A hoard of awards for Matrox

Matrox Graphics is celebrating taking four of AV Technology’s Best of Show Awards home from InfoComm 2019.

The audio-visual solutions manufacturer went up against a selection of “outstanding” contenders, with Matt Pruznick, editor at AV Technology, describing the judging process as a “painstaking endeavour”.

Matrox Graphics has been manufacturing ASICs, boards, appliances and software products since 1976. The firm received awards for its QuadHead2Go multi-monitor controllers, Extio 3 IP KVM extenders, Maevex 6120 dual 4K enterprise encoder, and Monarch EDGE 4K/multi-HD encoders.

Launched at InfoComm, the QuadHead2Go controllers can drive a single video source across up to four displays, as well as being combined to create “ultra-large-scale” video walls.

The new ‘Aggregator Mode’ of the Extio 3 IP KVM enables users to view multiple systems simultaneously across a remote multi-screen desktop.

The Maevex 6120 encoder provides simultaneous dual 4K capture, encode, stream and record features on a standard Gigabit Ethernet network.

With so many outstanding contenders, the process of narrowing down the list to this select group of winners was a painstaking endeavour

Following InfoComm 2019, the Monarch EDGE is now available for shipping. The solution delivers high-quality video resolutions with flexible streaming and multi-protocol streaming options.

Commenting on the awards, Pruznick says: “Once again, InfoComm brought forth a cascade of ingenuity, and this exuberance for innovation was readily apparent in the breadth of our field of awards entries.”

The awards were decided by a panel of on-site judges including members of the Audio-visual and Integrated Experience Association (AVIXA), which produces the trade show, as well as members of the ‘Certified Technology Specialist’ certification.

Pruznick adds: “With so many outstanding contenders, the process of narrowing down the list to this select group of winners was a painstaking endeavour. It is with the utmost pride that I congratulate the 2019 recipients of the AV Technology’s Best of Show Awards – your products are a shining example of excellence in the industry.
