Matrox Shipping VS4 Quad HD Card For Telestream

Matrox today announced that the Matrox VS4 four-channel HD capture card for use with Telestream Wirecast for Windows webcasting software is now available worldwide. In a single PCIe slot, Matrox VS4 provides up to four independent HD-SDI inputs with up to eight embedded audio channels per SDI source. Matrox VS4 not only sends video feeds to Wirecast for streaming, it simultaneously provides ISO recording of all the original video and audio feeds to disk — ready for post-event editing.

“A key feature that many Wirecast users have asked for is ISO capture,” said Filippa Hasselstrom, Wirecast product manager at Telestream. “Now that feature is a reality, only with Matrox VS4. We’re excited to bring this turnkey system to sports groups, churches, schools, and other live event producers.”

Wayne Andrews, product manager at Matrox, added: “We’ve worked with leading systems builders around the world to certify reliable solutions that give creative professionals the tools they need for online video streaming with the production values of live television broadcasts. Graphics, titles, transitions, effects, scoreboards, green screen keying, 3D virtual sets and many other professional touches are easy to incorporate using Wirecast’s intuitive interface and onsite set-up is effortless — just hook up cameras, start Wirecast, and stream.”

Priced at $1,495 not including local taxes and delivery, Matrox VS4 is now available through a worldwide network of authorized dealers. Full turnkey HD streaming production systems are available from some certified systems builders starting at under $5,000.
