About Matrox ConductIP

Transitioning your equipment installation to IP does not have to be expensive or complicated.
With Matrox® ConductIP, you can discover, monitor, and route any AMWA NMOS-enabled
SMPTE ST 2110 or IPMX-ready device or signal. ConductIP is available as a web server-based
application packaged in a small-form factor appliance.
ConductIP gives you a real-time, comprehensive view of all media content on your IP network
while allowing you to organize devices based on your unique setup. Designed to simplify con-
tent distribution in AV networks of any size, ConductIP enables you to manage video, audio,
and ancillary data streams, whether they come from native IP devices or are converted from
your existing broadcast and ProAV equipment.

Matrox ConductIP terminology

This section provides short definitions of some of the terms commonly used in this documen-
tation and in the ConductIP user interface. Whenever possible, our terminology attempts to be
consistent with the official NMOS (Networked Media Open Specifications) terminology:
• Devices: These are physical devices on the network that are NMOS compliant, can be
seen by ConductIP, and whose video/audio/ancillary data can be routed in the Con-
ductIP user interface (e.g. Matrox ConvertIP devices).
In ConductIP, devices are shown as rectangles (
• Groups: These are groups of senders or receivers. A natural group, as defined by
NMOS, includes all three types of streams (audio/video/ancillary data). ConductIP
allows you to go beyond this specification and create virtual groups containing the
streams you choose.
In ConductIP, groups are shown as rectangles with rounded corners (
• Senders (Tx): A sender is an NMOS resource that transmits a single video, audio, or
ancillary data stream to a receiver. For ConductIP, the term may also indicate a device
or a group that contains several senders. In the Matrox ConductIP user interface and
documentation, the abbreviation "Tx" may be used, depending on the context.
In ConductIP, senders are shown as rectangles with two rounded corners (
• Receivers (Rx): A receiver is an NMOS resource that receives a single video, audio, or
ancillary data stream from a sender. For ConductIP, the term may also indicate a
device or a group that contains several receivers. In the Matrox ConductIP user inter-
face and documentation, the abbreviation "Rx" may be used depending on the context.
In ConductIP, receivers are shown as rectangles with two rounded corners (
