Note that all outputs are active regardless of audio and video input selection.
Extra featuresVideo Input Format is Auto-Detected in SDI and HDMI.
All outputs are active regardless of audio and video input selection.
Frame Synchronization
Frame SynchronizationThe Monarch LCS contains frame synchronization circuitry designed to compensate for disruptions of the input signal. 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 Encoder
ResolutionsSelectable encoding resolutions ranging from:
128x128 to 1920x1080
Bit Rates RangesSingle Encoder - Streaming mode: 16 Mbps
Dual Encoder - Maximum of 8 Mbps for streaming channels
Dual Encoder - Maximum of 10 Mbps for recording channels
Encode Frame RatesEncode frame rates selection includes;
60/50, 30/25 and 15/12.5.

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 ProfilesBaseline, Main and High
Encoding Controls2.0, 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
StandardAAC-LC
Sample Frequency32, 44.1 and 48 kHz when digitized from an analog source
Channels2 channels Stereo (L/R)
Bit RatesRange from 32 kbps to 256 kbps

Note that audio codec settings are applied to both encoders.
Scaler
 High Quality multi-tap 10 bit Down Scaler and De-Interlacer
Available to both streaming and recording operations
Recording File Format
File TypeIndustry Standard MP4 and MOV files with two channels of embedded AAC audio
Recording LengthsMaximum 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.
Network Interfaces
ConnectorRJ45 providing 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet with Static or DHCP addressing
ProtocolsRTMP, RTSP/RTP
IPv4 Support
Unicast and Multi Unicast (number of clients may vary from 3 to 10)
User Interface
Computer Based controlHTTP via standard PC or Mac web browser using Monarch LCS Command Center.
Physical InterfaceOn Device push buttons for independent streaming and recording with Start/Stop control
Storage Types for File Recording
2 x USB 2.0Support 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 SlotSupports SD and SDHC cards. Only NTFS formatted SDXC cards are supported. (Class 10 highly recommended).
Network Mapped DriveSupport 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).
