Release 3.
Professional realtime HD and SD editing platforms
for Adobe CS3 Production Premium
If you're a professional video editor concerned about getting maximum productivity from Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and Adobe
CS3 Production Premium, have a look at the Matrox RT.X2 product line – the ideal solutions for corporate communicators,
event videographers, project studios, educational facilities and digital filmmakers. If you’re delivering your work in SD, Matrox
RT.X2 SD is right for you. If you need the flexibility to edit and view HDV or P2 MXF 720p and output HD, choose Matrox RT.X2.
Both Matrox RT.X2 SD and Matrox RT.X2 go far beyond the capabilities of software-only editing and systems that combine Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
and a simple I/O card. The additional benefits you get include:
• Many more realtime layers of video and graphics
• More effects in real time including color correction, chroma/luma keying, speed changes, blur/glow/soft focus, 3D DVE and much more
• Extensive camera support with Matrox RT.X2 including many new models from Canon, JVC, Panasonic, and Sony
• Native editing of Panasonic P2 MXF 720p and SD files with Matrox RT.X2
• Capture from analog sources to compressed MPEG-2 4:2:2 I-frame
• Realtime playback of 32-bit MPEG-2 I-frame AVI files with alpha
• Realtime mixed-format multi-cam
• Accelerated export to DVD and all multimedia formats
• Composite, Y/C, and analog component input and output
• WYSIWYG video output for motion graphics, animation, and compositing applications
• Audio VU meters on capture
• Full-resolution HD monitoring on an inexpensive flat panel display via independent DVI output with Matrox RT.X2
With the Matrox RT.X2 platforms, you’ll save time on every project so you can concentrate on creating your best work and building your business. There
are three products to choose from. Matrox RT.X2 is available as a value-priced bundle with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 or as hardware-only for use with your
copy of the Adobe software. Matrox RT.X2 SD is available as hardware-only.
