Matrox Maevex 6150 — Quad-4K Encoding and Recording Appliance

For the first time in North America, Matrox will show its newly announced Matrox Maevex™ 6150 quad encoder, capable of capturing, encoding, and recording up to four 4K inputs.

Matrox Monarch LCS — Lecture Capture Appliance

An easy-to-use lecture capture device priced at just $2495, IT administrators will find the Monarch LCS appliance an excellent addition to their portfolio of learning tools—simple to set up and integrate into any open Video Management System (VMS) or Lecture Management System (LMS). The appliance provides two independent video files or streams, allowing audiences to remain fully engaged by putting control into their hands. When used with a compatible 3rd party player, the aligned video streams enable the viewer to seamlessly select and switch between their preferred layouts. Otherwise, preset production modes—such as picture-in-picture or side-by-side—allow lecturer and presentation materials to be mixed before recording and streaming, offering a simple setup for streaming purposes.

Matrox Monarch HD — Professional Streaming and Recording Appliance

At $995 the Monarch HD is ideal for simple installations where only a single HDMI feed needs to be webcast to Facebook® Live or YouTube Live while simultaneously recording a master-quality recording for post event editing.
 
Matrox Monarch HD takes an HDMI input from a source such as a camera and generates an encoded stream compliant with IP protocols (RTSP or RTMP). While encoding the video at bitrates suitable for live streaming, it simultaneously records a high-quality file (MP4 or MOV) to an SD card, a USB drive, or a network-mapped drive.
