There is a great thread going on over at the Creative Cow about the Matrox MAX technology. Highly respected industry experts have all chimed in and the answer is clear. THEY LOVE THE MXO2 and the MAX encoding technology!!
What great thread. MAX is the secret ingredient that gives the Matrox MXO2 family of products a leg up on other excellent I/O devices such as the Kona. As was mentioned here, if you have a Kona card, keep on using it! You can add the CompressHD card to your Mac Pro and get (Read More)

There are some great discussions going on at the Avid User Community Forums about the MXO2 Mini and the what if anyhting the MAX technology can do for Avid editors. I'm going to share some of that here with you.
Just to clarify: the max would work fine with MC5, just without H.264 acceleration?
Correct. If you purchase the Mini with Max, it will function exactly like a standard mini with MC5. The MAX technology just gets ignored

For your consideration: a slick little box that captures HD and SD video, and outputs video in just as many formats. Unequivocal success, you would say? Certainly is - and even better, it can also perform faster-than-real-time H.264 compression operations through hardware. Knowledge is power when selecting any kind of video capture device, and Matrox has a great amount of background in this field, dating back to their original RT.X family of capture devices.

I’ve covered Matrox for a number of years. With the development of the MXO and MXO2 units, Matrox has put together one of the strongest families of I/O products that are available for the Apple Final Cut Pro editing customer. The original MXO was designed to use the video signal from one of the internal graphics card’s DVI ports and turn that into a broadcast quality signal for output and monitoring. The MXO2 was built as a more traditional ingest and output system. Instead of DVI, the MXO2 conn ( Read More)

The Matrox MXO2 Mini is definitely a solid piece of hardware that will not disappoint. At just $450 for the Matrox MXO2 Mini without the MAX hardware you have a solid I/O device that can capture just about any source a client will throw at you. Also, Matrox’s calibration software will allow you to monitor your video properly to any HDMI monitor. The choice of codec and bitrate will fit any project that you might face and the HDMI in and out is a dream if you’re neurotic about your cabling – e ( Read More)

"The Matrox MAX technology has revolutionized our workflow. Our camera crews typically would record to tape or FireStore drives using our Canon HV20/HV40, Sony PMW-EX1, and Panasonic HPX500 camcorders. They would then ship the tapes or drives back to our facility where staff would transfer the footage to Final Cut Server. It would take us a day just to see it, then another three or four hours to add all the metadata so the editors could get to work. Once the editing was done we would output from ( Read More)
