Welcome to Matrox Monarch HD

Matrox Monarch HD is a small, easy-to-use video streaming and recording
appliance designed for professional video producers who need to simultaneously
stream a live event and record the master quality version for post-event editing.
By separating the task of recording from streaming in a single integrated unit,
Matrox Monarch HD ensures that the Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are
focused on delivering quality video to your audience while you control the
quality of the archive.
From any HDMI input source such as a camera or switcher, Matrox Monarch HD
generates an H.264-encoded stream compliant with RTSP or RTMP protocols.
While encoding the video at bit rates suitable for live streaming, Matrox Monarch
HD simultaneously records a high-quality MP4 or MOV file to an SD card, a
USB drive, or a network-mapped drive. Matrox Monarch HD is remotely
controlled using any computer or mobile device with a web browser.
