I'm looking into upgrading our 3 broadcast suites to mac intel. We're using LH now. LHi looks like where I want to be since I still need analog audio. Is Kona still the way to go? Should I consider the MXO for broadcast? Thanks! -dMR

I've read posts about using LCD Monitors with the Matrox MXO 2 to create a setup suitable for judging color and exposure in FCP. I'm sold on using the MXO 2, but what model/brand are are you all using for the LCD? I'm still working in DV, however, I'm getting ready to work on projects that will originate on HDV or ADVHC. What might be a good choice for an entry level LCD? What would be...

Hello, Looking for monitor that works well with the MXO, but also has an HDMI input. Would prefer to buy something in the $500-$600 range new, but used would be OK if there’s a model that is discontinued that works especially well. I heard of people using the now discontinued Dell 2408, which is confusing because I think its native resolution was 1920x1200, not the recommended ...

so i noticed the new mxo mini can only do 29.97 frame rates, so can i shoot 720p30 or 720p24 and overcrank and do all the magic on the ex1 but have it record as 29.97 so it goes native through the mxo to my hdtv for true acurate viewing? THANK YOU! Mac OS ...

Hello, I am going to purchase an MXO 2 Mini to connect my laptop to an external monitor, for color correction with FCP6. I have heard that the MXO 2 Mini works well with a computer monitor, provided that the monitor has a "dot for dot" or similar setting, is 1920x1080 resolution, and has an HDMI input. The folks at Matrox said they had used a MXO 2 with an older Dell (I forgot the ...

Rarely used Matrox MXO for sale. Excellent condition includes original packaging and B&H receipt. Selling because it does not operate with my Win 7 workflow. Looking for $499

Hello, I'm trying to help some friends come up with a cheap video monitoring solution. I've been looking at the Matrox MXO and MXO2. What I can't understand is why the MXO2 does not include the ability to monitor video on a computer monitor, like its predecessor. I understand from the POV of Matrox, that maybe people will buy both...but I think they would sell many more of these things ...

System: MacPro 2.66 Quad-Core / 8 GB DDR3 Workflow: Canon XL H1 - firewire capture in Apple ProRes 422 - FCP 6.06 - creating short form videos output as progressive downloadable files (usually 640 x 360) for www. Choices: I have been using Sorenson Squeeze 4.5 for compression to create .flv files. I want to take advantage of H.264 codec and could upgrade to SS 6.0 which uses the...

Daniel & Craig: Thanks for clearing up my confusion re. the MainConcept H.264 codec. To be honest I've looked at so many formats, codecs, and compression solutions recently my head is spinning. But it seems you both agree Episode and MXO is a good solution and fits into my workflow. As usual, being able to bring ideas to COW forums is a a huge help. Dick Walton Natural History ...

I would appreciate some feedback on the following: We edit DV, HDV and h.264 in Premiere CS4 on Windows XP or Vista depending upon the computer. We are looking at using the Matrox MXO-2 mini to capture HDV and h.264 into the Matrox codec, or Neoform perhaps. Thus the perceived need for a fatter pipe. The MXO also offers an uncompressed HD option - presumably requiring even more ...

I was about to order a MXO 2 Mini today, but the merchant did not know much about the about the product, and was a little curt. I guess I can just call Matrox in the future for questions, but I do want I do want to buy from someone who is easy to deal with, maybe even friendly. I live in the east (USA), but I'm not that concerned with the exact location of dealer, just prefer not west ...

Andy, Your last post cleared up a lot for me. I plan to order the MXO 2 Mini tomorrow and probably the Dell U2410. Many thanks for the detail in your responses. It's extremely hard to get this kind of info, as it seems few are using the MXO 2 series with computer monitors. -Chris

Well crap. Not gonna find anything in the 24" range except for broadcast TVs. You will find HDTVs, but nothing as good as the Panasonic 42" I linked to. And Broadcast Monitors...good ones...start at about $2500. Why the 24" limit? Shane MacPro Octo 3.0Ghz, 4GB RAM, ATI x1900XT, ...

Well the truth is that I have the Matrox MXO2 mini installed in my new Nehalem desktop studio machine, and now with the new software update, both FCP and PrPro CS4 are working very well for me! I also have Windows 7 installed on one of my internal MAC drives and the MXO 2 mini works on CS4 as well! I was using the regular MXO with my older Mac laptop for play out in HD theaters (when they ...
