Matrox ‘stays in tune’ with SVG Europe Gold sponsorship

Matrox has renewed its Gold sponsorship of SVG Europe.

Donald Sievewright, EMEA sales manager at Matrox, said: “SVG Europe helps us stay in tune with what’s happening in European sports production… and it certainly is a dynamic landscape. People are increasingly looking to use REMI production for all sports, ST2110 is becoming more of a mainstay in OB vans, and we’re seeing growing interest in using cloud production for overflow. Besides all that, on the one hand there’s a clear desire to start broadcasting more events from lower leagues, and on the other hand, broadcasters are gearing up for the Summer Games in Paris, which are just a year away. What a time to be in sports production! This year we’re focused on giving our customers everything they need to make the most of those trends.”

To do this, Matrox has recently released the Luma Pro Series of graphics cards, powered by Intel Arc GPUs. Engineered to power digital signage and video wall systems, the low-profile Luma A310FP and the standard-height Luma A380P offer flexibility, supporting up to two 8Kp60, two 5Kp120, or four 5Kp60 DisplayPort 2.1 monitors. They can also be combined to drive a high-density-output video wall of up to 16 synchronised 5Kp60 displays.

The company has also joined the Panasonic Kairos Alliance, with the ConvertIP DSS SDI/IP converter proven compatible with Panasonic’s all-IP Kairos live video production platform.

ConvertIP DSS makes it possible to integrate traditional SDI signalling and processing into a SMPTE ST2110 environment, thereby bridging the gap between the Kairos and SDI devices. With ConvertIP DSS in the Kairos workflow, Kairos users can drive SDI monitors or ingest SDI signals into their vision mixer during live productions and traditional broadcasts.
