The Matrox X.mio3 IP video board was designed to help broadcast equipment manufacturers meet the challenges of the SDI to IP transition. It is a half-height, half-length PCIe card that offers multi-channel video I/O over 10 GbE with IP encapsulation of HD and 3G video. The card offers a total of four IP inputs and four IP outputs. The stream content conforms either to the SMPTE 2022-6 or the SMPTE ST 2110 specification. SMPTE ST 2022-7 is supported in both modes.

DSX LE 4 IP cards have the same capabilities as their X.mio3 counterparts, but lack an onboard video mixer, so DVE is not usable on those boards. Whenever X.mio3 IP is mentioned in this document, the same is true for DSX LE 4 IP.

The card contains two enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) slots, or "bays". In the lower bay is SFP A, and hosts input and output channels 1 through 4. The upper bay houses SFP B, which hosts all of the redundant channels used with SMPTE ST 2022-7. The board does not have any SDI inputs or outputs. There is one Mini-BNC connector used to connect the card to the house genlock signal. However, the card can also be locked to a SMPTE ST 2059 conform time signal, sent via the SFPs.

Be aware that SFPs come in two flavors:

Short range (SR, 850 nm), and
Long range (LR, 1310 nm).

In general, a cable may only connect two SFPs of the same type. In addition, please be aware that the SFP should not be constantly switched in and out of the X.mio3 IP card, as the warranty on the card may be voided if this occurs more than 40 times.

Key Features

Dual SFP+ cages for a total of four video inputs and four video outputs
IP (SMPTE ST 2059 PTP) and analog blackburst timing reference
Guaranteed non-bursty packet transmission
Onboard multi-channel Up/Down/Cross scaler
Onboard multi-layer compositor

Matrox X.mio3 IP Configuration and IP Properties

The main video properties of the IP input channels are very similar to live input channels on a Matrox card. These properties are accessible in the Video Input: Live Input section of Viz Configuration.

Fill and Key Channel Mapping

When an output channel uses the alpha channel, a key channel is created. This is always the next numbered output channel:

Fill is on output 1, and key is on output 2.
Fill is on output 3, and key is on output 4.

Note: It is possible for a dual channel setup to use independent output channels on one SFP, for example 1 and 2. In this case, the Use alpha property must be disabled for both channels.

Default IP Properties

The default IP configuration is meant to serve as placeholder only. It is required to change those default values to match your internal IP landscape. All IP related settings were moved to a separate configuration file. To get the file, Viz Engine must be started at least once. After that, the configuration can be changed using the commands mentioned below, or by editing the file ipconfig.xml, located in the ProgramData directory of Viz Engine. The manual step is necessary for all settings not linked to a command. Please refer to the section below for further information.

Configuration Settings

The configuration of the IP settings was moved to an XML file containing IP relevant parameters only.

Note: When editing the XML file, do not delete any tags and only edit values between <tag> and </tag>.

Change IP Properties

Although the IP properties may be changed by editing the configuration file directly, the IP address and port numbers can also be set via the command line interface. Because channel numbering is zero-based here, Output Channel 1 is referred to as VIDEOOUT_0. To check the currently configured values call the command using GET (instead of SET) without parameters.
