Matrox Unveils Monarch EDGE Command Center to Simplify and Streamline Remote Production (REMI) Workflows

	Matrox Video's Monarch EDGE Command Center web user interface

Matrox Video announces the release of its Monarch EDGE Command Center web user interface (UI) to simplify and enhance the management of Monarch EDGE 4K/multi-HD encoders and decoders within remote production (REMI) environments. Accessible via a standard web-browsing application, this intuitive configuration management tool allows broadcasters and live event producers to directly access, control, and operate all Monarch EDGE appliances from any location and device. Secure, quick connection to Monarch EDGE appliances facilitates efficient setup and maintenance operations to swiftly meet the growing demand for live, multi-camera sports, concerts, and news productions.

Matrox Monarch EDGE encoder and decoder appliances help organizations produce more broadcast-quality content with fewer resources by transporting multiple synchronized camera feeds over dedicated WAN, LAN, or Internet, and back to the studio -- with glass-to-glass latency as low as 100ms -- for SDI-based productions, the company says. Monarch EDGE Command Center further streamlines the REMI deployment process by allowing broadcast operators to configure and customize streaming, recording, and decoding settings and operating modes from any device on the network that supports a web browser. In conjunction with the Monarch EDGE Control Hub high-level overview dashboard application, authorized users have complete end-to-end management and control of Monarch EDGE appliances within the REMI ecosystem.

"Remote productions are agile by design, and the Matrox Monarch EDGE Command Center web UI ensures that broadcast and live event operators can quickly and easily set up and/or adjust their encoding and decoding parameters to their specific workflow," says Wayne Andrews, senior product manager at Matrox Video. "This simple yet powerful configuration management tool drastically enhances the user experience, whether it's for managing permanent or single-event multi-camera installations."

The new Matrox Monarch EDGE Command Center is now available for download via the Matrox Monarch EDGE Control Hub 2.01 driver. For more information on Monarch EDGE encoders and decoders, or to request a demo, please contact Matrox.
