Matrox Video is introducing Unreal Engine plug-in support with its DSX LE5, DSX LE6 Series, and X.mio5 12G SDI and SMPTE ST 2110 Network Interface Controller (NIC) cards.
The plug-in supports both Windows and Linux environments, and enables creatives to develop high-resolution, broadcast-grade virtual production and virtual studio workflows using Unreal Engine 5.5.
Matrox Video 12G SDI NICs support up to 12 reconfigurable SDI inputs and outputs, with up to four 12G inputs and four 12G outputs, and an additional four reconfigurable 3G SDI I/Os.
In addition, for both SDI and ST 2110, Matrox Video’s onboard Motion Adaptive De-interlacer ensures that Unreal Engine receives progressive video inputs from interlaced sources, improving image quality and consistency across live and recorded content, said the company.
Matrox Video is also offering entry-level hardware for studios migrating to open standards-based SDI and AV-over-IP ST 2110 workflows. The Matrox Video NIC cards simplify network and PTP integration while easing the migration from SDI/HDMI to IP.
“We’re excited to offer the Unreal Engine plug-in to our proven SDI and ST 2110 product families,” said Francesco Scartozzi, vice president of sales and business development at Matrox Video. “OEMs and integrators can now leverage our hardware to create powerful, synchronised, high-fidelity pipelines for live production, XR stages, and virtual sets.”
