System Description
MAVIX, the technology world leader in digital surveillance solutions over IP
networks, envisioned and implemented the right architecture for integrated digital
solutions over IP infrastructures, the “Virtual Matrix”.
The Virtual Matrix is a set of protocols algorithms and mechanisms that allow
unlimited number of sources to connect to unlimited number of targets over an IP
layer. The sources and targets connect in a peer-to-peer fashion, and any IP entity in
the network may act as both a source and a target, thus allowing bi-directional links.
In addition the Virtual Matrix includes a complete set of keep-alive & recovery
protocols that assure the resilience of the implementation.
The Virtual Matrix is the only field proven solution for small, medium and large
surveillance installations available in the market today, and it has been successfully
implemented in innumerable installations all over the world during the last 5 years.
MAVIX has introduced the first truly integrated solution for Surveillance
applications. This solution includes the MediaRacer family of multimedia gateways,
