Matrox Monarch EDGE (8 Bit, 4:2:0)

The Monarch EDGE 4:2:0 8-bit encoder delivers resolutions up to 3840x2160p60 or quad 1920x1080p60 video while offering flexible 3G/12G-SDI and SMPTE ST 2110 25 GbE connectivity with multi-protocol streaming options. The Monarch EDGE 4:2:0 8-bit encoder is ideal for webcasting and over-the-top (OTT) delivery.

Webcasting workflows

Monarch EDGE features a robust and dynamic H.264 encoding engine that enables users to generate over 16 streams simultaneously to target top online video platforms (OVPs) including YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, IBM Cloud Video, and LinkedIn—for unprecedented reach and exposure. Delivering an experience beyond that offered by traditional linear programming, Monarch EDGE can capitalize on the latest in live-event-webcasting innovations—such as high-frame-rate (HFR) 4K, 4K 360 VR, and multi-camera selection—to allow video professionals to stream compelling live content to laptops/desktops, smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs.

REMI workflows

Monarch EDGE allows broadcasters to produce live, multi-camera events with increased operational efficiency, while minimizing on-site expenses by keeping talent and/or production crew in-studio. The compact, low-latency, low-power REMI encoder delivers up to four synchronized, secure camera feeds from the field over IP to a centralized, in-house or cloud-based production system to produce high-quality live programming. With remote production, fewer production staff and equipment are required in the field, lowering travel expenses and logistical costs.

The powerful Matrox Monarch EDGE Control Hub application provides remote-control management and configuration of all network-connected encoders from a central location. This powerful software provides authorized users with high-level views of all devices, and enables full access and control from a single, easy-to-use interface.
