Save $200 on Matrox RT.X2 cards and bundles!

The Matrox RT.X2 cards are Real-time HDV accelerators for Premiere Pro CS3 & CS4. Even with a lightning fast Core i7 machine you are going to be limited to the amount of layers / graphics and filters you can apply to your video and still get a smooth workflow and full speed, full resolution playback. With the RT.X2 you'll be able to handle multiple layers of HDV footage even with an older dual core machine. That's real-time HD output to an external monitor via Component HD output!

For only $795 the Matrox RT.X2 LE will turn your Adobe CS3/CS4 video editing system into a video production powerhouse capable of editing HD & SD footage in realtime – that's the HARDWARE ADVANTAGE!

The demand for HD video production is set to skyrocket now that HD televisions are in widespread use and Blu-ray Disc has won the battle of the distribution formats. The time to add HD production capabilities to your repertoire is now. Cameras are affordable and the new Matrox RT.X2 LE card dramatically reduces the cost of a high performance HD editing system. Not only is the price of the card itself lower than ever, it also fits into a low cost desktop system.
