This section provides an overview of your Maevex environment and devices.
Understanding your Maevex environment
Matrox Maevex devices work together to provide unicast (one-to-one), multicast (one-to-many), or
multi-unicast (one-to-many unicast) streaming over an IP network. Using Matrox PowerStream Plus
software, you can manage your entire Maevex network from a single system.
A Matrox Maevex environment can be made up of the following elements connected to a network:
