Matrox safety information

To ensure safe and reliable operation of your Matrox product, to avoid personal injury, and to prevent

damage to your computer or Matrox hardware, read the following guidelines.

Installation and operation



Read and retain all instructions. Only use your Matrox product according to the

instructions, operating ranges, and guidelines provided in the Matrox user guide and

other related Matrox documentation. Failure to follow these instructions could result in

damage to your product or injury to the user or installer.



Don’t expose your Matrox product to rain, water, condensation, or moisture.



Always turn off your computer, unplug it, then wait for it to cool before touching any of

the internal parts of your computer or installing your Matrox product.



Static electricity can severely damage electronic parts. Before touching any electronic

parts, drain static electricity from your body (for example, by touching the metal frame

of your computer).



When handling a card, carefully hold it by its edges and avoid touching its circuitry.



Don’t stack devices or place devices so close together that they’re subject to recirculated

or preheated air.



Don’t operate your system or Matrox product near a heat source or restrict airflow to

your system, and make sure the ambient temperature doesn’t exceed the maximum

recommended temperatures. Don’t block ventilation holes on your unit or system.

If a power supply (internal or external) was included with your

product



Don’t place the external power supply directly on top of the device.



Only use power supplies originally supplied with the product or use a replacement that’s

approved by Matrox. Don’t use the power supply if it appears to be defective or has a

damaged chassis.



Don’t defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized

plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades

and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your

safety. If the provided plug doesn’t fit into your outlet, consult an electrician to replace

the obsolete outlet.

10 Matrox Maevex Series – User Guide

Getting started

This section provides an overview of your Maevex environment and devices.

Understanding your Maevex environment

Matrox Maevex devices work together to provide unicast (one-to-one) or multicast (one-to-many)

streaming over an IP network. Using Matrox PowerStream Plus software, you can manage your entire

Maevex network from a single system.

A Matrox Maevex environment can be made up of the following elements connected to a network:

Source A video source connected to the input of an encoder. A

controller system can be used as a source.

Maevex 6100 encoder An encoder with multiple input support that can

generate multiple streams and recordings. An encoder

can stream to one or more decoders.

Maevex 5150 encoder An encoder with single input support that can generate

a single stream or recording. An encoder can stream to

one or more decoders.

Maevex 5150 decoder A decoder is needed for each stream from an encoder

in your environment.

Third-party decoder Third-party video players (such as VideoLAN

®

VLC

media player) can also be used to decode the signal

from an encoder.

Setting up your Maevex environment

Before connecting your devices, we recommend you:



Have a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server



Have a DNS (Domain Name System) server



Have a controller system



Use at least one output device (monitor or HDTV) to preview your video sources



Have at least one source

Adding an encoder or a decoder to your environment

To avoid potential problems,

before

you add a decoder or an encoder to your Maevex environment,

perform a configuration reset of your device to reset the IP address and any other settings that may

prevent you from using the device in your environment. For more information on performing a

configuration reset of your device, see “Rebooting or resetting your Maevex device”, page 26.

Network attached storage

(NAS)

A NAS device is needed to record a file encoded by a

Maevex encoder.

Controller system A system connected to the network and running Matrox

PowerStream Plus. A controller system can be used as

a source.

Installing and connecting your Maevex

6100 encoder

This section describes how to install and connect your Matrox card. If your Matrox card is already

installed in your system, skip to “Connecting your Maevex 6100 encoder”, page 14. For information

specific to your system, like how to remove its cover, see your system manual.

Before you begin

To avoid personal injury and to prevent damage to your system or Matrox hardware, read the

following guidelines before installing and connecting your Matrox hardware.

Preventing damage to your hardware



While your system is turned off but still plugged in, some electrical current is supplied

to the motherboard. This current may prevent newly installed hardware from working

properly.



Always try to insert or remove your card as straight as possible.



Whenever you change your connection setup, make sure you’re using the correct

connectors and that all connectors are properly fastened.



When connecting devices, make sure the connectors are properly fastened.



Review the safety information provided. For more information, see “Matrox safety

information”, page 5.

Step-by-step installation

1 Choose an expansion slot

Most systems have different types of

expansion slots. Choose a PCI Express® ×8

or ×16 (PCIe®) slot. Your system manual
