Chapter 2, Matrox Monarch HDX Hardware and Connections
Using the Reset button
You can use the Monarch HDX Reset button to reboot the device (quick button
press), or reset the device to factory defaults (long press of at least five seconds).
In addition to the typical reasons for rebooting the Monarch (fixing errors or
other issues), a reboot (see “Device reboot” on page 12) also saves the Monarch’s
IP address and status to a connected USB device (USB port 2) as a text file. This
is a convenient way to find the Monarch’s IP address.
A factory reset allows you to switch to a Static IP (see“Switch to Static IP mode”
on page 13).
Remarks
• The Reset button is recessed in order to prevent unintended activation. Use a
straightened paper clip, or similar device, to press the Reset button.
• A power cycle of the Monarch HDX performs a simple reboot, not a reset to
factory defaults.
• When using the Reset button, any saved profiles for streaming and recording
are maintained, and all logged errors are cleared (see“Monarch HDX errors”
on page 24).
• Holding the Reset button pressed for more than five seconds will reset the
device to factory defaults.
Device reboot
When performing a device reboot, all current settings are maintained, including
the IP mode (DHCP or Static) that was set prior to the reboot.
¦NoteTo reboot the device and switch to Static IP mode, see“Switch to Static
IP mode”.
If you have a USB device connected to USB port 2 on the Monarch device, the
Monarch’s current IP address and status is saved to the USB device as a text file.
This is a convenient way to find the Monarch’s IP address.
To reboot Monarch HDX, do one of the following:
• Using a paper clip, press the recessed pinhole Reset button on the front of the
device.
• Open the Matrox Monarch HDX Utils application, select the Monarch HDX
device you wish to reboot, and then click
Reboot Selected.
During a standard boot up sequence, various LEDs will flash on and off. The
Warning ( ) LED will begin to flash early during the boot up sequence, and
once it stops flashing, the Monarch HDX is ready for use.
