Hi,

First I upgraded my Color to version 1.0.2 from the Apple Updates. Then I got my hands on the beta drivers Matrox has available on their user forum.

Once both we updated, from FCP I selected “Send To…Color”

Within Color I selected the “uncompressed 1080i” option for the MXO.

I was working in HDV within FCP, however, the Color project settings are set to, I think FCP does this themselves, 1920×1080, when I found that out, I had no more aspect issue like I had when I selected an HDV video out within Color.

Color is working!

One thing you need to know is that you need to set your output to full rez.

I’m using HDV, and set my output to 1080i HDV, aspect was wrong.

Once I set Color to the project settings, full 1080, the MXO outputted correctly.

I used “send to Color” from FCP.

Color and my MXO is awesome !!!!!!!!

Also let’s not forget that all the suggestions made here can be connected to a laptop. The MXO is flexible in that way.
Get the MXO like Shane suggested, I did, and I’m happy with my purchase.

Incorrect Gary. The MXO has the ability to do Realtime Downscaling and offers on the fly Letterboxing, Anamorphic and Center cut conversions.
I use that feature all the time with my MXO.

the MXO may be your savior
