Fuse Technical Group Delivers Unprecedented Experiences With Matrox Video Technology in Las Vegas https://news.broadfield.com/fuse-technical-group-delivers-unprecedented-experiences-with-matrox-video-technology-in-las-vegas/ Tue, 23 Jul 2024 14:00:00 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=29240 In this article from Matrox, they give an overview about how Fuse Technical Group created a one-of-a-kind experience with Matrox Video Technology for the Lax Vegas Sphere. Las Vegas has unveiled a cutting-edge live entertainment venue with a stunning technological setup. The venue features a massive 580,000-square-foot LED exterior and a 160,000-square-foot, 16K resolution wraparound LED screen inside. This screen, paired with spatial audio and 4D effects, creates an unparalleled immersive experience.

The venue’s first show in September 2023 was headlined by a legendary musical act, with multimedia system designer Fuse Technical Group orchestrating the intricate video and lighting systems. Fuse utilized their expertise in SDI and event production to build a system capable of managing 16K video resolution over a complete SMPTE ST 2110 IP backbone, allowing for dynamic live input movement across the LED canvas.

Fuse collaborated closely with Matrox Video to integrate advanced ST 2110 workflows, using Matrox’s ConductIP for routing and orchestration, and ConvertIP devices to convert high-resolution SDI into ST 2110. This collaboration ensured low latency and high-speed network performance. Additionally, Matrox’s Extio 3 IP KVM extenders allowed for efficient remote operation of multiple computers from a single workstation.

The result was a breathtaking show that amazed both the audience and the technical team, demonstrating the powerful synergy between advanced technology and creative vision.

ISE 2024: Matrox Video Shows ConvertIP Transmitters and Receivers in Live Production Environment https://news.broadfield.com/ise-2024-matrox-video-shows-convertip-transmitters-and-receivers-in-live-production-environment/ Wed, 06 Mar 2024 21:30:00 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=28002 In a video from rAVe [PUBS], at ISE 2024, Matrox Video’s Ron Birdie showcased their ConvertIP product in action with the Panasonic KAIROS production platform. The demo utilized a Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) Network for uncompressed 2110 content, ensuring lossless transmission. However, this network comes with a high cost for local content distribution. To mitigate this, Matrox ConvertIP transmitters and receivers convert 2110 content to 1 gig ipmx format, resulting in near-zero latency and visually lossless content at a more affordable price point. Matrox encourages interested parties to explore their ConvertIP solution further by visiting their website or social media channels.

A Tech Double-Take: Two technology solutions used to bring Frameless to ISE 2023 https://news.broadfield.com/a-tech-double-take-two-technology-solutions-used-to-bring-frameless-to-ise-2023/ Tue, 30 Jan 2024 17:09:34 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=27637 The blog post “A Tech Double-Take: Two technology solutions used to bring Frameless to ISE 2023” by Matrox discusses the collaboration between Panasonic Connect Europe, Hive Media Control, Apantac LLC, and Matrox Video to replicate the Frameless immersive art experience at ISE 2023 in Barcelona. The team showcased two different technological approaches: a state-of-the-art AV connection and a fully IP-based and synchronized solution on a 10GB fiber network.

Panasonic used three RQ35 and eight RQ25 3-Chip DLP projectors with pixel-quadrupling technology to create stunning 4K+ visuals at 20000-30500 lumens. The projectors were strategically positioned and equipped with ultra-short throw lenses for minimal space usage. To enhance contrast and color reproduction, a high-contrast fabric screen material developed by LANG AG was applied to the back wall. HIVE media players delivered content via SDI, and Apantac’s Smart Display Module (SDM) input cards ensured a cleaner setup with less hardware.

To demonstrate the potential of IP streaming, Matrox Video provided ConvertIP, IPMX-ready encoders, and decoders. Eleven ConvertIP DSS encoders converted 1080p60 4:2:2 SDI signals to HDMI and fed them to a Netgear 4350 network switch, while eleven ConvertIP DSH decoders delivered HDMI signals to the projectors. The projectors were synchronized through ConvertIP’s PTP network clock.

Panasonic aimed to showcase both traditional AV solutions and the possibilities of AV-over-IP streaming for location-based entertainment. Hartmut Kulessa, European Marketing Manager at Panasonic, highlighted the flexibility and low latency of the IPMX standard, predicting its adoption in live events and fixed installations. The use of SDM cards in projectors demonstrated Panasonic’s commitment to future-proofing products for various applications.

In summary, the collaboration successfully demonstrated the recreation of the Frameless immersive art experience using different technological approaches, emphasizing flexibility, and future-proofing in delivering high-quality, immersive content in various settings.

Your AV Signal Management Questions, Answered https://news.broadfield.com/your-av-signal-management-questions-answered/ Mon, 30 Oct 2023 20:00:00 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=26802 The blog post from Matrox, titled “Your AV Signal Management Questions, Answered,” provides answers to a series of questions related to Matrox ConvertIP transmitters/receivers and their various applications.

SDI signals sent over IP do not require conversion back to SDI at the output. The independence of signal types between the ConvertIP transmitter and receiver is possible due to open standards. It’s important to note that signal timings and resolution must be supported by each signal type. For instance, SDI and HDMI may not always have the same resolution and timing support, but when their capabilities overlap, automatic conversion is possible.

IPMX, like SMPTE ST 2110, manages audio, video, and ancillary data separately. This separation enhances user experience and simplifies interoperability. Additionally, IPMX is built upon existing ST 2110 standards, making it user-friendly and interoperable.

Both IPMX and ST 2110 support a range of workflows, including compressed and uncompressed formats. This flexibility allows users to choose the best option for their specific needs. ConvertIP products offer support for ST 2110 and IPMX in uncompressed, JPEG-XS compressed, and a 1G Pro AV-friendly compressed format.

The ConductIP media routing application provides user rights management with three operator levels: Administrator, Super Operator, and Operator. Administrators have full control over accounts, while Super Operators and Operators have varying levels of access and control over rooms and devices.

ConvertIP can simultaneously dual stream across primary and backup networks in redundancy mode, ensuring zero disruption of the stream by using the ST 2022-7 protocol.

ConvertIP supports various HDR workflows, allowing the conversion of HDR sources to ST 2110 while preserving the HDR content, as well as the conversion of ST 2110 HDR sources to HDMI or SDI for display on compatible monitors.

Although ConvertIP provides a single output, it can be connected to products like Matrox QuadHead2Go for multi-screen configurations, such as a 2×2 display setup.

In terms of audio support, ConvertIP, at its launch, offers support for uncompressed audio. This includes eight channels on HDMI and 16 channels on SDI. Users can contact Matrox for more information regarding support for Dolby E audio transport.

Common applications for ConvertIP include signal monitoring in broadcast and media settings and environments where lossless content and low latency are critical. These applications are found in diverse industries, including live events, stadiums, control rooms, medical facilities, bars and restaurants, military operations, industrial control, education, and healthcare. For instance, in medical environments, ConvertIP can be utilized for various purposes, such as simulation, training, collaboration, monitoring, and more, making the most of existing installations to offer state-of-the-art solutions.
