Matrox makes several dozen products. Could you be more specific? Then someone might be able to help you.

The MXO2 family is essentially an input/output solution that allows for input and/or output of analog and digital video and audio sources one at a time. A VERY ELEGANT solution, but "merely" an I/O solution never the less.

I use the Matrox MXO2 Mini with Max out in the field. I use it for two things: Monitoring the timeline with a large consumer grade HDMI monitor Accelerating H.264 output If you don't need to do either of these things, you don't really need one. I also have the AJA IO Express which is basically the same box, but with HD-SDI IO. Matrox's version would be called the MXO2LE. We use the AJA IO Express units to Capture HD-SDI from the camera direct to ProResHQ on a 17" laptop. This allows for capturing a much higher data rate than the camera is capable of. ProRes HQ is 220mbps rather than the cameras 35mbps. It makes a big difference when chroma keying since you're able store so much more color information and pixel information. Here is a little video I did on the Intensity Pro, which is alot like the Matrox, except it's a PCIe card for a desktop unit only. With the Matrox MXO2 family and the AJA IO Express, you can get Express34 cards or PCI-e cards to use them in a desktop or a laptop. I hope this helps clarify things and brings out a few more questions that we can answer. |
