Matrox Announces Complimentary 90-Day Trial of Maevex 6020 Remote Recorder to Support Distance Working and Learning Initiatives

The Panopto-Certified Matrox Maevex 6020 Appliance Provides Businesses and Schools With an Easy-to-Use, Best-in-Class Encoder to Live Stream and Record High-Quality Corporate and Instructional Video Content

MONTREAL —April 2, 2020 — Matrox® today announces a complimentary 90-day trial of the Matrox Maevex 6020 Remote Recorder to assist businesses and academic institutions in their transition to remote working and learning platforms. Fully integrated and certified with the Panopto™ video platform, Maevex 6020 provides users with best-in-class, multi-channel live streaming and video recording in a powerful, compact, and autonomous appliance. This plug-and-play encoder/recorder requires a simple one-time setup and configuration, ensuring the fastest and easiest turnaround for organizations and schools to get online from any location.

Deployment-Friendly, On and Off Premises

In an effort to maintain business and instructional continuity due to COVID-19, enterprises and universities are expanding their services by migrating in-person communications, trainings, and teachings to online live streaming and video on demand (VOD). Maevex 6020 streamlines this transition by seamlessly enabling high-quality recordings and webcasts from limited-access conference rooms, lecture halls, high-performance laboratories, and purpose-built studios. As a non-Windows dedicated appliance—and in a form factor as little as a quarter of the size of other comparable products on the market—Maevex 6020 is a highly reliable device that can also deliver broadcast-quality video from off-site locations including an employee’s or professor’s office or home. In addition, recordings are available immediately after the session and as part of a larger, secure, and searchable video library for later review, reference, and/or training purposes.

“Matrox’s initiative is a direct response to the challenges that institutions are currently facing during these unprecedented times,” said Sean Gorman, COO of Panopto. “We share the same belief in helping organizations and schools as they look to quickly and swiftly move their business and instructional communications online. The Matrox and Panopto partnership provides a dependable, easy-to-use video solution to offer active and ongoing support to employees, faculty, and students, whether it’s through meetings, live events, how-to videos/trainings, lectures, and/or tutorials.”

“Dealing with remote productivity for organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic is demonstrating that private networks and the cloud are handling massive concurrent live and on-demand quality media even during this surge in traffic,” said Samuel Recine, vice president of sales for the Americas and Asia Pacific in the Matrox AV/IT Group. “These working models will have enduring benefits to organizations, and Matrox predicts that the corresponding surge in the video assets created by organizations will increasingly benefit from advanced video management systems, such as Panopto. Alongside Panopto’s own 90-day complimentary access program, the Maevex 6020 trial is a great and easy way to get started.”

The free 90-day trial of the Maevex 6020 Remote Recorder is available until July 1st, 2020. To learn more about this offer, contact Matrox
