warranty does not apply to any non-Matrox hardware products or any software, even if packaged or sold with the

When a Matrox Product or part is replaced, any replacement item becomes the Customer's property and the

replaced item becomes Matrox's property.

6This warranty is valid in any country where Matrox Products are distributed by Matrox and/or its authorized

resellers, dealers or distributors.

7This limited warranty gives the Customer specific legal rights. The Customer may also have other

rights which vary from state to state in the United States, from province to province in Canada, and

from country to country elsewhere in the world.

8For Australian Consumers: The rights described in this warranty are in addition to the statutory rights to

which You may be entitled under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and other applicable Australian

consumer protection laws and regulations. Our Matrox Products come with guarantees that cannot be

excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure

and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are entitled to have the goods

repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major

failure. Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being

repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods.

ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REMEDIES AND

FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY THAT MATROX PRODUCTS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART,

WILL BE FREE FROM INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY,

INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PATENTS, OR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.

2To the extent that this limited warranty is inconsistent with the law of the locality where the Customer

purchases the Matrox Product, this limited warranty shall be deemed modified to be consistent with such

local law. Under such local law, certain limitations of this limited warranty may not apply to the consumer. If

Matrox cannot lawfully disclaim statutory or implied warranties, then to the extent permitted by law, all such

warranties shall be limited in duration to the duration of this express warranty and to repair or replacement

service as determined by Matrox at its sole discretion.

3Matrox disclaims any representation that it will be able to repair any Matrox Product under this warranty or

and exclusive remedies.

Introducing Matrox VS4

This chapter lists the Matrox

VS4 system requirements, and

describes the VS4

documentation.

Chapter 1, Introducing Matrox VS4

Welcome to Matrox VS4

Matrox VS4 is a quad HD-SDI card that lets you record up to four channels

simultaneously using the VS4Recorder Pro stand-alone recording application,

and using Telestream Wirecast or StudioCoast vMix, you can create video

streaming productions as well as record your source feeds.

Matrox VS4 lets you take advantage of professional broadcast video and audio

sources. Using a single PCIe slot, Matrox VS4 provides up to four independent

HD-SDI inputs with up to eight embedded audio channels per source. Because all

inputs on Matrox VS4 are independent, you can use HD and SD sources in the

same production. Full-size BNC connectors connect directly to your sources.

You can record your input sources as .avi files, .mov files, or .mp4 files, and then

use your favorite editing application, such as Adobe Premiere Pro, to natively

edit your material. You can use the following codecs for each file:

• For .avi files, you can use the MPEG-2 I-frame codec at up to 300 Mb/s

(HD) or 50 Mb/s (SD).

• For .mov files, you can use a Matrox DV codec or the H.264 codec.

• For .mp4 files, you can use the H.264 codec.

Up to two VS4 cards are supported per system. In a two-card system, all eight

VS4 inputs are available for streaming in Telestream Wirecast, and recording is

supported on the four inputs of the primary VS4 (see “Selecting your primary

VS4 card” on page 93).

Installing Matrox VS4

Hardware and Software

This chapter describes how to

install your Matrox VS4

hardware and software.

Chapter 2, Installing Matrox VS4 Hardware and Software

Before installing your Matrox hardware

Read the following information carefully before attempting to install the Matrox

VS4 card.

¦ Note Unless otherwise specified, references to the VS4 card in this guide

apply to both VS4 and VS4 Pro cards.

Start with a functioning system

Before attempting any Matrox VS4 installation, you should have a computer with

a supported Windows operating system fully installed and functioning smoothly.

This will avoid potential problems later on.

Avoid costly damage

Static electricity from your body can damage your Matrox VS4 card or your

computer. Although you may not notice it, static electricity is generated every

time you move. It’s often too small to cause a spark, but it can still cause damage

to sensitive electronic components or at least reduce their lifespan.

To avoid damage, please observe the following precautions:

• Do not remove your Matrox VS4 card from its anti-static bag until you’re

ready to install it. Before removing the card, place the package within easy

reach of the area where you intend to perform the installation.

• You should avoid touching the chips and other components on the circuit

board. Try to handle the card by its edges.

• Try to work in an area where the relative humidity is at least 50%.

• Do not wear wool or synthetic clothing. These fabrics tend to generate more

static electricity than cotton, which is best for this kind of work.

• Turn off the power switches on your computer and its connected

components.

Once you’ve opened your computer, drain static electricity from your body by

touching a bare metal surface on your computer chassis before you install or

remove any parts of your system. If you have a grounding wrist strap, use it while

handling and installing any components in your computer.

Installing your Matrox VS4 card

The Matrox VS4 card is a three-quarter length PCIe card designed to operate in

your computer’s x8 or greater PCIe slot (x8 electrical recommended for optimal

performance). You can install up to two VS4 cards in the same system.

For detailed instructions on how to perform the following steps, refer to your

computer’s documentation.
