Monarch HDX operating modes
As the Monarch HDX offers two encoders in a single device, it is a versatile tool
that allows a variety of operations, including but not limited to:
• Streaming to two different locations (maximum average video data rate: 20
Mb/s total).
• Recording a proxy quality file, while simultaneously recording master
quality version (maximum average video data rate: 30 Mb/s).
• Using one encoder for streaming while the other records at higher quality for
VOD downloads.
The Monarch HDX has three operating modes with their own options and
capabilities: Record, RTMP (streaming), and RTSP (streaming). You set the
Monarch HDX operating mode for each encoder on the
Encoder Settings page
of the Command Center.
Record
Record mode saves the source to a USB device, an SD card, or to a network
shared folder. Recordings can be done at different bit rates in case you need to
deliver content to devices with varying decoding capabilities.
When a recording is stopped, it may take a few seconds for Monarch HDX to
finalize the file. If recording to a USB device or SD card, the USB/SD card LED
continues to flash during the finalization process. To avoid corrupted video files,
do not remove the USB device or SD card when its LED is flashing.
Monarch HDX provides settings for recording your input source for video on
demand (VOD), high-quality editing, and archiving/previewing purposes.
