Matrox MXO2 Mini with Cineform
Hello,
I was reading about this Matrox MXO2 Mini Now Provides Inexpensive HDMI Monitoring for AVCHD Editing with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and CineForm NeoScene News: Matrox MXO2 Mini Now Provides Inexpensive HDMI Monitoring for AVCHD Editing with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and CineForm NeoScene How far off is the Blackmagic Decklink realtime output of Cineform projects to a Broadcast monitor via hd/sdi, component, HDMI etc? Or is it just easier to get a AJA XENA LHE card under Windows and get rid of my Multibridge Eclipse? As it's annoying not be able to watch what you are editing using Blackmagic cards and the suppport for the XENA cards are already there. Leo |

I cant answer your question but I do use the Matrox mini for Cineform files and it works great.

Leo,
Simply Blackmagic drivers are harder to work with. We have to make architectural changes to support it, some of the changes are underway for CS4 (not just for Blackmagic.)

The big difference here is that the folks at Matrox are supporting the team at Cineform and vice-versa. I am happily surprised at how fast and smoothly things are going on this and I hope it's the beginning of a long term relationship that extends up and down both companies product lines.
With the Intensity Pro card being dumped at $199, do you really think Blackmagic is going to be putting any investment into it going forward???? Gary

Matrox MXO2 Mini with Cineform Capture
Hi David and David,
What would be the processor and other hardware specs needed to capture 1080 24p (from the HV20) with a Matrox MXO2 Mini? I've got a 2.4 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro that I would run on Windows through Boot Camp if I can't capture on OSX. -Geoff |

That's why I bought it. Also it doesnt use any PC processing power to view either. I did have a small problem with jerkiness... but that was because my files were a little fragmented.... quick defrag and everything was back to normal.

Will it capture?
Hey what I really want to know is can we use the Matrox Mini to capture directly to Cineform, and then playout in the timeline. It sounded like they were tiptoeing around this in the press release. I thought the MXO mini only captured to Mpeg2, granted with higher bitrates, but I'd much rather have a Cineform only workflow. Is it happening now?

Chris,
No capture to CineForm over MXO2. The Matrox API does not allow this yet, please put in your request with Matrox. We also want to support it within First Light, but the same API limitations will need to be overcome.
