hardware acceleration for Premiere Pro
In the non-axio range of products, what is there besides the RT.X 100 for real-time acceleration of Premiere Pro? (namely, real-time output to video monitor with syncronous timeline performance) Does the RT X 100 live up to Matrox’s advertising? Seems like an affordable solution if it does.

Matrox RTX100 xtreme Pro card works very well for me (and as advertised) I am welll pleased with mone now I got rid of a single plaguing issue. ( Caused by CPU temperature)
Beware… it is hardware/system “fussy” and takes a bit of setting up in the first instance. Read the system requirements and everything else posted about how to install and set up before you jump in. Works best in a totally dedicated NLE system ( eg Adobe Suite)

thanks. yes it seems like it is computer specific, based upon the multitude of posts in the matrox forum. we have a hardware specialist here, so I’ll leave it in his hands if we do get this.

I built my pc for strictly Matrox and Adobe. I am by no way a pc guru, I stuck strictly to the Matrox specs orded the MB and other parts online giving the dealer the specs I needed. Put in 3 harddrives, 1 system 1 for video and 1 for audio. System works fine for me. Also put Premiere on a new HP nx9600 laptop and it works fine there off the system drive.
good luck

I’m one of Matrox’s biggest cheerleaders, and I love the RTx. It’s a great card and it’s got great performance, and has awesome features.
You really DO have to be VERY careful about how it’s setup. I see a lot of hardware only purchases at my office come back only to have us reintegrate it for them later on.
Don’t forget that you can check out the CC Matrox forum for help with technical issues.

On the other side of the coin, my experiences with an RTX 100 were not good, and I’ve reverted to editing without it. (On a fast dual xeon, it’s not a hardship.)
I was attracted by the realtime 3D – which works, but with aliased edges, only disguised in the default set-up by subsrtatnital edge softening. Not an unattractive look, but not one you want all the time.
And for those of us in the PAL world, the RTX100’s inversion of standard DV field order in PAL is unfortunate. I found it made for tougher co-operation with other software.
Just an alternative view – you could put the extra cash into a speedy system (twin opterons, twin xeons) and storage …!
