Montreal, Canada – September 8, 2010 – Matrox® Video Products Group today announced that XV-Tech S.A. has chosen the Matrox  DSXSD card, part of the Matrox DSX family of developer products, as the heart of its SQUID tapeless workflow solutions for broadcast and cable television stations.   SQUID is a complete family of products integrating news, programming, ad insertion, channel branding, auditing, and playout into a single seamless workflow, depending on customers’ needs.   SQUID systems have been installed in Bolivia, Peru, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Uruguay, Nicaragua, Honduras and other countries. In Argentina, XV-Tech S.A. has a 70% share of the video server market including installations at CableVisión, the country’s most important cable operator, with headends in most cities.
