The Matrox Mura IPX Series are PCIe ×8 Gen 2.0 cards designed for high-density capture, encode, and decode functionalities, enhancing video walls and operator workstations with advanced video processing and networking capabilities. They support multi-channel 4K/HD/SD encode and decode over standard IP, ideal for control rooms, operation centers, and digital signage systems.
The Mura IPX Series includes various models with different input supports and power consumption levels, such as the MURAIPXI-E4SF with 4× SDI + IP input and the MURAIPXI-E2MF with 2× DisplayPort 1.2 + IP input. The LUMA Pro Series features cards like the Matrox LUMA A380P, supporting up to 2x 8K @60Hz/5K @120Hz or 4x 5K @ 60Hz HDR 12b.
Matrox has validated several systems, motherboards, and chassis to ensure compatibility and optimal performance with their display wall products. Validated systems include Supermicro SYS-551A-T and ASUS Pro WS W790-ACE, among others.
For LUMA Pro Series based display walls, systems must meet specific requirements such as proper ventilation, a minimum of 64 GB of system memory, and the use of fansinks for Mura IPX Series cards in non-validated systems.
Detailed instructions for installing Matrox graphics hardware are provided, including BIOS settings for optimal performance and specific PCIe slot configurations.
Performance considerations for LUMA Pro Series controllers are discussed, emphasizing validated configurations and the maximum number of supported cards.
Validated chassis for Matrox products include Chenbro RM41300 FS81 and Rosewill RSV-L4000U, each supporting a maximum of 7 cards with specific power supply and fan requirements.
Proper ventilation is crucial to prevent elevated temperatures that can reduce system lifespan. Monitoring tools like Matrox IPX Utility and PowerDesk software are recommended for temperature management.
The power supply must accommodate the entire system, including Matrox cards, with a 50% margin on the power supply rating advised for efficiency and reliability.
Ensure add-in cards are securely installed to prevent damage during shipping, following manufacturer guidelines.
System architecture affects performance, with PCI Express Gen-3 providing 8 Gb/s per lane. Proper configuration is necessary to avoid bottlenecks and ensure optimal performance.
The document discusses the importance of understanding system architecture and input types for optimal placement of capture cards in Mura-based Display Walls.
The guide assumes a switched architecture for Mura-based Display Walls but acknowledges lane-based architectures, emphasizing proper configuration based on motherboard capabilities.

Open the catalog to page 9Why choose a validated platform? Matrox display wall products are designed for control rooms, operation centers, and other critical environments that require stable, reliable, and durable solutions. Matrox display wall products work in numerous non-validated, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) motherboards and systems, but only a select few of these off-the-shelf solutions can be thoroughly tested, verified, and validated by Matrox. Choosing a validated platform guarantees a high-quality solution to drive your display wall system. Some of the key benefits of using a Matrox-validated platform include:...
