Here Comes Monarch Edge: Matrox is building some important stuff
By Jim Bask
Matrox has some brand new streaming technology that we should all keep an eye on.
Matrox is never far from the cutting edge. It was building GPUs before they were called GPUs. Then the Montreal, Canada, company catapulted video editing into the real-time broadcast quality domain with its family of Digisuites and NLE cards.
Since then, it’s not taken such a high profile, because its products have been more infrastructural and “problem-solving”, but no less accomplished for not being in the public gaze.
We’ve recently been using the Matrox Monarch HDX – a dual-encoder streaming “appliance” that allows you to send independent streams to two streaming hosts (say Facebook and YouTube) from a single HDMI or SDI input.
Just as you’d want from an appliance, we found it rock-solid. Highly recommended, based on our experience of it.
Matrox will be at Integrated Systems Europe next week on the 5th to 8th February, at the RAI in Amsterdam (the same place that hosts IBC every September), with their Monarch range (the HDX and the LCS) and will also be showing an early version (ie not yet for sale) of the Monarch Edge.
