Is it possible?  Yes.  However that machine would have to be very very
powerful to act as both the presentation machine (ie, that the presenter
uses) and the encoding machine that Matterhorn runs on.  This would also
require a fair bit of custom device configuration to integrate capturing
from the local desktop.  This is not a configuration that Matterhorn
supports out of the box.
