isn’t anyone excited about AJA I/O Express and AVID ?

[Mario Rubertis]

William,
I use the Matrox MXO2 and not too long ago go an MXO2LE with the H.264 option built in, using it primarily with FCP, but I came from AVID. I’m on this forum hoping that AVID would turn on the power of my Matrox box or at least give me a clue 🙁
Before buying the LE, I did my research and compared it to the ioExpress. I found for my needs that the MXO2LE with H.264 was the better buy…why…..
– Analog input for my legacy equipment/clients with tape
– More audio in and out (balanced)
– Up conversion from my SD clips
– 8 tracks of HDMI audio for surround sound
– Matrox HDMI calibration utility
– H.264 acceleration

Just wanted to offer another point of view, I hope this helps. So I guess I’ll wait for AVID to announce the support for MXO2 LE before returning to Media Composer!

The MC 5.5 FAQ page holds a link to the Io Express FAQ which links to this.

too bad, it was a good comparison…

Job, did you happen to save a copy of the PDF before the link died?

Don’t have a copy on this computer.
However, my guess is they found some mistakes in there, and are updating the file. Mind you, this is a very fresh release, and documents are being updated and completed as they are working towards a March release.

MC is 64 bits. this version will be the last to work on 32 bit system.

No, MC is 32 bits, including the new version 5.5. Future versions (MC6?) will be 64 bits.

You can run 32 bit programs on 64 bit OS’s, but not the other way around.
