Product Details

Matrox Monarch LCS Multi-Source Streaming and Recording Appliance / MHLCS/I Product Info: IT administrators will find this reliable, standalone network appliance simple to set up and integrate into any open Video Management System (VMS) or Lecture Management System (LMS). Monarch LCS lets you easily define profiles for live streamed and recorded lectures by mixing camera and presentation material from SDI and HDMI sources. Once configured, this versatile H.264 encoding appliance can be operated by anyone at the push of a button. And it won’t break your budget! Variety of Operating Modes Complex recording equipment is no longer required to effectively capture presentations in lecture halls. A typical setup would consist of video and audio of the presenter and a computer source with supporting material which can be mixed into a single webcast. The operator can select a number of operating modes that include layouts such as Picture-in-picture and Side-by-side. If the operator prefers to dynamically change the inputs throughout the lecture, the Monarch LCS also offers Switcher mode. With very little set up time, the Monarch LCS can be configured to capture and deliver content such as presentations and seminars in many appealing layouts. Viewer Defined Layouts Keep your audience fully engaged by putting the control in their hands. In Isolated mode, the appliance provides two independent video files or streams. This feature, when used with a compatible 3rd party player, enables the viewer to select their preferred layout. The synchronized streaming or recording of Monarch LCS’ dual inputs are invaluable when such players are used. By aligning video inputs, the viewer can seamlessly switch to their preferred layout while maintaining perfectly synced audio and video. Easy to Operate Matrox Monarch LCS can be controlled and configured via the Monarch LCS Command Center using any device on the network that supports a standard web browsing application such as a tablet. The interface is designed for operator ease-of-use and features one-click operation to start encoding from anywhere within the user interface. A number of typical streaming and recording presets are provided that define all of the encoding parameters, including resolution and bitrate. ... •Two independent encoding channels can be configured to either stream or record •The operator can select a number of production modes, such as Picture-in-Picture or Side-by-Side configurations •If the operator prefers to dynamically change inputs during the course of the event, Monarch LCS appliance also offers Switch mode Tech Specs: •Network Interfaces : Connector: RJ45 providing 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet with Static or DHCP addressing Protocols: RTMP, RTSP/RTP.

This circuitry is in place for both SDI and HDMI inputs. Streaming and recording operations will proceed cleanly with repeated or dropped frames. •Product Weight : 0.60 kg •Scaler : High Quality multi-tap 10 bit Down Scaler and De-Interlacer Available to both streaming and recording operations •Operating Temperature (Maximum) : 40 C •Operating Temperature (Minimum) : 0 C •Recording File Format : File Type: Industry Standard MP4 and MOV files with two channels of embedded AAC audio Recording 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 LCS 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. •H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 (AVC) Video Encoder : Resolutions: Selectable encoding resolutions ranging from: 128x128 to 1920x1080.

Note that 50/60 fps setting is limited to following use cases: Single Input, single encoder – 1080p60 and 720p60 supported in RTMP, RTSP or Recording modes. Single Input, dual encoder – 720p60 in RTSP and Recording modes. All other operating modes will limit the frame rate to the 30/25 fps setting regardless of encoding resolution. Encoding Profiles: Baseline, Main and High. Encoding Controls: 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1 Level Support. GOP Size. Variable bit rate support. Average max/min data rate controls. Deblocking Filter. •MPEG-4 AAC Audio Encoder : Standard: AAC-LC Sample Frequency: 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz when digitized from an analog source Channels: 2 channels Stereo (L/R) Bit Rates: Range from 32 kbps to 256 kbps. Note that audio codec settings are applied to both encoders. •Storage Types for File Recording : 2 x USB 2.0: Support for NTFS (3.1) and FAT32 file system. The Monarch LCS 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 LCS 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. Only NTFS formatted SDXC cards are supported. (Class 10 highly recommended). Network Mapped Drive: Support for writing to shared folders in computers found on a network using Windows Share protocols (suitable for Windows system) as well as NFS protocols (suitable for Mac and Linux systems). •Streaming Video Formats Supported - H.264
