The Matrox Monarch Edge D4 Decoder revolutionizes 4K and multi-HD video transport for live, multi-camera events, particularly tailored for remote production (REMI). This device stands out for its ultra-low latency and high-quality video transport capabilities, making it an essential tool for video professionals seeking reliability and performance.

Capable of decoding live, multi-camera video streams at up to 4K or quad HD resolutions, the Monarch Edge D4 ensures that your production meets the highest quality standards. Its compact, robust design and low power consumption make live event production more efficient and cost-effective, allowing you to keep talent in-house while delivering exceptional video content.

Designed to seamlessly decode REMI streams with remarkably low latency, the Monarch Edge D4 sends video back to your master control room securely and efficiently. Supporting both 4:2:0 8-bit and 4:2:2 10-bit encode/decode options, it pairs perfectly with the Monarch Edge encoder for demanding REMI broadcast workflows or providing backhaul feeds to your broadcast network. When paired with a Monarch EDGE encoder, the EDGE D4 decoder provides ultra-low latency, high-quality video transport.
