Product Information

- Even more reach: Monarch EDGE E4 8-bit's powerful encoding engine allows users to stream each input to multiple OVPs simultaneously for unprecedented reach and exposure. With Monarch EDGE’s ability to reach over 16 streaming destinations, users can extend their reach and engage with their audiences where they are rather than luring them to a single OVP.
- Pristine quality delivered to any screen: Producing and delivering live events in 4K is becoming more widespread, and homes across the globe are adding increasingly fast network download capabilities, as well as 4K TVs to accommodate this content. OVPs are capable of downscaling content optimized for large 4K TV screens to smaller screens when 4K streams are sent to them. When OVPs let TVs tackle the upscaling of HD content to fill screens, the result is not optimal. Monarch EDGE E4 eliminates any compromise by encoding 4K at high frame rates (50 or 60 fps), while the OVP handles any downscaling so content providers can deliver a superlative 4K viewing experience.
- Cloud-based remote production made simple: Produce live multi-camera events more efficiently by minimizing on-site resources and keeping talent in-house. Monarch EDGE E4 8-bit delivers synchronized, high-quality camera feeds over IP to centralized or cloud-based production systems, reducing travel and equipment costs while enabling studios to cover more events with the same team.
- Uncompromising H.264 quality: The H.264 codec is universally accepted for web contribution and live streaming. Monarch EDGE E4 8-bit’s unique implementation of the codec keeps bitrates exceptionally low while minimizing latency without sacrificing quality. The device’s independent encoding operations per input can be configured to stream to a single or multiple destinations. Each operation benefits from a powerful scaling and de-interlacing engine to ensure only pristine images and audio are encoded.
- Flexible protocols: Monarch EDGE E4 8-bit supports a variety of streaming protocols such as MPEG-2 TS, RTSP, and SRT. Social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube use the ever-popular RTMP format. SRT is an open-source format that provides the reliability of RTMP, while reducing latency on open networks. On local networks, MPEG-2 TS or RTSP streams can be selected for delivery over in-house networks. Finally, multiple destinations can be targeted for each encoding profile.
- Robust and practical design: Monarch EDGE appliances are built for reliability, featuring a front-panel LCD screen for quick status and configuration settings, a locking power connector for secure operation, and redundant ethernet (1 GbE) ports for control and network path protection. The device's compact form factor ensures it can be easily installed into fly-packs or paired side by side in a 1RU-rack space.
