ENCODING FOR REMOTE
There’s news from Matrox, with the Monarch Edge S1 appliance for remote production workflows. Featuring simultaneous encode/ decode support, Monarch Edge S1 allows broadcasters to deliver secure and low-latency program feeds from the studio
to multicamera production crews, talent and guests in any remote location. “The broadcast industry has seen a rise in the adoption of remote production technologies for live sporting and entertainment events, as well as live broadcasts, news and interviews,” says
technical marketing manager at Matrox Video, Daniel Maloney. The return feed functionality of the Monarch Edge S1 is designed to handle issues that often crop up with two-way communication within remote production and multisite workflows.
PEBBLE TAKES CONTROL Newly launched IP connection management system, Pebble Control, encourages broadcasters to make the leap to an all-IP facility, without deploying a bespoke enterprise solution. It operates on web-based UIs and provides a plug-and-play capability for IP networks. “The transition to IP is gathering pace, but there are still small traps for broadcasters wanting to establish all-IP workflows,” comments Pebble CTO, Miroslav Jeras. To resolve this, the deployment process is as simplified as possible. Providing comprehensive online help and a series of tutorial videos, Pebble aims to make IP routing and switching accessible to any broadcaster hoping to transition to IP.
