboard, mouse, and webcam functionality?
   No. Many competitors lock interactive features behind recurring licenses or require you to buy completely separate hardware. The Maevex MGX Series natively includes full remote desktop control, seamless USB peripheral routing, and—crucially—virtual webcam support right out of the box. This built-in functionality allows operators to seamlessly command remote sources without complicating your architecture.
4. How can I ensure my deployment won't be trapped by vendor lock-in?
   We built the Maevex MGX Series on open standards to guarantee true interoperability. It is fully IPMX-ready and utilizes NMOS for routing and control, ensuring it integrates perfectly with your other standards-based equipment. However, when your deployment requires pushing beyond standard network limitations, you can activate Matrox IQ Mode to drastically reduce latency while maintaining that flexible, open architecture.
5. Can the MGX Series handle complex multi-stream setups and expansive displays?
   Yes. Beyond standard one-to-one streaming, the Maevex MGX Series is built for versatile mission-critical workflows. It effortlessly scales from local 4K encoding to synchronizing multi-stream decoding for large control room video walls, allowing you to adapt the hardware to your exact operational layout.
6. How difficult is it to manage and configure multiple endpoints across a large campus?
   Managing disjointed systems is a massive drain on IT resources. We streamline this with the Matrox Central Manager for centralized discovery and updating, alongside a dedicated WebUI and full REST API. For complex routing, the MGX works flawlessly with our ConductIP software or any NMOS controller you choose.
