Hi Folks,

I work with Hubert45, but in another office and I’m just finishing up system upgrades centered around the RT.X2 card. We currently RT.X100 systems and had never experienced this blurring problem. But I was able to see just what he is experiencing. It seems that this new card uses 720×486 as the default for their DV preset, while the RT.x100 uses 720×480. I pulled in a QT that I rendered out of AE and it looked awful! If rendered out of a 720×486 project, it looks as it should back in PP2. AE lists 720×486 as a D1 preset. Does anyone know why Matrox decided to change resolution defaults? Considering this card was seemingly meant as an upgrade path from the RT.X100, the change just doesn’t make sense to me. The resolution settings are greyed out and I don’t now if they can be changed! Maybe this is why I have heard that footage captured with an RT.X100 system is a little sluggish in an RT.X2 timeline. We’ll find out if that’s true in our case later today….
