    Enhance your remote production (REMI) processes cost-effectively with the Monarch EDGE S1, a device capable of encoding and decoding simultaneously. This innovative tool empowers users to deliver return feeds to multi-camera crews on location. With its 3G-SDI input, the Monarch EDGE S1 encodes low-latency return feeds from the studio for secure transmission over private and public internet connections. At the remote location, it can decode one HD feed, outputting it through a genlockable 3G-SDI connection to distribute the studio-produced program feed. Offering the capability for simultaneous encode and decode operations, the Monarch EDGE S1 enables individual camera operators in the field to send a high-quality feed back to the studio while receiving the live program feed, streamlining communication and production quality.
