•RTSP mode If Monarch HD is set to stream in RTSP mode, the unit
delivers stream data once a client connects to Monarch HD using the RTSP
streaming protocol, and therefore does not require you to press the Stream
button. When a client connects to Monarch HD, the Stream LED flashes.
•RTMP mode If Monarch HD is set to stream in RTMP mode, press the
Stream button to begin streaming your input source to the stream destination
specified in the stream settings. Pressing the Stream button starts the stream
for that device only. If your Monarch HD is set to control multiple Monarch
HD devices, you must use the control buttons on the Control page of the
Command Center to start and stop streaming multiple Monarch HD devices
on the network at the same time (see Chapter 5, “Streaming and Recording).
When streaming, the Stream LED flashes. Press the Stream button again to
stop streaming.
¦NoteThe Stream button activates when you release the button. If you want
to start/stop streaming and recording at the same time, press and hold the
Stream and Record buttons and then release them at the same time.

Press the Record button to start recording your input source to the media selected
in the record settings. The Record button is disabled when Monarch HD is set to
Stream-only operating mode. For information on specifying your record settings,
see “Specifying record settings” on page 33. Pressing the Record button starts the
recording for that device only. If your Monarch HD is set to control multiple
Monarch HD devices, use the control buttons on the Control page of the
Command Center to start and stop recording multiple Monarch HD devices on
the network at the same time (see Chapter 5, “Streaming and Recording). When
recording, the Record LED flashes. Press the Record button again to stop the
recording. Unless a specific record duration limit was set in the record settings,
Monarch HD limits the duration of each recording to five hours. The recording
will automatically stop when the duration limit is reached.

start/stop recording and streaming at the same time, press and hold the record and
Stream buttons and then release them at the same time.
