Matrox Video will showcase its vision for the future of live production at NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, April 19-22, highlighting how broadcasters and media organisations can evolve toward modern, software-defined infrastructures designed to enhance operational flexibility and efficiency. At booth N2451, the company will present its portfolio of devices powering end-to-end broadcast workflows, linking today’s open standards-based IP infrastructures with the software-defined production models shaping the future.
At the center of Matrox Video’s NAB presence is Matrox ORIGIN, an asynchronous media framework and deployment-ready foundation for the European Broadcasting Union’s (EBU) Dynamic Media Facility (DMF) vision. Running on standard IT infrastructure—on-premises or in the cloud—Matrox ORIGIN replaces bespoke hardware interconnected by clocked, synchronous protocols such as ST 2110 or SDI with distributed media services operating in COTS environments. At its core, Matrox ORIGIN Fabric provides an MXL-compatible, uncompressed media exchange layer that enables secure, application-level content sharing across vendors.
By decoupling media processing from dedicated hardware and combining high-performance transport with integrated control, Matrox ORIGIN enables low-latency, resilient, and highly scalable workflows, empowering customers to operationalise the DMF model today, far beyond transport alone.
“The broadcast industry is moving toward software-defined and IP-based production models,” said Alberto Cieri, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Matrox Video. “With Matrox ORIGIN and our comprehensive IP portfolio, we enable customers to achieve greater flexibility and operational efficiency while maintaining the performance and reliability expected in live broadcast environments.”
Complementing Matrox ORIGIN at NAB is Matrox Video’s IP-based production tools that support live production workflows from capture through delivery. This includes Matrox Monarch EDGE for secure, low-latency encoding and decoding for remote production and distribution workflows; Matrox ConvertIP, enabling zero-latency bridging between SDI and ST 2110/IPMX workflows; and Matrox Vion, a multi-channel 4K IP gateway for encoding, decoding, transcoding, and cross-conversion across live and cloud production environment; and Matrox Avio 2, an ST 2110/IPMX and NMOS-enabled IP KVM extender supporting high-resolution extension over standard networks. Together, these devices provide practical, scalable pathways to IP within existing infrastructures.
The portfolio is further complemented by Matrox Video’s broadcast developer solutions, including SMPTE ST 2110 network interface cards, SDI input/output video cards, and high-density H.264 encoders and decoders.
As Matrox Video marks 50 years of innovation, the company reinforces its position as a trusted supplier of open, interoperable IP production technologies. With devices supporting IPMX, SMPTE ST 2110, and NMOS, Matrox Video enables seamless integration within multi-vendor environments while upholding its legacy of reliability and engineering excellence.
