Bitcentral has integrated the Matrox X.mio card, part of the Matrox DSX family of developer products, as the hardware engine for Précis, its digital news production system.
Précis delivers a fully integrated, end-to-end, open architecture solution that eliminates videotape and dozens of steps in the news management workflow. The file-based workflow solution is browser-based and scalable.
While in the past systems were limited to the MPEG-2 format for ingest and playout, Matrox’s hardware engine now allows the Précis system to embrace non-proprietary MXF, DV and MPEG-4 formats as well as proprietary MXF, XDCAM and P2 formats natively.
