Matrox Avio 2: The First IPMX/ST 2110-Based 4K IP KVM for Control Rooms
Matrox has unveiled Avio 2, the first 4K IP KVM for control rooms built on IPMX and ST 2110. This next-generation extender delivers secure, real-time remote access with outstanding image quality and flexibility. It’s a solid fit for control rooms, broadcast operations, healthcare environments, and live production setups.
Stat: By 2026, over 70% of control rooms will shift to software-defined AV-over-IP systems, highlighting the growing demand for open-standard IP KVM solutions.
Why Open Standards Matter in Control Rooms
Traditional KVM systems can be limiting. Proprietary setups are harder to scale and integrate. Avio 2, built on IPMX, ST 2110, and NMOS APIs, allows seamless integration into networked infrastructures—future-proofing your control room AV architecture.
These open standards ensure:
Easier setup and discovery
Interoperability across devices
Simplified device control and management
What Makes Avio 2 Ideal for Control Rooms?
Uncompressed 4Kp60 4:4:4 video over 10GbE
Zero latency for smooth remote operations
Works over 1GbE or 10GbE networks
One device can be set as a Transmitter or a Receiver
Offers both JPEG XS and Colibri compression
Built-in AES 128-bit encryption for data security
Support for ST 2022-7 for network redundancy
Stat: Downtime in mission-critical environments costs an average of $9,000 per minute. Real-time, reliable IP KVMs like Avio 2 help avoid these costly interruptions.
Flexible, Operator-Friendly Workflows
Avio 2 supports dynamic, multi-user workflows—essential in complex control room operations:
Instant source switching
On-screen display (OSD) for quick selection
Hotkeys for rapid transitions
Scalable configurations: one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many
Whether you need one operator to manage multiple systems or several users to share control, Avio 2 fits the setup.
Future-Ready with IPMX/ST 2110
Avio 2 is more than just a KVM extender. It’s designed for the future of AV-over-IP. With IPMX, ST 2110, and NMOS APIs, your control room is ready for growth, interoperability, and evolving use cases.
Q1: How is Avio 2 different from other IP KVMs?
A: Avio 2 is the first IP KVM that supports open standards like IPMX and ST 2110. It offers uncompressed 4Kp60 video, ultra-low latency, and secure remote access for control rooms.
Q2: Can Avio 2 run on existing network setups?
A: Yes. It’s compatible with both 1GbE and 10GbE networks and supports fiber or copper infrastructure.
Q3: Is this solution scalable for large control rooms?
A: Absolutely. Avio 2 supports all major deployment models, including one-to-many and many-to-one, making it suitable for growing control environments.
Q4: How secure is the Avio2?
A: Very secure. It features AES 128-bit encryption, HTTPS support, and integrates with Active Directory® for access control.
