    [David Jahns] “Here’s what I read about London:

    6. FCPX Broadcast video output via #Blackmagic & @AJAVideo coming soon…”

    Yes David, and that was what forced Apple to contact people and get them to walk it back. Tweeters have been forced to clarify it, as Philip Hodgetts also weighed in confirming it. Matrox has been under pressure to announce when they will have drivers for the MX02. They have announced it is not possible. Here’s the gist of it:

    Matrox made there announcement this morning and categorically stated that there is no way to get video out…

    “FCP X does not support professional video monitoring. For full-screen, preview-quality output you can use the second DisplayPort output from your computer in Full Screen Mode”

    Peter Wiggins who was also at the meeting clarified that he did not hear anyone say that pro video output was coming. And the original poster has posted several corrections on Twitter after being contacted by Apple.

    This is why I say it’s good to keep getting more clarifications about what the truth really is. It’s a shame we have to pull teeth to get the truth… why can’t Apple just address all the areas that they know are serious?

    Ah – thanks for the clarification, Mitch. I didn’t hear the details about that. (the video out walk back.)

    Yeah – ColorSync – gonna be awesome, right?!

    I went to NAB this year, and the day after the Supermeet, a guy from AJA was walking around the floor muttering to himself, “I know too much, but can’t say anything, Argghh…. I know too much…”

    I think Larry Jordan was blogging the same thing. But just more eloquently.

    [Bret Williams] ” Matrox has nothing to say here.”

    But it sounds like something new. Marketing spin.
