Can I capture video from my Canon XHA1 using the Matrox MX02? Yes, absolutely. In addition to Firewire, the camera offers composite and component outputs. Your best option would be to capture from the camera's component HD outputs and run that into the MXO2. Best Andy

Good to know...thanks.

No. That is a TAPELESS format. To convert RED footage to other formats, you need to use the RED Encoders. The MXO2 converts incoming SIGNALS from decks or cameras. Or if you have the MAX, it will add power to Compressor to convert to H.264. But it doesn't do RED. Shane GETTING ORGANIZED WITH FINAL CUT PRO DVD ...don't miss it.

I just want the best quality picture, but also be portable. (maybe a 50ft BNC to my macpro could do it) So am I better off recording to the sxs (sony ex1) and forget about using the mxo2? or am I getting a better picture using the mx02 and recording using "maxtor apple pro res 4:2:2 (lt)" am I keeping the 4:2:2 color space? Like I said I do chromakeying all day long. WTF!!! 1080p aint supported? what should I do? I just switched...

Hey Andy and Shane: Thanks for the info. Using a Sony 14L5 CRT that is compatible with 23.98 and original MXO James Mulryan Sunset Park Media, LLC Santa Monica, CA info@jamesmulryan.com

hey andy- well, its all getting more technical than i care to pursue, just want to get back to work. My old blackmagic card showed up in my Sound Preferences and I assume most other video i/os do as well. I keep thinking there must be some cost-related reason Matrox didn't include this functionality in the MX02, but then again there are scores of very inexpensive FW interfaces that do show up there and don't bug out SoundtrackPro......

I am following up with a very helpful tech on my issue. I have to say I appreciate the diligence and Matrox is doing a hell of a job making me feel like a VIP. All this, the rave reviews and the promise of what this card can do make me not want to give up on this. Doing all I can with Matrox's help to get this working for me!

Hello, I realise I am chiming in late, but I'd like to clarify what the ConvertDVI is. The physical form of the ConvertDVI is the same as the MXO, but the featureset, FPGA firmware, programming, etc.. atre not the same. For starters the ConvertDVI is configured via PC not MAC. Once configured, it can operate as a stand alone appliance that need not be connect to a computer. Once programmed as a satnd alone appliance it can get it's...
