Matrox HDX Dual Channel H.264 Encoder for Broadcast

Matrox HDX Dual Channel H.264 Encoder for Broadcast

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 webcasting and recording 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. Webcasting to YouTube and Facebook Live is easy for these popular platforms. All that’s needed is to setup the device once with these accounts and it’s automatically retained for subsequent streams.
