VS4Recorder

A trial version of the VS4Recorder Pro software is included with the Matrox VS4 which records up to four live video feeds. It is the ideal solution for recording live multi-camera productions such as concerts and sporting events, and repurposing and archiving video assets. A full version of VS4Recorder Pro can be purchased at any time.

Easy-to-use ISO recording

Recording all your video feeds is as important as streaming if post-event editing is required. The Matrox VS4 not only sends your video feeds to Wirecast for streaming, it simultaneously records up to four of your original video feeds to disk. The easy-to-use Matrox ISO camera recording tool lets you record using the high-quality Matrox MPEG 2 I-Frame codec at up to 300Mb/s as well as DV, DVCPRO®, DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO HD® QuickTime files for use with popular editing apps from Adobe®, Apple® and Avid®.

Quad HD capture and ISO recording card for leading streaming production software

Create video streaming productions that are visually striking and grab your audience’s attention. The combination of Matrox VS4 and Telestream Wirecast or StudioCoast vMix for Windows lets you switch or mix multiple live video feeds and pre-recorded clips while adding graphics and effects. This solution is ideal for internet broadcasts of sports, religious services, corporate meetings and other live events. Matrox provides ISO recording for Telestream Wirecast through a Matrox plug-in and also offers vMix MultiCoder Matrox VFW codecs for ISO recording.
