Matrox Monarch EDGE Encoder Appliance

The Matrox Monarch EDGE Encoder Appliance is a powerful tool designed for professional video production, offering 4K/multi-HD video transport for live, multi-camera events. With the ability to select from a range of appliances, video professionals can meet their remote production needs effectively. This encoder and decoder combination is ideal for demanding, broadcast-quality productions and over-the-top (OTT) or cloud delivery, providing ultra-low latency and high-quality video transport. The Monarch EDGE series includes the EDGE E4 encoder, capable of 4:2:2 10-bit encoding, and the EDGE D4 decoder, which ensures seamless video transport with minimal latency.

• Multi-resolution Support: Encode and decode 4:2:0 8-bit, 4:2:0 10-bit, and 4:2:2 10-bit formats for versatility.
• Low Latency: Achieve “glass-to-glass” latencies as low as 100ms, ensuring seamless remote production experiences.

Expand Your Production Capabilities

The Monarch EDGE series allows you to easily produce multi-angle live events by extending the production studio to any remote location with a network connection. It can encode up to four camera feeds from HD or 3G-SDI sources and accept 4K signals over 12G-SDI, delivering a full-4K stream. The upcoming ST 21101 networked I/O ports using SFP28 connectivity will support all SDI resolutions. Its compact footprint ensures that two units fit into a single 1RU space, making it an excellent choice for productions requiring scalability without sacrificing portability.

• High-Quality Encoding: The optimized H.264 engine keeps data rates low while maintaining high quality, with encoding up to 120 Mbps available.
• Multiple Resolutions and Bitrates: Stream inputs at multiple resolutions and bitrates simultaneously, enhancing remote monitoring capabilities.

Convenient Control and Connectivity

The Monarch EDGE encoder and decoder offer comprehensive connectivity options, including 3G, 12G SDI, and ST 2110 over 25 GbE network connections. Each SDI input supports 16 channels of embedded audio, making multi-lingual or multi-channel productions easy. Access and manage your Monarch EDGE devices through a desktop application or web interface, with the Monarch EDGE Control Hub software for configuration and control. The robust and practical design includes an LCD screen for quick access to status and settings, and a locking power connector for reliability during production.

• Flexible Protocols: Support for MPEG-2 TS, RTSP, and SRT protocols ensures compatibility with various remote production environments.
• Centralized Command: Effortlessly configure and control all Monarch EDGE units on a local network, simplifying production workflows.
