What is MXnet?
MXnet is a versatile and high-performance ecosystem of networked encoders & decoders designed for the distribution of AV content over a traditional IT network, commonly referred to as AV over IP. Unlike traditional video matrix systems, MXnet is extremely scalable and can handle a large number of AV sources and displays simultaneously, making it suitable for various applications, from small installations to large-scale commercial environments.
