Matrox Monarch HD

Matrox Monarch HD is an easy-to-use application for streaming and recording video. It enables professional video producers to stream a live event while recording a master-quality version for post-production. Webcasting to YouTube and Facebook Live is easy because of the simplified setup for these popular platforms. All you need to do is pair the device with one of these accounts. It is automatically saved for later streams.

Easily webcast to your viewers

Monarch HD can deliver live content to CDNs such as YouTube, Facebook Live and Upstream, to media servers such as Adobe Flash and Wowza, or directly to a computer or device on a LAN. A few simple steps are all it takes to configure the device and pair it with YouTube and Facebook accounts. As a Works with Wowza certified encoder, users can take advantage of advanced integration with the Wowza™ streaming engine. Monarch HD also supports XML files generated for Flash Live Media Encoders.

Capture master-quality video while streaming

If an event is worth streaming, it is also worth recording in the highest possible quality. The higher the recording quality, the higher its value for material produced after the event. This material can be delivered to your audience as quickly produced VOD files or as fully post-produced footage of the highlights.

Matrox Monarch HD supports sharing the H.264 encoder between the streaming and recording processes so that recording quality and upload bandwidth are independent of each other. With a typical setting, a user can record a master-quality file at 25 Mbps while streaming at a 5 Mbps bit rate. As a dedicated streaming or recording device, Matrox Monarch HD can stream at bit rates up to 20 Mbps or record at bit rates up to 30 Mbps.

Matrox Monarch HD delivers the highest quality video at every bit, regardless of the input source and target bit rate. Combining the power of the integrated H.264 encoder with Matrox's high-quality de-interlacing and scaling modules ensures outstanding results.
