Matrox A/V Tools application for fast capture/playback of audio, video, and still frames

Matrox A/V Tools is a stand-alone application for fast capture and playback of your audio/video assets. It's very useful with Adobe applications such as Encore, Media Encoder, and After Effects, as well as other Video for Windows compatible applications because video sources can be digitized without the need to capture through Adobe Premiere Pro.

Matrox A/V Tools lets you capture HD and SD analog, SDI, or HDMI video from your camera or VTR into AVI files on your computer. You can choose to capture to the uncompressed 8- or 10-bit codecs for the highest quality or to the highly efficient Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame codec at up to 300 Mb/s. When your acquisition format is XDCAM or AVCHD, using the Matrox MPEG- 2 I-frame codec as an intermediate format for editing greatly improves productivity.

Matrox A/V Tools provides on-screen transport controls to let you navigate quickly and easily through clips on disk. You can create playlists and change the order of clips by simply dragging and dropping them. You can also grab single-frame images and save them as TGA files to create photo montages.
