Top Reasons To Use Matrox Products

Built for high quality 10-bit H.264 encoding

Monarch EDGE’s H.264 engine delivers low data rates with high quality, supporting up to 120 Mbps, 4x1080p60 or 1x2160p60 streams, with scaling, de-interlacing, and multi-resolution outputs.

Exceptionally low latency

Monarch EDGE ensures ultra-low “glass-to-glass” latency as low as 100ms over standard 1 GbE networks, maintaining audio-video sync and seamless interaction for high-quality remote production (REMI) in live environments.

Flexible Protocols

Monarch EDGE supports MPEG-2 TS, RTSP, and SRT protocols for REMI. SRT ensures reliable, low-latency, and secure streaming on open networks, ideal for cloud delivery or congested connections.

Simple, easy-to-use tally & talkback

Monarch EDGE encoder/decoder enables REMI with bi-directional tally and talkback. Supports eight tally signals and balanced analog I/O for seamless communication between on-site camera operators and in-studio personnel.

Comprehensive Connectivity

Monarch EDGE offers future-proof connectivity with 3G, 12G SDI, and ST 2110 over 25 GbE. Supports 16-channel embedded audio, enabling multi-lingual or multi-channel productions via MPEG-2 or SRT protocols.

Localized Preview

Monarch EDGE’s DisplayPort enables up to four input previews on one monitor. With Control Hub, users easily configure and monitor audio sources, selecting single inputs or muting all.

FAQs

What is the difference between Monarch S1, E4, and D4?

  • Monarch S1 is a simultaneous encode/decode appliance designed for field crews needing return feeds.
  • Monarch E4 encodes up to four HD or one UHD 4Kp60 stream for remote production.
  • Monarch D4 is a decoder optimized for ultra-low latency, high-quality video transport.

Can Monarch EDGE encoders and decoders be used together for REMI (Remote Production)?

Yes. The E4 encoder and D4 decoder pair provide synchronized, low-latency video transport with tally and talkback features, making them ideal for REMI workflows.

What video formats and quality do these devices support?

  • Support for HDR 10-bit 4:2:2 video.
  • Encode/decode up to UHD 4Kp60 or multiple synchronized HD streams.
  • Options for high-quality, low-latency streams over industry-standard protocols.

What streaming protocols are supported by Monarch S1, E4 & D4?

They support SRT, MPEG-2 TS, and RTSP protocols. SRT ensures reliable, low-latency, and secure streaming for open networks and cloud-based destinations.

Do these devices support multi-camera and large event productions?

Yes. The E4 encoder allows multi-unit ganging to transmit dozens of synchronized streams, while the S1 enables return feeds, and the D4 provides ultra-low latency decoding for large-scale productions.
