Network Requirements
VN-MATRIX uses highly efficient compression algorithms to minimize the amount of data needed to
be transported across the network.
It is, however, crucial to the effective operation of VN-MATRIX that sufficient data throughput can be
achieved, especially where multiple sources are being encoded.
The efficiency of a network will be directly affected by the speed and configuration of each element
within its infrastructure, e.g. switchers and routers. VN-MATRIX will achieve optimum transmission
results over a dedicated 1Gbps network (Gigabit Ethernet).
