Monarch HD

[greg.johnson@yale.edu]

To whom it may concern,

The Monarch HD device works well as advertised. Our video producer prefers the output of the device to other recording devices we have. It has greatly increased our reliability for streaming since the Monarch HD can be remotely controlled via Crestron or the web interface (eliminates someone forgetting to start the stream and/or recording).

In our setup, the Monarch records to a local NFS server and streams to our remote CDN (ustream.tv). It also combines the recording and streaming into one device, which reduces the amount of equipment in our studio.
