SMPTE Montréal/Québec Section and Ottawa Subsection choose Matrox Monarch LCS

Local SMPTE Sections host more than 200 technical education programs in 27 locales - such as meetings, tutorials, and workshops - annually across the globe. SMPTE members, who have been unable to attend these technical presentations in person, communicated their desire to watch the programs live and interact with the presenter during the question period.

 

SMPTE Montréal/Québec Section and the Ottawa Subsection’s earlier setup allowed them to provide only video-on-demand versions of the presentation materials. Deciding to stream presentations live for the benefit of these members, the Montréal/Québec Section and the Ottawa Subsection’s technical committees, on a quest for a dual-channel encoder, chose the Matrox Monarch LCS lecture capture appliance.

 

At a recent SMPTE-Montréal/Québec Section meeting highlighting the newly published ST 2110 suite of standards for Professional Media Over Managed IP Networks, and Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) registration, all presentations were webcast to Facebook Live using Monarch LCS. The webcast provided a way for online viewers to pose questions in real-time and receive instant feedback from presenters.

 

The SMPTE Montréal/Québec Section leveraged the Monarch LCS’ HDMI output as a double validation to confirm that the video was being processed correctly. In cases of unreliable input sources, the Monarch LCS’ frame synchronizer ensured that picture quality was consistent. The SMPTE Montréal/Québec Section and the Ottawa Subsection will use Monarch LCS to simultaneously record the presentations, to upload to SMPTE’s YouTube channel for video-on-demand, as well as for archiving purposes.

 

The SMPTE Montréal/Québec Section and the Ottawa Subsection’s default setting for streaming is RTMP protocol, in 720p60 format, and at a fixed bitrate of 4.5 Gbps. An SDI PTZ camera captures the presenter and sends an SDI feed to the Monarch LCS’ input, while the second available input comes via HDMI directly from the laptop containing the PowerPoint presentation material. The operator can dynamically change the input from camera to laptop, and vice versa, using the Switcher mode in the Monarch LCS. The presenter and questioner’s microphones are sent from a mixer into Monarch LCS.
