Matrox Convert DVI lets broadcasters easily and economically get Skype, YouTube, and mobile phone videos to air.<\/p>\n
Montreal, Canada \u2013 March 2, 2010 \u2013 Matrox\u00ae Video Products Group is now shipping Matrox Convert DVI, an SD\/HD SDI scan converter with high-end features priced at just $995 US. Matrox Convert DVI lets broadcasters easily and economically take the computer-based content that is quickly becoming a key part of the nightly news to air. It\u2019s ideal for creating broadcast video from computer applications such as Skype, YouTube, Google Earth, video games, and web browser sessions, as well as citizen journalists\u2019 mobile phone videos.<\/p>\n
\u201cFeedback from broadcast pilot sites has been phenomenal \u2013 the feature set, quality, and ease of use were everything they hoped for,\u201d said Chris Yigit, Matrox technical marketing manager. \u201cThey found the value proposition very impressive. Quality HD-SDI scan converters with genlock typically cost thousands of dollars each and SDI audio embedders are often required. Costs balloon when stations require multiple units. Matrox Convert DVI is very inexpensive by comparison and allows system audio to be embedded in the SDI signal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Matrox Convert DVI controls are provided via a simple PC-based user interface. By simply dragging a mouse, rather than fiddling with buttons on the unit itself, users can choose to output the entire screen or a region-of-interest of any size. Premium features such as a flicker reduction filter, an underscan mode, customizable presets with user-assignable hotkeys, password protection, and a stand-alone mode ensure optimal flexibility for many different applications.<\/p>\n
