VECTOR 3 VECTORBOX 6000 AND 8000 HD PLAYOUT SYSTEMS BASED ON MATROX DSX PLATFORM
30 May 2006 - Matrox VITE

Playout automation systems with built-in video servers exploit Matrox's "Power of X" architecture and the explosive performance of dedicated hardware to deliver cost-effective, high performance solution to broadcast facilities.

Matrox Video Products Group today announced that Vector 3 has adopted the Matrox X.mio multi-channel input/output card, part of the Matrox DSX family of HD and SD video and audio components, for its new VECTORBOX 6000 and 8000 HD standard and high definition range of playout systems. VECTORBOX systems provide everything a channel needs to go digital including master control room automation, graphics, and a built-in video server - all from 4 rack units. Key features include tapeless workflow with all brands of DV-based NLE, multi-compression codecs including IMX, and support for scheduling, telephone voting/SMS, newsroom and other external systems. The Vector 3 solutions will be demonstrated on the Vector 3 stand 7.201 and the Matrox stand 7.128.

"We have developed with the Matrox DSX platform because we see Matrox as being a key player in bringing innovative hardware and software technologies to the broadcast industry," said Roman Ceano, Vector 3 general manager. "This platform has proved to be a springboard for improving our system performance with direct media ingest and playout from a shared NAS storage over a Gigabit LAN and more powerful graphics, to name but two examples. Sealed black box servers and proprietary video storage systems are clearly no longer the ideal way to build broadcast-quality video equipment. Computer-based technologies, as epitomized by VECTORBOX on the Matrox DSX platforms, provide more cost-effective and flexible solutions."
