Matrox certifies nNovia QuickCapture 'direct-to-disk' portable digital video recorders for use with Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme Pro realtime video editing platform

Montreal, Canada, August 2, 2004 - Matrox Video Products Group today announced the completion of compatibility testing and certification of the nNovia QuickCapture family of products for use with the Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme Pro and RT.X10 Suite realtime video editing platforms. QuickCapture and QuickCapture A2D are designed for ENG and professional videographers to record "Edit-Ready" clips directly to an internal hard disk from any DV or analog camcorder, thus eliminating the "capture" step typical in nonlinear editing workflow.

"The combination of one of the QuickCapture products and RT.X100 Xtreme Pro saves time and money," said Stephen Albanese, Matrox senior product manager. "Video files are instantly available in the native Matrox AVI format. The user simply connects either QuickCapture or QuickCapture A2D to their RT.X100 Xtreme Pro via 1394 cable, then drags & drops the content into their Adobe Premiere Pro timeline to begin editing."
