Flexible support for leading codecs, file formats, cameras, and workflows
The MXO2 product family lets you work with virtually any codec, file format, camera, and workflow out there.
Works with a variety of codecs
The Matrox MXO2 devices let you work with all the codecs supported by Adobe Premiere Pro including AVCHD, HDV, DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO, and DV. You can also capture video from within the Adobe Premiere Pro capture interface to 8- and 10-bit uncompressed and Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame codecs in HD and SD.
Use your favorite file-based formats
The Matrox MXO2 devices give you full-screen monitoring as you work with file-based formats such as XDCAM, XDCAM HD, XDCAM EX, P2, and P2HD in Adobe Premiere Pro.
RED workflow support (does not apply to Matrox MXO2 Mini)
RED users can benefit from Matrox MXO2 LE, MXO2 or MXO2 Rack to capture, monitor, and playback on set. Back in the post suite, you can use your Matrox MXO2 device to work with R3D files and output to SD, 720, or 1080.
Closed Captioning Support with Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 lets you attach a closed caption data file to a sequence and display the closed captions in the Program Monitor and through Firewire DV output. Compatible file types are described as .mcc and .scc files for use in DTV (CEA-708) and SD (CEA-608) transmissions respectively.
All Matrox MXO2 devices can add appropriately formatted closed captioning data to line 21 of analog SD outputs for monitoring and print-to-tape. They can also let you use standard (non-closed captioning enabled) monitors to preview HD timelines with closed captioning data by overlaying decoded closed captioning text over the previewed video. This is the ideal cost-effective way to see your closed captions, even when you're using an inexpensive HDMI display as your program monitor.
Matrox MXO2 LE, MXO2, and MXO2 Rack can also embed closed captioning data in SDI streams in accordance with the above specifications and let you simultaneously deliver HD-SDI and analog SD masters containing closed captions.
