Transmission and recording

Monarch HD is Matrox's proposal for video transmission and recording. This is a small and easy to use H.264 encoder, Designed for professional video producers who need to stream a live event and simultaneously record a higher quality version for later editing tasks. From any HDMI input source, For example, a camera or a switch, Matrox Monarch HD generates an H.264-encoded stream that complies with the RTSP or RTMP protocol.

While encoding video signals at bit rates suitable for live streaming, Matrox Monarch HD can simultaneously record a high-quality MP4 or MOV file to an SD card, a USB drive or a mapped network drive. The new Monarch SDK, an HTTP based API, Contains documentation and example code with which audio/video and broadcast equipment developers can write applications to configure and control the streaming capabilities of Monarch HD.

An IBC 2014, Monarch HD will be presented integrated with a controller Crestron, that allows operators to easily start and stop streaming and recording from this manufacturer's well-known interface.

Scan Converter

Matrox Convert DVI Plus is an affordable, synchronizable HD-SDI scan converter that allows broadcast professionals to include content from computers, iPad and iPhone in broadcast programs in a simple way, becoming an ideal solution for creating broadcast quality video from applications such as Skype, YouTube, Google Earth, FaceTime, ProPresenter, PowerPoint and web browsers.

The region of interest feature allows the user to select any area of ​​any size on the computer screen and output only that content at the desired output resolution..
