This product has been retired.

The VN-Matrix® 225 Series provides real-time transmission of high resolution audio visual content across standard IP networks for live viewing, collaboration, storage, and playback. The VN-Matrix 225 Series encodes video or graphics sources at resolutions up to HD or WUXGA, streams the video and audio over an IP network, then decodes the content back to the original source resolution. VN-Matrix applies Extron's PURE3® Codec, a unique wavelet-based compression technology. The VN-Matrix 225 Series offers real-time performance and low latency, making it ideal for remote collaborative and interactive or control applications. It can be deployed in live event streaming and high level collaboration in mission-critical applications with the most demanding image quality requirements.

The VN-Matrix 225 Series can be used on uncorrected networks and provides visually lossless picture quality for large projected images and high resolution graphics.

As a generic solution for streaming video, graphics, audio and control signals over IP, the VN-Matrix 225 simplifies complex systems. Because it supports existing cabling and network infrastructure, the VN-Matrix 225 is economical and easy to deploy. With the scalable VN-Matrix system, you can start small and add additional encoders and decoders later to turn your IP network into a virtual routing matrix switcher that is practically limitless in size.
