LiveOS is a software-based, ST 2110 native solution enabling local, remote, and decentralized live media production. Matrox ORIGIN Fabric gives LiveOS a truly agile and future-ready architecture for on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-native multivendor workflows by the introduction of asynchronous transfers of media between multiple servers and distributed applications on standard network infrastructure. Having Matrox ORIGIN Fabric as the transport backbone breaks the barrier of limited resources on a single server and enables the sharing of resources over multiple servers without latencies.
“The addition of NetOn.Live to the Matrox ORIGIN community marks an exciting milestone in the evolution of live production infrastructure,” said Francesco Scartozzi, Vice President of Sales and Business Development at Matrox Video. “Welcoming LiveOS into the fold reinforces our shared commitment to enabling broadcasters to leverage the benefits of live production software built on an open foundation that is truly scalable and flexible.”
Matrox ORIGIN Fabric is a foundational component of the Matrox ORIGIN framework, recently introduced as a standalone C++ SDK. It enables asynchronous, high-performance media and data exchange across distributed systems using the most efficient available transport method. This makes it an ideal fit for developers, OEMs, and platform providers seeking to scale applications or integrate with ST 2110 workflows in public or private cloud environments.
LiveOS transforms dedicated broadcast hardware, as used in the production control room (PCR), OB truck, ingest center and MCR, into modular software components. With Matrox ORIGIN Fabric, those components communicate and scale seamlessly across hosts and availability zones. Matrox ORIGIN Fabric delivers on the goals outlined in the European Broadcasting Union’s Dynamic Media Facility (DMF) by enabling the sharing of content using shared memory or optimized node-to-node transports. In addition, Matrox Video has implemented support for the EBU Media eXchange Layer (MXL) SDK, allowing different applications running on the same compute instance to share content efficiently.
“For us, this is about flexibility and interoperability without compromise,” said Michel De Wolf, CEO at NetOn.Live. “By integrating Matrox ORIGIN Fabric into LiveOS, we’re giving our users a more powerful, future-proof production platform for on-premises workflows – one that also gives them a clear path to the cloud. It’s a major step forward for live production.”
Together, Matrox Video and NetOn.Live are redefining the boundaries of live production. The combined solution empowers broadcasters to build scalable workflows — whether on-prem or in the cloud. To see the solution in action, visit the NetOn.Live booth 10.A.24 at IBC 2025. Attendees will experience how LiveOS and Matrox ORIGIN Fabric work together to enable a new era of dynamic live production.
