Matrox MXO 2
Here I am at NAB, and working the Matrox booth. There are a LOT of exciting things to see…but I am working…so I don’t get to see much. BUT, I did get to see the new Matrox MXO 2..and that is exciting. Input and output…upconversion, downconversion, CROSS conversion. Capture to DVCPRO HD, ProRes, UNCOMPRESSED HD
Gah…I am trying to post this while working the booth, and I keep getting interrupted. I wrote more about this on my blog.

I want to get to see Scarlet, but THAT isn’t going to happen. But at lunch I will check out Edit Share. Hearing too much good about that.

Neato!
if it had fw 800 ingest and pro res capture accelaration
like the AJA I/O HD, I’d buy it instead.maybe next year 😉

Ah, but it can capture uncompressed HD…the I/O cannot…because it connects via PCIe and Express34. (Uncompressed 8-bit via a laptop)
But true, without the onboard ProRes encoder you need a beefy machine to do the transcoding, and the current MacBook Pros cannot do that without help.
AND…according to MAtrox this has a built in SD Blackburst AND Tri-level sync generator. Built in. Apparently the MXO has this built in too. Who knew?
All this is remains to be seen, as it is still being worked on and is due out in July. The proof is in the pudding…when we get it into our hands and see it for ourselves.
