The goal of this guide is to provide you with a general foundation of knowledge about each of the most popular HD formats, so that you can use this information as part of your decision. It is not a technical manual. I am going to do my best to avoid tech speak and keep it in simple to understand terms. If you can, try to borrow it and try it yourself. If you already have an HD camcorder, this guide will help you better understand the format you have, and it’s pluses and minuses for post produc ( Read More)

If you are reading this article, I think it’s a pretty safe bet that you have a big screen HD TV in your house. Now that you have it, you wonder how you ever watched sports or the latest action movie or a documentary or even the cooking channel without it. I know that now when I watch standard definition TV, all I can think about is how much better it would look in HD! Lets face it, everything just looks better in HD. Well maybe not everything or everyone, but I think you get the picture. It’s ( Read More)

When I first turned on the new Ikan V8000HDMI monitor, a line from one of my favorite movies came to mind. My version of Dave Bowman’s “My God, it’s full of stars” line from 2001 A Space Odyssey was, “My God, “it’s full of colors!” Beautiful, dense, vivid colors. ( Read More)

Some time has passed since the MXO2 shipped in 2008 enough time for people who were a little hesitant about Matrox coming back to the Mac with some new offerings to really test the waters with the MXO and now the MXO2. I can say that it is truly a well rounded I/O device and I will spare alot of you with the full run down of specs because that can all be found at the main site for the MXO2 HERE. ( Read More)

Earlier when I gave my first impressions of the MXO2, I made these first impressions with a BETA version of the software. I had the 1.2 drivers but they didn't do all that I needed. I needed to upscale SD to HD. I thought there was something that I overlooked. The website said that the MXO2 did upscaling of SD to HD...but it did it on OUTPUT, not injest. I didn't know this, I was digging around looking for that option...couldn't find it. So having a pal at Matrox I asked "hey, I need the MXO2 to ( Read More)

I think we can safely say that the concept of a broadcast editing suite in a bag was well and truly proven with the help of the MXO2. The progress of technology is amazing and I’m sure the novelty value of being able to turn up at a broadcast job with just a computer bag will disappear as it becomes the norm. This box really does change things again. Once it was bigger, better. Now it is smaller, faster, cheaper. For a piece of broadcast equipment, this thing is small, light and cheap. ( Read More)

The best part of the MXO2 is the price. I can’t think of another portable or desktop unit that delivers what it does for $1,595. There are more expensive options in the marketplace, and if you need real-time HD ProRes 4:2:2 capture in the field, the MXO2 may not be for you. But it meets my needs, not just in terms of price and features but, most importantly, in terms of its quality, stability and dependability. ( Read More)
