Dual-Channel H.264 Encoder for Broadcast Streaming and Recording
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 recoding 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 made easy through its simplified set up for these popular platforms. All that’s needed is to pair the device once with these accounts and it’s automatically retained for subsequent streams.
Matrox Monarch HDX Technical Specifications

| Supported HDMI Video Input | Progressive 1920×1080 @ 60/59.94/50/30/29.97/25/24/23.98 Frames per second 1280×720 @ 60/59.94/50 Frames per second Interlaced |
|---|---|
| HDMI Video Output | Preview output of video input signal. Preview output is available when source is SDI or HDMI.
Note that when input is an SD SDI resolution, the HDMI preview output will show video windowboxed on an HD output. |
| Supported SDI Video Input | Progressive 1920×1080 @ 60/59.94/50/30/29.97/25/24/23.98 Frames per second 1280×720 @ 60/59.94/50 Frames per second Interlaced Compliant with SMPTE 259M/292M/424M (Level A) / 425MClosed Captioning embedded in VANC of SD or HD SDI signals per SMPTE 334-1 or Captions found in Line 21 of SD signals per EIA-608 are embedded in the essence of H.264 as SEI NAL Units (CEA-608) as per SCTE 128-1 specification |
| SDI Video Output | 0 frame latency passthrough of Input signal. Output is a clean distribution of SDI incoming signal. Hardware bypass relay present in SDI signal path is «closed» on power failure. |
| Audio Input | Processes the first two channels of audio embedded in HDMI or SDI input signals. Unbalanced analog stereo input via 1/8” (3.5mm) jack. Line Level |
| Audio Output | Passthrough of 8 channel of embedded audio channels in HDMI and SDI signals. Unbalanced analog stereo output via 1/8” (3.5mm) jack—passthrough of input. Line Level Note that all outputs are active regardless of audio and video input selection. |
| Extra features | Video Input Format is Auto-Detected in SDI and HDMI. All outputs are active regardless of audio and video input selection. |
| Frame Synchronization | |
| Frame Synchronization | The Monarch HDX contains frame synchronization circuitry designed to compensate for disruptions of the input signal. This circuitry is in place for both SDI and HDMI inputs. Streaming and recording operations will proceed cleanly with repeated or dropped frames. |
| H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 (AVC) Video Encoder | |
| Resolutions | Selectable encoding resolutions ranging from: 128×128 to 1920×1080 |
| Bit Rates Ranges | Single Encoder – Streaming mode: 20 Mbps Single Encoder – Recording mode: 30 Mbps Dual Encoder – Maximum of 10 Mbps for streaming channels Maximum of 30 Mbps combined for both channels |
| Encode Frame Rates | Encode frame rates selection includes; 60/50, 30/25/24 and 15/12.5. Single Encoder – Maximum of 1080p60 fps |
| Encoding Profiles | Baseline, Main and High |
| Encoding Controls | 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1 Level Support GOP Size Variable bit rate support Average max/min data rate controls Deblocking Filter |

| MPEG-4 AAC Audio Encoder | |
| Standard | AAC-LC |
| Sample Frequency | 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz when digitized from an analog source |
| Channels | 2 channels Stereo (L/R) |
| Bit Rates | Range from 32 kbps to 256 kbps
Note that audio codec settings are applied to both encoders. |
| Scaler | |

|
| H.264 Input preview Stream | |
| Resolution | 320×180 |
| Average Bitrate | 100-300 kbps |
| Stream Type | RTSP
Note the preview encoder is automatically disabled when primary encoder resolution are at the max to ensure best streaming and/recording performance. |
| Recording File Format | |
| File Type | Industry Standard MP4 and MOV files with two channels of embedded AAC audio |
| Recording Lengths | Maximum file length of 300 minutes—irrespective of storage type used. File splitting feature allows a user to record continuously for long periods by defining file segment sizes. The Monarch HDX will create these sequential file segments over the course of the recording operation without losing a single frame of video. File segment can have a length of 1 to 300 minutes. |
| Network Interfaces | |
| Connector | RJ45 providing 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet with Static or DHCP addressing |
| Protocols | RTMP, RTSP/RTP IPv4 Support Unicast and Multi Unicast (number of clients may vary from 3 to 10) |
| User Interface | |
| Computer Based control | HTTP via standard PC or Mac web browser using Monarch HDX Command Center. |
| Physical Interface | On Device push buttons for independent streaming and recording with Start/Stop control |
| Storage Types for File Recording | |
| 2 x USB 2.0 | Support for NTFS (3.1) and FAT32 file system The Monarch HDX will support writing to USB3 devices at USB2 speeds. Also note, there is a very high variability in the performance capabilities of “thumb” drives (even USB3 versions). Many are optimized for “read” operations while the Monarch HDX requires sustained “write” capabilities. For best results, Matrox recommends using powered USB drives. If small portable media is required, SD cards may be more suitable. |
| 1 x SD card Slot | Supports SD and SDHC cards. Only NTFS formatted SDXC cards are supported. (Class 10 highly recommended). |
| Network Mapped Drive | Support for writing to shared folders in computers found on a network using Windows Share protocols (SMB v1) (suitable for Windows system) as well as NFS protocols (suitable for Mac and Linux systems). |
