Matrox MXO is a versatile, all-in-one monitoring, output, and scan conversion device for the Mac that you’ll use in many different ways. Because it’s small and portable, it makes your laptop a mobile editor. And because it’s hot swappable, you can easily move it to any workstation in your facility.

Matrox MXO is ideal for:

• Inexpensive HD monitoring
• Frame-accurate, broadcast-quality HD/SD output
• Genlockable HD/SD scan conversion for flicker-free video output of your computer desktop

Frame-accurate, broadcast-quality HD/SD output

Frame accurate output

Matrox MXO provides frame accurate output for all QuickTime-based applications that support the V-out component including Final Cut Pro, Color, Soundtrack Pro, Motion, Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and After Effects. It features genlockable HD/SD SDI with up to 8 channels of embedded audio, HD/SD analog component, Y/C, and composite outputs, and stereo audio monitoring. Genlock timing offset controls can be used to align your video output relative to your external genlock source to compensate for cable delays within your facility. Simultaneous SDI and analog outputs in HD or SD let you view your project on a broadcast video monitor and record to tape at the same time. A third-party RS-422 adapter is required for deck control.

Realtime HD to SD downscaling

Matrox MXO provides realtime HD to SD downscaling so that you can record an SD master of your HD project in real time. MXO provides proper conversion of the HD color space to the SD color space and proper aspect ratio conversion to anamorphic, letterbox, and center cut. The scaling is done in hardware, placing no burden on the CPU and GPU, so you have more processing power available for your application.
