Matrox Video Capture Cards

This card is what many Premiere users have been waiting for - with HD Component In/Out & real-time effects whilst editing HDV material. Although it would appear to be a direct replacement for the RT.X100, it is modelled on the high-end Matrox Axio series of editing cards, and has far better integration with Premiere's effects controls window and key-framing.

A new version of the popular RT.X2, redesigned as a ¾-length PCIe card.
The RT.X2 LE has all of the powerful editing features of the original, at a considerably lower price (though please note that the LE does not include a DVI output for HD display, only component).

A new bundle from Matrox from the start of October 2007 - buy the RT.X2 hardware with Premiere Pro, Encore and OnLocation

The RT.X2SD is a direct replacement for the successful but long-in-the-tooth Matrox RT.X100. It is based on the RT.X2 technology which means a faster interface with the PC (meaning more in realtime than with RT.X100) and effects which are built-in the Premiere interface instead of opening in their own Matrox window. So better integrated with Premiere than the RT.X100 and also faster!

Key features of Matrox RT.X2 SD:

• Realtime multi-layer editing of video, graphics, and effects.
• Realtime Matrox Flex CPU effects – color correction, speed changes (and better quality than Premiere's native slow motion), chroma/luma keying and many more.
• Realtime and accelerated Matrox Flex GPU effects – 2D/3D DVE, blur/glow/soft focus, shine and many more.
• Native DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO, and MPEG-2 4:2:2 I-frame SD editing .
• Realtime HDV clip downscaling in an SD timeline.
• Realtime mixed-format multi-cam in an SD timeline.
• Accelerated export to DVD, multimedia formats including Flash Video, and Adobe Clip Notes.
• WYSIWYG for Adobe After Effects, Photoshop and Bridge, Autodesk Combustion and 3ds Max, eyeon Fusion, NewTek LightWave 3D, and Windows Media Player with dynamic Alt+Tab switching.
• Composite, Y/C, and analog component SD input and output.
• For use with your copy of Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe Production Studio.
