DigiSuite software for use with DigiSuite card sets (version 7.2)

DigiUtils 7.2 provides support for new components on DigiSuite DTV, DigiSuite LE, and DigiSuite LX cards issued after September 1, 2003. If you have one of these new cards, you must install DigiUtils 7.2 in order for the card to be properly detected during the DigiSuite software installation and when starting your system.

Important: This release includes all the new features in DigiUtils 7.1, but does not add any new features or bug fixes. Therefore, if you presently have DigiUtils 7.1 installed, you do not need to install DigiUtils 7.2. For a list of new features included with DigiUtils 7.1, see the Matrox DigiSuite Release Notes.

DigiUtils 7.2 has been tested and approved for use with Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 1 is recommended) and Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4 is recommended). If you have a new installation of Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4, you'll need to install a hotfix after installing DigiUtils 7.2 as explained in the Utilities section on this web page (see Hotfix for Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4).

Notes

Support for in-sync Speed Razor in-sync has completed testing of DigiUtils 7.2 and approved this version for use with Speed Razor. For customer support and information about using Speed Razor with DigiUtils 7.2, please contact in-sync.

Inscriber/CG update required To allow the Inscriber/CG plug-in for Adobe Premiere to work properly with DigiUtils 7.2, you must replace the icg.exe file on your system with a new version provided on this web page (see Inscriber/CG update required for use with DigiUtils 7.2).

DirectX 9 not supported Microsoft DirectX 9 has not been fully tested with DigiUtils 7.2. If you install DirectX 9, you do so at your own risk.

Upgrading to a Matrox Parhelia or Millennium P-Series display card Before you can upgrade your existing Matrox G400, G450, or G550 display card to Matrox Parhelia, Millennium P650, or Millennium P750, you must follow the detailed instructions in the Release Notes for your system. You can download the latest Parhelia and Millennium P-Series display drivers using the link on this page in the Matrox display drivers section.

Once you've downloaded all the parts into the same folder, run the DigiUtils72setup.exe.bat file to reassemble the files. Some browsers may attach a .zip extension to the end of the .001 split file. You must remove the .zip extension from the .001 file before running the .bat file. Then open the resulting file.

Please note that the split files are equivalent to the single 69.8-MB file once reassembled. They were simply created to facilitate the download operation for regular modem users.
