Streaming Directly To Multiple Platforms

The Matrox Monarch™ HDX is a dual-channel H.264 video encoder designed for broadcast streaming and recording, allowing you to stream directly to multiple platforms. The Monarch HDX is ideal for broadcasting or anywhere a SDI or HDMI source needs to be sent to live content delivery networks (CDNs) like YouTube Live, Facebook Live, or Ustream. The Monarch video encoder can also simultaneously recording or streaming to a second location. The Monarch HDX's caption-enhanced H.264 media can be dual-channel streamed (up to 10MB/s each, or one at 20MB/s) to video hosting platforms, media servers, or a variety of (CDNs). MOV/MP4 files recorded with Monarch HDX preserve captions, which can be included in video on demand (VOD) or archiving workflows. Webcasting is made simple with the Monarch HDX, a versatile dual-channel video encoder designed for today's most demanding video delivery workflows.
