Setting up your Maevex environment

Before connecting your devices, we recommend you have the following:
 A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server
A DNS (Domain Name System) server

 A controller system
At least one output device (monitor or HDTV) to preview your video sources

 At least one source
Maevex 6152 decoder - Access to an NTP server

Adding a device to your environment
Before adding a decoder or an encoder to your Maevex environment, we recommend you perform a
configuration reset of your Matrox device. This resets the IP address and any other settings that may
prevent you from using the device in your environment.
An encoder appliance that supports two (2) 4K60 inputs with
HDCP and can generate multiple streams and recordings. An
encoder can stream to one or more decoders.
An encoder appliance that supports two (2) inputs and can
generate multiple streams and recordings. An encoder can
stream to one or more decoders.
An encoder card with multiple input support that can
generate multiple streams and recordings. An encoder can
stream to one or more decoders.
An encoder with single input support that can generate a
single stream or recording. An encoder can stream to one or
more decoders.
A decoder with a single Full HD output that decodes and displays
any Maevex or third-party encoder's RTSP stream that is
available on the network. A decoder is needed for each stream
from an encoder in your environment.
Third-party video players (such as VideoLAN
player) can also be used to decode the signal from an
encoder.
The location (such as a Network Attached Storage (NAS)
device or a network shared folder) used by a Maevex encoder
to record a file.
A system connected to the network and running Matrox
PowerStream Plus software. A controller system can be used
as a source.
