Video Processing/Capturing Modules

MCX is a next-generation AV-over-IP solution from Black Box. MCX distributes and extends 4K 60 Hz video and audio over IP and is made for 10-Gbps network infrastructures.

Uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 Video

MCX delivers the video quality high-end AV applications require to display eye-catching content: It extends uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 video to an unlimited number of displays without sacrificing latency, video quality or bandwidth. Even better, it supports up to 10-bit HDR using Software-Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE) - the latest software-based AV-over-IP platform for extension and control of AV systems on Ethernet or fiber networks.

Easy, Flexible Deployment

This video extension system is easy to install on a modern network. MCXS7 can be deployed on 10G networks over copper Ethernet.

Zero Latency

This robust video distribution system's glass-to-glass encoding and decoding happen in real-time (0.03 milliseconds). This means you never deal with annoying lag or video delay.

Seamless Switching

MCX switches between video sources in less than 100 milliseconds with no artifacts or screen blink. This means you can switch video content super-fast without any noticeable distortion to your image.

Complete Control

The MCX Web UI gives you complete control over your AV network from your preferred web browser.

Comprehensive Connectivity

You can connect every essential AV distribution device to your MCX through its variety of ports: discrete RS-232, IR, secondary audio channel plus a separate 1-GbE connection.

The TAA-compliant MCX Gen2 DisplayPort Transcoder is an ideal solution for point-to-point secure video conferencing, hotel or convention center displays, multi-monitor broadcasts, distributed video matrix or video wall systems, and remote KVM system control. The transcoder brings all the features of MCX Gen2 encoders and decoders into a single solution, allowing you to configure it for use as either an encoder or decoder and to utilize it in either your 10G Cat6A copper or SFP+ Fiber networking environment. It features a DisplayPort output to provide 4K60 4:4:4 UHD video via a secure latching connector while allowing for either HDMI or DisplayPort inputs. It provides for a complete A/V over IP Distribution solution, transmitting and switching video, audio, IR, RS-232, and USB 2.0 signals throughout your system.

Easy Setup and Management
Connect a transcoder to an AV source (e.g. computer, content player) and to a managed 10-GbE network switch. Connect a transcoder to each screen you want to display the content on and connect it to the same switch. Through the user-friendly MCX Gen2 Controller, you can configure your system and build and manage a video wall. Transcoders can be connected point-to-point for extension-only applications.

Uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 Video
Extend and distribute uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 video to an unlimited number of displays without sacrificing latency, video quality, or bandwidth.

Create Ergonomic Workflows for Operators and Configure as Copper or Fiber
Front-panel configuration buttons and On-Screen Display (OSD) streamline daily workflows.

Zero Latency
High-quality, IP routable, AV extension yields real-time (0.03 milliseconds) glass-to-glass encoding and decoding.

Back USB-B for Encoder or Front 3-Port USB for Decoder
Configure the integrated USB hub of each transcoder for multi-user, control room, or on-demand installations.

Additional Video Out
When used as an Encoder, the local DisplayPort output allows you to view the input source on a separate monitor, sample the video on a loop, then pass it to the network to compare latency.

Works with Optional MCX Gen2 Controller or Control Software
Combine multiple transcoders with one or more 10-Gigabit fiber Ethernet switches to form a distributed video matrix, a multi-viewer system, or a video wall.

MCX Gen2 Encoders and Decoders extend and switch video, audio, RS-232, and USB 2.0 signals, or display all of your sources via built-in video wall management. Ideal for point-to-point secure video conferencing, hotel or convention center displays, multi-monitor broadcasts, distributed video matrix or video wall systems, and remote KVM system control, the encoders/decoders comply with TAA specifications.

Easy Setup - Easy Management
Connect each encoder to an AV source (computer, content player) and connect it to a managed 10-GbE network switch. Connect a decoder to each screen you want to display content on and connect it to the same switch. Use the MCX Gen2 Manager for switching or to build and manage a video wall.

Uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 Video
MCX extends uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 video to an unlimited number of displays without sacrificing video quality, or frame rate. It supports up to 10-bit HDR using Software-Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE), allowing AV and data to exist on the same network without reducing network performance, functionality, or capability.
