Portable Broadcast-Quality Audio/Video Output Adapter Streamlines Mac-based Video Production Workflows

Matrox ® Video Products Group today announced that over 1000 Matrox MXO units have been shipped to users worldwide in the first 60 days of production. An easy-to-use DVI-to-audio/video output adapter for the Mac, Matrox MXO takes the DVI output from a Mac computer or laptop and converts it to broadcast-quality video. Users can preview Apple Final Cut Pro projects or the output of other QuickTime-based applications such as Apple Soundtrack Pro and Motion, as well as Adobe After Effects as they will actually appear on TV and record them frame accurately to tape. Matrox MXO can also be used to provide a flicker-free video output of the computer desktop with any application, allowing the user to record and display Keynote and PowerPoint presentations, web browser sessions, and software application training. Matrox MXO will be demonstrated at IBC 2006 on the Matrox stand 7.128.

“It’s obvious that Matrox MXO, with its patent-pending technology, provides important workflow enhancements for video production professionals on the Mac platform,” said Alberto Cieri, Matrox sales and marketing director. “Broadcasters, post facilities, and project studios across the globe have discovered the benefits inherent in this costeffective external box, that’s so easy-to-use.”

“One of the greatest things about the MXO is its portability. It has all external connections so we can plug it into whichever system we need it for. We can even take it on the road with our MacBook Pro and get realtime HD monitoring,” said Greg Mulvey, Creative Director at Presto Productions. “Another important feature is the realtime HDV to SD conversion. That’s already saved me literally days in rendering time.”

“Wow! Now I have a monitoring solution for HDV, not to mention DVCPRO HD, without the added expense of a capture card and SDI to DVI adapter,” said Ned Soltz, Editor, Producer, Consultant, and Writer about all things video. “Wait a minute… I even have a solution for presenting HD material. My clients and I are all impressed. Way to go Matrox!!”

“MXO is the box you look at and say why didn’t someone think of this sooner,” said Steve Oakley, Digital Illusionist, DP, Motion Graphics Designer and Editor, at Practical Illusions. “I use it on my G5’s second DVI port for realtime SD downconverts of my HDV edits in FCP. Everything I shoot now is HD which I bring in via FireWire, and then output to SD analog component BetaSP. I’ve also been using it to drive an LCD display with the pass thru DVI connector to see both HD on my LCD and SD on my broadcast CRT at the same time so I know what it looks like in both formats. The MXO can letterbox or center cut HD to 4:3 on its downconverts with a single setting change, in real time, so I can see how each format works which is great with clients sitting in the room.”
