Monarch HDX

Matrox Monarch HDX – простое и универсальное решение для кодирования и вещания видео, специально разработанное для требовательной среды ТВ- и интернет вещателей.

Monarch HDX имеет на борту 3G-SDI и HDMI входа с покадровой синхронизацией и два независимых H.264 кодера, которые позволяют одновременно выполнять различные задания: стриминг в различных направлениях, запись в мастер качестве для постобработки и сведенный сигнал прямого эфира, или же стриминг с одного кодера и запись со второго.

Monarch HDX располагает возможностью кодирования до 30Мб/сек на оба канала.

При этом каждый канал может стримить со скоростью 10Мб/сек при двойном стриминге, или же 20Мб/сек на один работающий канал. Также каждый канал имеет функции масштабирования, деинтерлейсинга и шумоподавления.

Запись может производиться на SD карту памяти, USB диск или на удаленный компьютер в сети.

Matrox Monarch HDX также с легкостью обеспечит стриминг контента на сервера Adobe Flash или Wowza, а также на любую популярную CDN платформу.
Управление Matrox Monarch HDX может производиться с помощью веб-интерфейса Command Center, что делает процесс установки и управления более простым и удобным.

Также H.264 кодер в Monarch HDX предоставляет очень полезную функцию контрольного стрим-сигнала предпросмотра, который можно просмотреть прямо в Command Center, а также на софтверных плеерах типа VLC или панелях Crestron. Данный поток доступен независимо на обоих каналах кодеров.

Благодаря своему дизайну, Monarch HDX очень практичен: на передней панели расположены кнопки управления, гнезда для карт памяти и USB разъемы, а входы и выходы находятся на задней панели, также как и питание. Размер прибора универсален: он может работать как настольный прибор, так и стоять в рековой стойке высотой в 1U.

This circuitry is in place for both SDI and HDMI inputs. Streaming and recording operations will proceed cleanly with repeated or dropped frames.H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 (AVC) Video EncoderResolutions Selectable encoding resolutions ranging from:128x128 to 1920x1080Bit Rates Ranges Single Encoder - Streaming mode: 20 MbpsSingle Encoder - Recording mode: 30 MbpsDual Encoder - Maximum of 10 Mbps for streaming channelsMaximum of 30 Mbps combined for both channelsEncode Frame Rates Encode frame rates selection includes 60/50, 30/25/24 and 15/12.5.Note that the maximum encode frame rate is 30 fps when encode resolution is 1920x1080Encoding Profiles Baseline, Main and HighEncoding Controls 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1 Level SupportGOP Size and StructureVariable bit rate supportAverage max/min data rate controlsDeblocking FilterMPEG-4 AAC Audio EncoderStandard AAC-LCSample Frequency 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz when digitized from an analog sourceChannels 2 channels Stereo (L/R)Bit Rates Range from 32 kbps to 256 kbpsNote that audio codec settings are applied to streaming or files delivered by both encoders.Scaler High Quality multi-tap 10 bit Down Scaler and De-InterlacerAvailable to both streaming and recording operations H.264 Input preview StreamResolution 320x180Average Bitrate 300 kbpsStream Type RTSPRecording File FormatFile Type Industry Standard MP4 and MOV files with two channels of embedded AAC audioRecording Lengths Maximum file length of 300 minutes—irrespective of storage type used. File splitting feature allows a user to record continuously for long periods by defining file segment sizes. The Monarch HD will create these sequential file segments over the course of the recording operation without losing a single frame of video. File segment can have a length of 1 to 300 minutes.Network InterfacesConnector RJ45 providing 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet with Static or DHCP addressingProtocols RTMP, RTSP/RTPIPv4 SupportUnicast and Multi Unicast (number of clients may vary from 3 to 10)User InterfaceComputer Based control HTTP via standard PC or Mac web browser using Monarch HDX Command Center.Physical Interface On device push buttons for independent streaming and recording with Start/Stop controlStorage Types for File Recording2 x USB 2.0 Support for NTFS (3.1) and FAT32 file systemThe Monarch HD will support writing to USB3 devices at USB2 speeds. Also note, there is a very high variability in the performance capabilities of “thumb” drives (even USB3 versions). Many are optimized for “read” operations while the Monarch HD requires sustained “write” capabilities. For best results, Matrox recommends using powered USB drives. If small portable media is required, SD cards may be more suitable.1 x SD card Slot Supports SD and SDHC cards (Class 10 highly recommended). Only NTFS formatted SDXC cards are supported.Network Mapped Drive Support for writing to shared folders on computers found on a network using Windows Share protocols (suitable for Windows system) as well as NFS protocols (suitable for Mac and Linux systems).Matrox Monarch HDX Command Center Web UIStart Stop Controls These buttons are available at all times no matter where you navigate in the UI.Status Page Provides relevant operational information concerning Status of MonarchHD unit at that time including; Input video detection and resolution, State and configuration of Streaming operation, State and configuration of Recording operation, Error conditions, etc.Control Page Multiple Monarch devices can be connected in a Master/Slave topology to allow for synchronized recording and streaming operations across multiple units via a single interface.Record Settings Configuration of recording parameters set within this page.
