Description
1
AUDIO
Analog XLR audio with two balanced analog audio inputs and out-
puts. On the Monarch EDGE Encoder, these can be used for pro-
gram audio or for Talkback functionality (when used for Talkback,
analog audio is not available). On the Monarch EDGE Decoder, the
analog audio is only used for Talkback.
NOTE
A separate audio cable is available for purchase.

REF
For Monarch EDGE Encoder, this is a bi-level genlock output. For
Monarch EDGE Decoder, this is a bi- or tri-level genlock input.

TALLY
Connect to a production switcher for the transfer of tally signals
between in-studio switchers and on-site cameras.
Although the physical connector is the same on both the Monarch
EDGE Encoder and Decoder, the Encoder uses the connector’s
pins as four GPI inputs and eight Tally outputs, while the Decoder
uses them as eight Tally inputs and four GPI outputs.

SDI 1 to 4

SDI connectors function as inputs on the Monarch EDGE Encoder
and outputs on the Monarch EDGE Decoder.
Connectors 1 to 3 are 3G SDI per SMPTE ST 425 (Level A mapping
only). SDI connector 4 is a 12G SDI per SMPTE ST 2082 and sup-
ports 4K when connectors 1 to 3 are not being used

25 GbE modules. To be supported in a future release for SMPTE ST

poses only. They are not included with your Monarch EDGE, and
must be purchased separately from a third-party.
