At NAB Show 2026, Tim Albright caught up with Daniel Maloney to explore how Matrox is pushing remote production and IP workflows further into the mainstream. The spotlight this year is on the Monarch Edge encoder, now positioned at the center of a growing partner-driven ecosystem designed for scalable REMI production.
Rather than operating in isolation, Monarch Edge is being showcased alongside cloud and connectivity partners like GlobalM. The result is a flexible, high-bandwidth contribution workflow capable of moving multi-channel HD signals into the cloud even in challenging network environments. Integrated with production platforms from Ross Video and satellite connectivity via Eutelsat, the focus is clear: collaborative, distributed production at scale.
Matrox is also doubling down on IP with its ConvertIP lineup, bridging SMPTE 2110 and IPMX standards. By translating SDI and HDMI into IP-based workflows, these converters aim to bring broadcast-grade efficiency into the Pro AV space. Built on open standards like NMOS, the approach emphasizes interoperability, enabling mixed-vendor environments to operate seamlessly across networks without locking users into proprietary ecosystems.
Perhaps the most forward-looking piece is Matrox’s push into unified network infrastructure. By enabling KVM routing over the same IPMX and 2110 backbone used for media, the company is collapsing traditionally separate systems into a single, flexible network. The introduction of USB-routable control over IP signals a shift toward more integrated production environments, where operators, content, and control all live on the same fabric.
From cloud-enabled contribution to converged AV and broadcast workflows, Matrox’s NAB 2026 presence underscores a bigger trend: the lines between production, AV, and IT networks are disappearing fast.
