Remarks
• In RTSP mode, Monarch HDX will only start streaming data to clients once
the selected encoder button (on the front panel or in the Command Center) is
pushed. The streaming will continue until it is stopped, by pressing the
encoder button once more (see
page 22).
• Enabling jumbo frames changes the IP packet size of the stream from 1500
bytes to 9216 bytes. This option may improve performance on certain
networks; however, not all networks support larger packet sizes. This option
is disabled by default.

Specify the destination Server URL and Stream name provided by your

CDN or server administrator. If your CDN provides a streaming XML file , or
when using Wowza Streaming Engine Manager, you can load the streaming
XML file instead of entering the server URL and stream name. To do so, use
the Choose File button to select the file. When loading a streaming XML
file, just the destination information (server URL and stream name) from the
streaming XML file will be loaded. If the streaming XML file contains
encoding information, those settings will not be loaded. Click Clear to
remove the loaded streaming XML file.
¡ Important If the stream name, username, or password is included in the
stream URL, do not enter the information in the respective text boxes.
If your Flash-based server or CDN uses the "ModuleRTMPAuthenticate"

method for RTMP authentication, a username and password is used for
authentication, however, username and password information is not included
as part of the stream URL or streaming XML file. In this case, you must
enter the stream Username and Password in the text boxes provided.
