Broadcast and media professionals are under pressure to create more content for a fragmented audience—all with fewer resources than ever before. The promise of IT and cloud technologies offers a path forward, but traditional broadcast workflows don’t align with how IT systems are designed to operate. Matrox ORIGIN bridges this gap. Instead of simply replicating legacy approaches, it empowers you to run IT infrastructure as it was meant to be used, unlocking unprecedented adaptability, agility, and scalability. By leveraging the massive R&D investments of the IT industry, Matrox ORIGIN enables innovation beyond the limits of traditional broadcast, delivering a system that doesn’t just match legacy capabilities—but surpasses them.
Matrox ORIGIN is an asynchronous media framework designed to empower developers to build software-defined broadcast infrastructure on generic IT equipment—whether on-premises or in the public cloud. It replaces bespoke hardware interconnected with clocked, synchronous protocols like ST 2110 or SDI with applications composed of distributed media services operating in a COTS environment and interconnected via an uncompressed content transfer fabric.
Matrox ORIGIN combines this unique architecture with comprehensive control capabilities, decoupling media processing from the constraints of underlying hardware to deliver exceptional scalability, agility, and redundancy. It enables low-latency, resilient, and highly dynamic media workflows suitable for deployments of any size—including large-scale Tier 1 operations—while allowing best-of-breed component selection.
For media service developers, Matrox ORIGIN’s SDK provides intuitive APIs for building stateless media functions with powerful control interfaces, enabling developers to create services once and repurpose them for various use cases.
For control application developers, Matrox ORIGIN’s REST API offers a powerful, high-level interface for building high-performance and scalable media applications without requiring low-level broadcast development expertise.
