| New Matrox MXO2 Mini to enhance capabilities of Avid Media Composer 5.5 |
| Posted: April 2011 | ||||||
The newly released Avid Media Composer 5.5 editing system recently received support
in the form of the Matrox MXO2 Mini, which is able to transform a HDMI screen into a professional-grade video monitor with “unique” colour calibration tools. The Matrox MXO2 Mini is a small, lightweight, external box, ideal for file-based workflows in studio, on set, in the field and in OB vans. It provides HDMI, analogue component, S-Video, and composite output and cross-platform support for Macs and PCs, laptops and workstations. Users can also take advantage of the Matrox Vetura Capture application for quick and easy capture to Avid DNxHD or other popular Avid-supported codecs. In addition, Media Composer V5.5 now adds support for new 720p and 1080p workflows with the Matrox MXO2 Mini, including the ability to select PsF or true P output on 1080p modes. David Colantuoni, director, Product Management at Avid Technology, said: “[The Matrox MXO2 Mini] has given Avid Media Composer release 5.0 an excellent HDMI monitoring tool for digital workflows. In addition, our new release of Avid Media Composer 5.5 brings new format and frame rate support and unique H.264 delivery options with Matrox Max technology.” Wayne Andrews, product manager at Matrox, added: “This version of Matrox MXO2 with the built-in Max H.264 encoding accelerator option at US$849 lets Mac users deliver H.264 files for the Web, iPad, iPhone and other mobile devices, directly from Media Composer at speeds of up to five times faster than software alone, without sacrificing quality. “Matrox Max even allows delivery directly from Media Composer up to three times faster than other popular encoders.”
