Intuitive software and API offer complete network reach and control over all Maevex™ encoders and decoders
Montreal, CA — January 30, 2017 — Coinciding with the recent release of
the Matrox® Maevex™ 6100 quad encoder card, Matrox Graphics today
announced the release of the powerfully advanced Matrox PowerStream
Plus™ management application and API. A game-changer in terms of
software and system capabilities, PowerStream Plus provides complete
reach and control over the entire Maevex network topology through an
easy-to-use interface.
PowerStream Plus AV-over-IP management software
Complementary to the entire Maevex line of H.264-based encoding and
decoding products, including both Maevex 5100 and multiple-4K-enabled
6100 Series devices, PowerStream Plus offers users plug-and-play
functionality and full access to the complete feature set immediately
after download. With an easy-to-use interface familiar to users,
PowerStream Plus delivers discovery and remote control over all
network-connected units from one central location.
PowerStream Plus features include:
— Auto discovery of any Maevex unit on the subnet, and easy manual addition for units outside the subnet.
— User management and feature control with credentialed profiles for any system operator.
— Fine-tuned encode/decode parameters, protocols (RTP, RTSP, MPEG2.TS,
with RTMP coming soon) and adjustable bitrates for any stream.
— Manageable inputs and Chroma sub-sampling pixel formats.
— Preconfigured composite outputs such as picture-in-picture (PIP) and mosaic.
— Record live or schedule recording to a shared network drive or NAS.
— Identify and group encoders and/or decoders; adjust settings for multiple selected units and configure to the same parameters.
— Manage and save configurations to easily apply to other devices.
PowerStream Plus is a Windows®-based platform and will soon work on Linux® and other operating systems.
A separate Maevex Firmware Updater tool ensures you are always running
the most current version of the software and allows for system-wide or
chosen deployment from a single software tool.
PowerStream Plus API
For those looking for customized control, the PowerStream Plus API
grants integrators and developers command-level access to build their
own Maevex control application or to integrate Maevex functionality in
existing or even third-party applications. Based on the well known .NET
framework (4.5 or higher) and featuring the full PowerStream Plus
application feature set, the PowerStream Plus API supports a wide range
of customization options.

level of intricacy is up to you; for example, simple coding will allow
you to integrate the existing source selection feature and build a
straightforward switching grid to change channels via a touchscreen,”
offered Ron Berty, business development manager, Matrox Graphics. “At
the same time, if you’re an integrator in need of deeper
customizations, you can incorporate any one or multiple PowerStream
Plus features into existing control applications, or even develop your
own software application from the ground-up based on the PowerStream
Plus API.”
Availability
The Matrox PowerStream Plus application is available for free download
from the Matrox website. The PowerStream Plus API is available to
integrators and developers upon request.
