Matrox Video joins the ASPEN Community

The ASPEN Community is a coalition of industry-leading manufacturers and end-users who are adopting the ASPEN framework for building state-of-the-art IP facilities.

The development of ASPEN – a framework that provides separated video, audio, and metadata on individual IP multicast streams – has been a collaborative effort between many broadcast industry leaders. The ASPEN Community was founded at IBC 2015 to realise and promote the benefits of deploying the ASPEN format within IP-based broadcast and media facilities through the integration and interoperability of the open format.

“As a leading supplier of board-level technology and comprehensive SDKs to broadcast equipment manufacturers, Matrox is committed to providing the fundamental components needed for the SDI-to-IP transition,” said Alberto Cieri, senior director of sales and marketing, Matrox Video. “Our OEMs will soon be able to capitalise on the advantages of ASPEN as they create next-generation broadcast graphics systems, capture/playout servers and channel-in-a-box systems for IP-based facilities.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Matrox Video into the ASPEN Community. Matrox Video is the first board-level supplier joining the ASPEN Community. With this addition, we can assist other manufacturers to launch products that support ASPEN,” says Mo Goyal, co-chairperson of the ASPEN Community.
