Chapter 1, Introduction
Welcome to Matrox Monarch HDX
The Matrox Monarch HDX is a simple and versatile video encoding appliance
specifically designed for broadcasters and webcasters who need a flexible
solution that is powerful enough to take on today’s demanding video delivery
workflows.
Monarch HDX offers 3G-SDI and HDMI inputs with frame-synchronization to
correct any discontinuity at the input, and two independent H.264 encoders that
can be assigned to individual tasks. By providing two encoders in a single device,
Monarch HDX can tackle any job; from streaming to two different locations, to
recording a proxy quality file while simultaneously recording master quality
version for post-event editing, to using one encoder for streaming while the other
records at higher quality for VOD downloads.
Whether used as a live streaming encoder or video recorder, the Monarch HDX
can integrate seamlessly into virtually any SD and HD installation.
