Matrox ConductIP Media Routing Appliance

Matrox ConductIP Media Routing Appliance gives broadcast and ProAV engineers one place to see what is happening across an IP media network. It discovers, monitors, and routes AMWA NMOS-enabled SMPTE ST 2110 and IPMX devices and signals, providing a live view of connected video, audio, and ancillary data streams.

ConductIP is designed to work with both native IP equipment and media converted from existing broadcast or ProAV systems. Its web-based interface keeps device discovery, routing, monitoring, and system organization together, which is useful when an installation starts small and grows into a larger multi-device network.

Highlights

• NMOS-based media routing – discovers, monitors, and routes supported SMPTE ST 2110 and IPMX devices
• Real-time network overview – shows connected media and device activity from one interface
• Video, audio, and ancillary data management – handles several media types across the same IP installation
• Compressed and uncompressed workflows – supports different network bandwidth requirements
• Web-based operation – provides access from any network-connected device with a web browser
• Multi-user management – supports administrator and user-rights control for shared systems

Why It Helps

Once an IP media network starts carrying several sources and destinations, the difficult part is often not moving the signal. It is knowing what is connected, where each stream is going, and how the devices relate to one another. ConductIP puts that information into one working view instead of making engineers manage every endpoint separately.

The system is also useful during a gradual move from baseband to IP. Existing broadcast or ProAV equipment can remain part of the workflow when it is converted into the network, while native IP devices can be managed alongside it. That gives facilities more freedom to expand without replacing everything at once.

Because ConductIP uses a browser-based interface, authorized users can reach the system from devices already connected to the network. There is no need to build the workflow around a single dedicated control station, and user permissions can be set around the people who actually need access.

System Characteristics

• Centralized IP media visibility keeps routing, monitoring, and device discovery in one place
• Open-standard device support works with NMOS-enabled SMPTE ST 2110 and IPMX equipment
• Mixed-media workflow support handles native IP sources and converted broadcast or ProAV signals
• Scalable network operation supports both smaller installations and larger multi-device environments
• Flexible bandwidth options accommodate uncompressed and compressed media networks
• Multi-user administration lets system access be organized around engineering and operational roles
