Complete professional HD/SD I/O for Mac and PC: Matrox MXO2

Avid Editing Systems

Avid's support of Matrox MXO2 Mini gives Media Composer users a very inexpensive HD monitoring solution. But that's not the only benefit Matrox products offer Avid users. Matrox MXO2 Mini with the built-in MAX H.264 encoding accelerator option lets you deliver H.264 files for the web, mobile devices, and Blu-ray at speeds up to five times faster than software alone, without sacrificing quality.

On the PC, you can speed up deliveries of H.264 files for the web, mobile devices, and Blu-ray using Adobe Media Encoder, which you already own if you are using Adobe After Effects for your motion graphic creation. Using Matrox MAX with Adobe Media Encoder lets you deliver H.264 files up to five times faster than if you export from Sorenson Squeeze software.

Exporting to an H.264 file on the PC

Not only do you get superior speed and quality, you can also tweak the power of Matrox MAX to meet your specific needs. The vast array of fine-tuneable controls lets you optimize encoding speed and video quality. Web video publishers, in particular, will appreciate the ability of Matrox MAX technology to deliver superb quality video at low bit rates.
