DV by Ned Soltz
As the production
world evolved to easily accessible flavors of HD such as HDV and DVCPRO
HD, editors were confronted with the dilemma of how to monitor output
without pricey capture cards and dedicated component or SDI monitors.
Matrox came to the
rescue with the development of the Matrox MXO, a device that takes DVI
output from your Mac’s video card (desktop or notebook) and converts it
to frame-accurate, color space-accurate video. This video can be
displayed on an Apple 23? display or compatible 23-24? display, which
can then be calibrated with color bars through the MXO application. The
device also includes SDI output with embedded audio and
component/composite output. It will down-res HD to SD on the fly to
these SDI and analog outputs. MXO supports output from any Mac
QuickTime-based application, including Avid Media Composer 3. It
remains the most economical-yet-accurate display solution on the market
today.
But what about those who need capture capabilities from HD or SD,
analog or digital sources? And what about those who need capture and
display capability both in the studio and out in the field? Matrox
offered an answer with the introduction of the MX02 at NAB 2008. read more…
