Configuring Local preview settings
This section describes the
Local preview
settings in Monarch EDGE Control Hub.
Select
Enable local preview of input
for the Encoder, or
Enable local preview of output
for
the Decoder to turn on the Monarch EDGE preview feature. You can view the video preview on
a monitor connected to the Monarch EDGE DisplayPort connector. Select the
Audio source
for your preview from the drop-down list.
NOTES
•
The preview feature will affect the Monarch EDGE encoding and decoding perfor-
mance. If you use preview while the Monarch EDGE is streaming, you may experience
performance-related issues.
•
Setting RTMP streaming to a 10-bit pixel format results in a green-tinted video pre-
view using Wowza or Adobe players. The actual streaming output is not affected, only
the video preview.
Configuring Tally settings
This section describes the
Tally
settings in Monarch EDGE Control Hub. This includes both
dedicated Tally signals and general purpose interface (GPI) inputs and outputs.
When the 15-pin Tally connector is connected to the Monarch EDGE, the Tally and GPI cir-
cuits allow you to turn on camera tally lights or trigger actions on other equipment. This feature
is used with both the Monarch EDGE Encoder and Decoder devices working together. For
example, signals can be sent from the production switcher to the decoder, which transfers these
signals to the encoder for output to the cameras.
The Tally section in Monarch EDGE Control Hub allows you to test your Tally and GPI con-
nections, and then pair your devices for a real Tally workflow.
About Test Mode and Live Mode
The Monarch EDGE Tally feature provides you with two modes:
Test mode:
This mode allows you to test your wiring connections against the Tally signals
in the Control HUB user interface. Since the Encoder and Decoder pins are not directly
mappable, use the information in "
connector, and then use Test mode to validate your connections.
Live mode:
After you have tested your connections and verified the pins are mapped cor-
rectly, you can pair your Monarch EDGE Encoder and Decoder devices, then turn on Live
mode to use the Tally feature.
