Matrox Monarch HDX incorporates dual H.264 encoder to transmit and record video at the same time

Designed for use in broadcasting entities and broadcasters of live content, Matrox Monarch HDX can be used as an encoder for live streaming and, simultaneously, to record video files.

The Monarch HDX encoder Matrox Video It has 3G-SDI and HDMI connections with frame synchronization to correct any input irregularities, as well as two independent H.264 encoders that can be assigned to different tasks. This team will be presented at IBC 2015, fair held 11 al 15 September in Amsterdam

With the two encoders, integrated into the same device, Monarch HDX can tackle any task and stream to two different destinations, burn a file with proxy quality, while simultaneously recording a master quality version for later editing, or use one encoder to stream while the other encoder records the content at a higher quality for VOD downloads. Whether used as a live streaming encoder or recording video, Its integration is possible in any SD or HD installation.

Monarch HDX reparte 30 Mbps of coding capacity between the two channels. Each channel has a powerful scaling engine, De-interlacing and noise reduction ensures that encoders only receive pristine images.

When used as an encoder for internet transmissions, Monarch HDX generates an H.264 encoded stream that complies with RTSP or RTMP protocols. Each channel can be assigned separately to transmit only what is needed, when it is needed at up to 10 Mbps, allowing you to stream simultaneously to two destinations or configure the device to stream up to 20 Quality Mbps to a single encoding destination.

An encoder that has been designed for use by broadcasters and broadcasters of live content that need a flexible solution that is powerful enough to meet the demands of streaming video streams.

Dual channel recording

Content is captured in MOV or MP4 files to ensure they can be played in any application. Recordings can be stored locally on an SD card, USB flash drive or remotely on network-mapped drives.

Dual channel recording allows the user to record content simultaneously locally or to a drive, which means that any user on the network can access the files immediately. This also ensures that no action is lost, even if the network fails. Besides, whether content is sent to devices with varying decoding capabilities, each recording can be set to different bit rates.

Monarch HDX H.264 video recorder accepts signals from HDMI and SDI sources. Input is selected using web-based UI, Matrox Command Center, or directly on the unit itself. Allows extensive connectivity configuration to devices such as cameras, switches or routers. Both inputs are complemented by internal frame synchronizers to ensure streaming and recording are seamless, regardless of output alterations.

Audio can also be selected between the two channels of the integrated video signal or the analog stereo input. Audio can be dynamically muted and unmuted without affecting the video encoding process.

Regardless of input selection, SDI or HDMI video and integrated and analog audio, the departures are live. In SDI processes, The Monarch HDX recorder has extremely low transfer latency with a built-in no-power loss relay that, in case power is lost, will route SDI input directly to SDI output, Guaranteed signal path integrity and fail-safe design options.

Matrox Monarch HDX can be controlled and configured through the Monarch HDX Command Center using any device on the network that has support for a standard web search application such as a computer., smartphone or tablet. Designed for operator ease of use, Master controls provide one-click operations to start streaming and recording (or both) from anywhere via user interface.

The H.264 Monarch HDX encoder provides useful previews of low bitrate input directly in the Command Center user interface. This same preview can be viewed using software players such as VLC or on third-party devices, like Crestron control panels. This transmission is available independently of the two encoding channels, allowing you to check the video signal before activating live internet streaming.
