8 Matrox Maevex 5100 Series – User Guide
Connecting your Maevex Encoder and
Decoder units
How it works
Matrox Maevex Encoder and Decoder units work in conjunction to provide unicast (one-to-one) or
multicast (one-to-many) streaming over an IP network. Using Matrox PowerStream software, you
can manage your entire Maevex network from a single system.
A Matrox Maevex environment is made up of four (4) elements connected to a network:
Source –
A video source connected to an encoder. For example, a source can be a media
player, a computer system, a camera, or an encoder.
Maevex Encoder –
An encoder is needed for each source in your Maevex environment.
An encoder can transmit to a single decoder or to multiple decoders. An IP camera
supporting RTSP transmissions can also be used to encode and transmit a stream.
Maevex Decoder –
A decoder is needed for each output in your environment. A
computer system using VideoLAN® VLC media player as a video player can also be used
to decode the signal from an encoder.
Controller system –
A system connected to the network and running Matrox
PowerStream. A controller system can also be a source.

Maevex Decoder
Matrox Maevex 5100 Series – User Guide 9
Setting up your Maevex environment
Before connecting your units, 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
Make sure all devices (Maevex units and controller system) are on the same subnet
Have at least one video source
Adding an encoder or a decoder unit to your environment
To avoid potential problems,
before
you add a decoder or an encoder unit to your Maevex
environment, perform a factory reset of your unit to reset the IP address, and any other settings that
may prevent you from using the unit in your environment. For more information, see “Resetting your
unit”, page 21.
Managing your passwords
Your PowerStream software, Maevex Encoder unit, and Maevex Decoder unit use passwords for
secure communication. PowerStream uses two types of passwords: the environment password and the
unit password.
Environment password
When you start PowerStream for the first time, you need to provide your environment password.
A Maevex environment has a single password that allows PowerStream to access the units in that
environment. An environment password is
case sensitive
. It can be between 6 and 8 alphanumeric
characters long.
In a
new environment
, you can provide any environment password. Any detected unit
with no password will have its password updated to use the new environment password.
In an
established environment
, use the password already entered for that environment.
Unit password
Each unit has a password. To access a unit, that unit password must match the environment password.
When a new unit is added to the environment, it has no password. You need to manually update that
unit password.
10 Matrox Maevex 5100 Series – User Guide
If a unit has no password, or if a unit password doesn’t match the environment password, that unit is
listed as
Access denied
. You can see the properties of a unit listed as
Access denied
, but you can’t
change them.
Updating your unit password
If a unit is listed as
Access denied
you need to update its password to match the environment
password.
To update a unit password, select the unit tile and click the
Change password
( ) icon of the tile.
If a unit doesn’t have a password (for example, new units or units reset to factory default), you must
enable
Update units that have no password
. If a unit has a password, you need to enable
Update units
that have an existing password
and provide the current unit password for the update to take effect.
After the unit password is updated, the unit is no longer listed as
Access denied
.

Validating network discovery
Maevex units are initially assigned their IP addresses through DHCP (Dynamic Host Control
Protocol). After connecting your devices, we recommend verifying that all your devices are discovered
by the network.
Windows 10/8.1/7
– To make sure all your units are discovered by the network:

If prompted to enable network discovery and file sharing on your network when validating network
discovery, enable these two features by clicking on the prompt at the top of your Windows Explorer
window. These two features must be enabled for PowerStream to detect Maevex units on your subnet.
After validating your connection setup, install Matrox PowerStream software (see “Installing Matrox
PowerStream”, page 26).
Multiple subnet support
Controller systems and computers can detect Maevex units in the same subnet through the
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol. If you have units in different subnets of your
network, you need to validate network discovery in each subnet separately. For more
information on using Maevex units in different subnets in the same Maevex environment,
see “Using multiple subnets” in Matrox PowerStream help.
Validating video and audio quality
Your decoder unit can only output video and audio as good as the quality received by your encoder.
To validate the video and audio quality of your source and content:
Connect the source directly to the monitor and audio output device that will be used by
your decoder.
Use a different source to preview your content.
Use PowerStream to change the local output method on your encoder to
Use pass
through
while a monitor is connected to your encoder.
24 Matrox Maevex 5100 Series – User Guide
To validate the source capture by your encoder and your local output settings:
Use PowerStream to change the local output method on your encoder to
Use confidence
preview
.
Using pass through or confidence preview
For your encoder, PowerStream has two local output options:
Pass through –
When using pass through, your encoder outputs the video and audio
signals of your source directly to your monitor and audio output device. While this is
enabled, the local output settings of your encoder are disabled.
Because the signal is direct from the source to the output devices:
The source uses the EDID of the DVI or HDMI digital monitor connected to the
HDMI OUT connector of your encoder to determine which display mode to use. If
no EDID is detected, the source may disable its video output and capture is
impossible.
The encoder must support the display mode used by the source for capture,
encoding, streaming, or recording to work.
The output settings (such as
Size and transformations
and
Image appearance
) for
your encoder have no effect and are disabled.
If capture isn't working on your encoder, the source video still plays on your
monitor.
No analog video signal is received, so there’s no video output on the VGA connector
(analog video output).
If the HDMI output device connected to your encoder doesn't support audio
output, your HDMI source may disable its audio output. Because no audio is
received at input, there's no audio for the encoder and all decoders connected to this
encoder.
Confidence preview –
When using confidence preview, your encoder uses the
PowerStream video and audio local output and capture settings for your encoder to
output to your video and audio output devices.
While this is enabled:
No monitor needs to be connected to your encoder. The source uses the EDID of the
encoder to determine which display mode to use. The preferred display mode of the
encoder is 1920×1080 @ 60Hz.
The output settings (such as
Size and transformation
and
Image appearance
) are
used to output the video to the monitors.
Matrox Maevex 5100 Series – User Guide 25
The transformations are done directly to the display mode received from the source,
which may be different from the display mode of the encoded stream. For more
information, see Encoding.
Your encoder can output to a DVI or HDMI digital monitor connected to the HDMI
Out connector, to an analog monitor connected to the VGA connector, or to both.
Your encoder outputs the same display mode to both the HDMI Out and VGA
connector.
For its output display mode, you can force a display mode, or you can let the encoder
use the EDID of the monitor detected to determine which display mode to use.
The local output of an encoder isn’t the result of decoding its own encoded video and audio

Problem Poor video quality or video is jerky
(skipping or dropping frames)
1
Cause
PowerStream may not be configured to optimize video or audio quality.
1
Solution
When adjusting your encoder or decoder settings, we recommend starting with the default
values for all your settings and modifying the settings as necessary. For more information, see
Matrox PowerStream help.
2
Cause
High network traffic may be degrading the quality of your stream.
1
Solution
Make sure your network equipment supports the bandwidth required.
Note:
Jerky video may be the result of slow recording. Slow recording causes frames to be
dropped (frames aren’t recorded). If jerky video is caused by frames that were dropped
during recording, the problem can only be fixed by recapturing the video under better
conditions or with different video settings.
To validate the quality of your source, see “Validating video and audio quality”, page 23.

Notes
Your Matrox product supports EDID v1.3 (monitor settings) and DDC-2B
(Plug-and-Play monitor).
The display resolutions available depend on your monitor and PowerStream settings. For
information on the capabilities of your monitor, see your monitor documentation.
If a decoder uses a stream from an encoder located on a different subnet, the quality of
the video output from the decoder may be degraded.
Playback of content with different audio sampling rates may cause issues with third-
party players (such as VLC).
Network performance and features may vary depending on your networking equipment.
For more information, contact your networking equipment vendor.
When transmitting in multicast on a large network, we recommend using a router with
IPv4 multicast addressing support and switches with IGMP v2 support.
Video capture and streaming of protected content isn’t supported.
Slow response from certain routers may cause a slow PowerStream startup.

Appendix B – Providing adequate airflow
Because the body of your unit is used to disperse heat, it requires adequate airflow to ensure proper
operation and to prevent damage. The following provides guidelines for effective airflow around your
unit.
Leave the proper amount of room around your unit –
To prevent airflow restriction, we
recommend allowing
at least
0.75 inches (1.91 cm) of clearance between the top of your
unit and anything above it. More space may be required depending on your
environment.
When your unit is resting on a plain surface, make sure your unit is resting on the
original rubber feet.
Operate your unit in a well ventilated location
– Don’t operate your unit near a heat
source or restrict airflow to your unit (for example, by operating your unit inside a desk
cabinet).
Monitor your ambient temperatures
– Make sure the ambient temperature doesn’t
exceed the maximum recommended temperatures.
For more information on supported operating temperatures, see “Environmental”, page 44.

Appendix C – Mounting your units
This section provides guidelines for mounting your Maevex units in rack mounts or on VESA mounts
using one or multiple mounting kits available from Matrox: the rack mounting kit and the angled
bracket kit.
Mounting guidelines
To prevent damage to your Matrox hardware, read the following guidelines before mounting your
Matrox hardware:
Mounting shelf only
– To install your mounting shelf, fasten it to the rack as per your
rack’s instructions. Head screws compatible with most rack mounts are provided.
Mounting shelf only
– The mounting shelf has existing holes for your Maevex unit that
allow the shelf to be mounted facing forward or backward.
Use a hand screwdriver to carefully tighten each screw. Make sure not to overtighten the
screws.
Don’t stack anything directly over the unit.
Make sure the cables connected to your unit are properly secured and that no tension is
applied to them.
Make sure the ambient temperature doesn’t exceed the maximum recommended
temperatures. For more information, see “Product information”, page 42.
Once your Maevex unit is mounted, you can connect your system, monitors, and devices to your unit.
