  • Matrox MXO or Blackmagic HDLink with M100?

    Hi All

    I’m looking for a monitoring solution from M100 SDI out using an Eizo 24 inch LCD 1920 x 1200 which has both HDMI and DVI inputs.

    The MXO gets good reviews, the HDlink seems to offer similar features for less money – anybody have experience of these with M100?

    I want to be able to monitor fields when working with interlaced material and also have the image full screen when viewing SD.

    Thanks in advance

    Andy

    Question:
    INTERLACING: My main issue here is whether XMO will display the interlaced fields of SD video… ALSO read elsewhere on the site: “The MXO provides interlace viewing on a progressive monitor.” so that’s encouraging, but i need to check.

    Answer:
    We do display every single field. The MXO
