Im confused…”Matrox Axio HD is priced at $11,495 US in North America. Matrox Axio SD is priced at $7,495 US in North America. Prices include the complete Adobe Video Collection Standard, the workstation and storage are extra”
I was under the impression that the already heafty price tags were for complete turnkey solutions, now they are saying that these prices are for the card only??? Seems incredibly steep to me considering whats out in the market at the moment.
Perhapse someone should point out to Matrox what is available with cards like Blufish and even the Canopus Edius NX for a fraction of the above price. Of course the Canopus solution doesnt use Ppro but hell, considering Axio cant even handle HDV at this time…

I’m sure they will get there, plus they need to handle DVCPro100.
They’ve really aimed this product at broadcasters where “realtime” needs to be realtime…none of this keeping your eyelids open with toothpicks while printing to tape in case there is a glitch, and having to render clips from other codecs before you can use them “realtime”.
We’ve been running Digisuites for 6 years now and if this generation of boardset does what it advertises Adobe Premiere may finally be “Pro”.
