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), multicast (one-to-many), or multi-unicast (one-to-many unicast) 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:

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 32. 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 should identify the location of each type of expansion slot in your system.

2 Insert your Matrox card

a Position your Matrox card over the expansion slot you've chosen.
b Push the card in firmly and evenly until it's fully seated in the slot.
c Secure the bracket of your Matrox card to the frame of your system.

Diagram showing a green rectangular block with three horizontal lines and a blue upward arrow, no text or symbols present.

Your Matrox card is now installed. If you're installing more than one card, see "Installing multiple cards", page 31. Before restarting your system, connect your devices (see the "Connection setup" section for the card you want to connect). After connecting, restart your system and install your Matrox software.

Installing multiple cards

Appendix B – Providing adequate airflow to your Maevex device

Maevex 6150 Encoder, Maevex 6120 Encoder, Maevex 5150 Encoder, and Maevex 5150 Decoder – Because your device disperses heat, it requires adequate airflow to ensure proper operation and to prevent damage. The following provides guidelines for effective airflow around your device.

• Leave the proper amount of room around your device – To prevent airflow restriction, we recommend allowing at least 0.75 inches (1.91 cm) of clearance between the top of your device and anything above it. More space may be required depending on your environment.
  When your device is resting on a plain surface, make sure your device is resting on the original rubber feet. If your device is being rack mounted, remove the rubber feet.
• Operate your device in a well ventilated location – Don’t operate your device near a heat source or restrict airflow to your device (for example, by operating your device 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 60.
