Matrox Video Celebrates 50 Years of Innovation Ahead of InfoComm 2026

Matrox Video is celebrating its 50th anniversary, marking five decades since its 1976 founding in Montreal, Canada. Over the past 50 years, the privately held company has consistently driven critical transitions in the media and AV industries, expanding from multi-display computing and hardware-accelerated graphics to modern IP-based infrastructures, AV-over-IP, and cloud-native production environments.

To coincide with this major milestone, CEO and Co-Founder Lorne Trottier announced an upcoming product launch scheduled for the first week of June. This next-generation solution—to be showcased at InfoComm 2026—aims to redefine remote workflows by delivering high-quality, low-latency video while significantly optimizing and reducing network bandwidth requirements.

Since 1976, the company has continuously adapted to emerging technologies and changing markets. Throughout that time, Matrox Video has delivered technologies that help organizations around the world capture, process, stream, manage, and distribute video more effectively. 

Matrox Video has helped drive some of the industry's most important technology transitions. The company has played a role in advances ranging from multi-display computing and hardware-accelerated graphics to IP-based media infrastructures, AV-over-IP, and cloud-native video workflows.
