Overview:
Matrox ConvertIP DRS is a compact, standalone ST 2110 and IPMX encoder/decoder device. It features 12G-SDI, genlock, and three RJ45 ports on a single device. ConvertIP DRS is designed for 1G AV workflows and is optimal for an ultra-low latency experience. The device can receive power over Ethernet through its RJ45 connection, or it can be powered through an optional power supply unit. Both can be used simultaneously to deliver power redundancy.
Unmatched Flexibility
ConvertIP DRS can be configured as either a transmitter or receiver, providing ultimate flexibility and making it ideal for dynamic environments and inventory management. This all-in-one functionality simplifies deployment and reduces the need for additional hardware. The on-board scaler allows for scaling, color space and frame rate conversion to easily conform broadcast to computer based content. Control interfaces include webpage interface, dedicated ConvertIP Manager application, private REST API along with NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 APIs. Plus, its fanless, quiet, and compact design means you can install it anywhere—whether in a server room or behind a monitor.
Compressed IP Transport
Designed to adapt to various workflows, ConvertIP DRS supports zero latency, visually lossless compression options for maximum flexibility:
- Includes the Pro AV codec for visually lossless compression of media over 1G network
- Optional JPEG-XS license for SMPTE ST 2110-22 support
- Transmit and receive audio using SMPTE ST 2110-30 and AES67
- Manage ancillary data such as closed captions, timecode, and other metadata with SMPTE ST 2110-40 support
- Achieves subframe glass-to-glass latencies using either codec
- Offers full IP transport redundancy using ST 2022-7 protocol
- PTP Derived Genlock output
I/O Capabilities
With support for SDI input and output, ConvertIP DRS can seamlessly convert 3G and 12G-SDI to and from ST 2110 or IPMX signals transported over two 2.5GbE media ports. A dedicated 1 GbE control port can optionally be used to send/receive control data.
Additional I/O modes of operation include:
- Quad Split multi-channel display output
- Bridge mode, allowing third party control signals to be passed from media network port to dedicated control port connected to downstream IP devices.
