The Avio N2150 delivers uncompressed 5Kp60 4:4:4 video with zero latency over dual 10GbE, making it ideal for high-performance applications. It also enables real-time, visually lossless video over 1GbE or 10GbE using Pro AV or the optional JPEG XS codec — so users can switch instantly between multiple source systems without interrupting their workflow.
Designed for seamless integration with evolving networked infrastructures, Avio 2 is ideal for control rooms, medical applications, broadcast studios, media production, and live events. A single appliance can be configured as either a transmitter or receiver, with SMPTE ST 2022-7 network redundancy for reliable operation.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Achieve multiple performance levels with the same appliance from uncompressed 5Kp60 4:4:4 with zero latency over dual 10GbE, to real-time, visually lossless video over 1GbE using Pro AV or optional JPEG XS.
  • Configure a single appliance as transmitter or receiver, with fiber or copper connectivity (1G or 10G SFPs) and an optional RJ45 control port with PoE+. Supports one-to-one, many-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many setups.
  • Switch instantly between multiple sources for efficient workflow management, with a modern on-screen display (OSD) and programmable hotkeys for fast switching between transmitters.
  • AES 128-bit encryption protects audio, video, and USB signals. Device access is managed through local credentials or Microsoft Active Directory, with HTTPS and digital certificate support for secure communication.
  • Full IPMX and SMPTE ST 2110 compatibility integrates Avio 2 with other standards-based AV-over-IP equipment. NMOS open APIs simplify device discovery and connection management for future-proof installations.
  • Configure through an easy-to-use Web UI, stream firmware updates across devices with Matrox Unified Utility, and build bespoke workflows with full REST API support. OEM white-label options are available.
