The Matrox
Maevex Series comes bundled with Matrox
PowerStream—a robust software
application that enables remote control
and management of the entire Maevex
network topology.
Installed on a network PC, the command &
control application supports a variety
of features, making Maevex appliances
entirely configurable, manageable, and
updateable via the network and all from
one or more central locations.
PowerStream also allows Decoders to be
assigned to streams. Maevex
administrators can start and stop
streams as well as balance image/stream
quality and bit rate by managing a
variety of encoding and decoding
parameters. Easy adjustment of input and
output resolutions and aspect ratios
provide administrators with additional
flexibility and control.
