Matrox Limited Warranty Limited Warranty Statement 1 Matrox* ("Matrox") having its head office at 1055 St-Regis Blvd., Dorval, Quebec Canada tel: (514) 822-6000 warrants that the Matrox hardware products (the "Matrox Product") will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of three (3) years from the date of purchase by the original customer ("Customer" or "You") who provides adequate proof of purchase and payment (for example, a copy of your sales receipt or purchase invoice). The warranties provided by Matrox in this Matrox limited warranty statement apply only to Matrox Products that the Customer purchases for use, and not for resale. This warranty applies only to the original Customer and is non-transferable. MATROX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE MATROX PRODUCT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS IN THE MATROX PRODUCT WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE MATROX PRODUCT WILL MEET THE CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENTS OR PERFORM WITH ANY HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES. Conditions and limitations of Matrox's warranty are stated below. 2 Matrox's limited warranty applies only to the Matrox Product entirely manufactured by or for Matrox. The limited warranty does not apply to any non-Matrox hardware products or any software, even if packaged or sold with the Matrox Product. Manufacturers, suppliers or publishers other than Matrox may provide their own warranties to the Customer, but Matrox, insofar as permitted by law, provides their products "as is." Software provided by Matrox is not covered under this limited warranty (please refer to the licensing agreement accompanying the software for details of the terms applicable to such). 3 Matrox's limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a result of normal use of the Matrox Product and does not apply to any damage which arises from: a improper or inadequate maintenance; b incompatibilities due to the Customer's hardware or software applications, including non-Matrox products, with or in which the Matrox Product interfaces; c Matrox Product of a special or custom-made nature; d unauthorized modification or misuse, including physical damage to the Matrox Product caused by the Customer or due to transportation of the product; e improper installation, abuse, misapplication or negligence; f failure to follow instructions relating to Matrox Product's use; g operation outside the Matrox Product's environmental specifications; h improper site preparation or maintenance; i software; j service performed by anyone who is not a representative of Matrox; k other causes that do not relate to a Matrox Product defect; l defects or damage suffered as a result of force majeure (including theft); m defects or damage suffered as a result of normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Matrox Product, and/or n stolen goods. The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the Matrox Product or its parts. 4 In the event of a defect in a Matrox Product during the applicable warranty period, Matrox shall at its sole option, either i) repair the defect using new or refurbished parts and return the repaired Matrox Product within a reasonable delay; or ii) replace the Matrox Product with a Matrox Product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original Matrox Product and send such replacement Matrox Product within a reasonable delay. * Matrox is Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd, Matrox Graphics Inc. or Matrox Europe Limited.

The Customer may also have other rights which vary from state to state in the United States, from province to province in Canada, and from country to country elsewhere in the world. 8 For Australian Consumers: The rights described in this warranty are in addition to the statutory rights to which You may be entitled under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and other applicable Australian consumer protection laws and regulations.

This lets you quickly and easily create H.264 files for Blu-ray Disc, the web, and mobile devices. Matrox MXO2 system requirements Matrox MXO2 products require a computer system with the following minimum configuration: • Intel Core 2 Duo 2.67 GHz or Intel Core i7 2.67 GHz CPU. ¦ Note If you want to use your MXO2 product with Telestream Wirecast, you must have an Intel Core i7 2.67 GHz CPU or greater. • Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, or Home Premium (64-bit) with Service Pack 1. • 4 GB of RAM (8 GB is recommended). • One free PCIe slot to install the Matrox PCIe host adapter (for desktops), or one free ExpressCard/34 slot to install the Matrox PCIe host ExpressCard/34 adapter (for laptops). • Storage requirements for Matrox ISO recording and Telestream Wirecast recording to disk: $ Two 7200 RPM SATA II drives in a striped RAID array. • We recommend an HDMI monitor that supports the following: $ An HDMI input resolution of 1920×1080 for previewing all HD formats. $ 1:1 pixel mapping for displaying your MXO2 output at its exact resolution, and for use with the Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility. • Adobe Premiere Pro is required if you want to use Adobe Mercury Transmit for playback on MXO2 with Adobe Prelude. Supported programs For a complete list of the third-party applications supported for using Matrox MXO2 with the current software release, see the “Supported OS and Applications” document provided in the “Downloads” section of the Matrox MXO2 Support website.

Check our website for equipment information For up-to-date information about system requirements and MXO2-compatible devices, check the Matrox MXO2 Support section of our website at www.matrox.com/video/support. ¡ Important To use Matrox MXO2 with Avid editing software, you must use an Avid-certified system as listed in the “System Recommendations” section of the Matrox MXO2 Support section of our website at www.matrox.com/video/support. Battery requirements and guidelines for MXO2 ¦ Note This section does not apply to Matrox MXO2 Rack and Matrox MXO2 Mini as they cannot be powered by a battery. As an alternative to using an AC outlet, you can use a battery to power Matrox MXO2 or MXO2 LE. To avoid damage to your MXO2 system and peripheral devices when using a battery, please observe the following requirements and guidelines. For instructions on how to connect a battery, see “Powering MXO2” on page 14 or “Powering MXO2 LE” on page 32. • Use a standard self-protected (fused) battery with a nominal voltage of 12V, 13.2V, or 14.4V. A higher-voltage battery will damage your MXO2 system. • Disconnect MXO2 from the battery when not in use. Do not leave MXO2 connected to the battery when not in use as this may damage your MXO2 system and/or battery. • Do not power your MXO2 using your vehicle’s battery via the power socket. ²Caution To avoid damage to your MXO2 system and peripheral devices, use a Matrox-recommended battery. For a list of batteries recommended for use with your MXO2, visit the Matrox MXO2 Support section of our website at www.matrox.com/video/support. About this manual This manual provides you with information about installing and using your Matrox MXO2 hardware and software. Style conventions The following style conventions are used in this manual: • The names of files, folders, and manuals appear in italics. For example: $ The data is stored in the Sample.wav file. $ The file is located in your C:\Windows\System folder. $ Please refer to your Matrox MXO2 Release Notes.

• Menus and commands that you need to choose are displayed in the form Menu > Command. For example, File > Save means click File in the menu bar, then click Save in the menu that appears. • The names of keys are displayed in small capital bold letters, such as the CTRL key. • A plus (+) sign is used to indicate combinations of keys and/or mouse operations. For example: $ CTRL+C means to hold down the CTRL key while pressing the C key. $ SHIFT+click means to hold down the SHIFT key while you click an item with the mouse. How video formats are expressed With the exception of NTSC and PAL, all SD and HD video formats are expressed in the Matrox MXO2 documentation as follows: VRp or i or PsF @ n fps Where: • VR is the vertical resolution. For 1440×1080 video, however, both the horizontal and vertical resolutions are specified. • p or i or PsF represents progressive, interlaced, or progressive segmented frame video. • n fps is the frame rate in frames per second. Here are some examples: • 486p @ 23.98 fps Represents 720×486 progressive video at 23.98 frames per second. • 720p @ 59.94 fps Represents 1280×720 progressive video at 59.94 frames per second. • 1440x1080i @ 29.97 fps Represents 1440×1080 interlaced video at 29.97 frames per second. This format is used for HDV 1080i material. • 1080i @ 29.97 fps Represents full-size 1920×1080 interlaced video at 29.97 frames per second. Last-minute information Any important information that wasn’t available for inclusion in this manual by publication time is provided to you in the Matrox MXO2 Release Notes.

Hardware and Software This chapter explains how to install the Matrox MXO2 hardware and software.

Installing multiple Matrox MXO2 devices You can choose to install multiple Matrox MXO2 devices to feed live video and audio to Telestream Wirecast for streaming and recording (see Chapter 17, “Using Matrox MXO2 with Telestream Wirecast”). All other applications used with your Matrox MXO2 hardware, such as Matrox A/V Tools and editing applications, support only one Matrox I/O device. If you have multiple Matrox I/O devices, you can use Matrox X.info to select the primary device that you want to use with these applications as explained in “Selecting your primary Matrox I/O device” on page 283. Before you install your Matrox MXO2 hardware Read the following information carefully before attempting to install Matrox MXO2 hardware. Start with a functioning system Before attempting any Matrox MXO2 installation, you should have a computer with a supported Windows operating system fully installed and functioning smoothly. This will avoid potential problems later on. Avoid costly damage Static electricity from your body can damage your Matrox PCIe host adapter or your computer. Although you may not notice it, static electricity is generated every time you move. It’s often too small to cause a spark, but it can still cause damage to sensitive electronic components or at least reduce their life span. To avoid damage, please observe the following precautions: • Do not remove your Matrox PCIe host adapter from its antistatic bag until you’re ready to install it. Before removing the card, place the package within easy reach of the area where you intend to perform the installation. • You should avoid touching the chips and other components on the circuit board. Try to handle the card by its edges. • Try to work in an area where the relative humidity is at least 50%. • Do not wear wool or synthetic clothing. These fabrics tend to generate more static electricity than cotton, which is best for this kind of work. • Turn off the power switches on your computer and its connected components. Once you’ve opened your computer, drain static electricity from your body by touching a bare metal surface on your computer chassis before you install or remove any parts of your system. If you have a grounding wrist strap, use it while handling and installing any components in your computer.

This utility provides a wizard that walks you through the calibration process using specially designed patterns to effectively identify and compensate for the processing errors that may be present in your HDMI monitor. The Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility calibrates your monitor’s black and white levels, white point, gamma response, and hue and chroma. This utility is optimized for calibrating HDMI LCD/LED monitors or televisions that support 1:1 pixel mapping, which allows you to view the output on your HDMI monitor at its exact resolution without any scaling. Although instructions are provided for calibrating plasma HDMI monitors, and HDMI monitors that do not support 1:1 pixel mapping, a blue-only filter will be required for the color calibration (hue and chroma). Some HDMI monitors feature a built-in blue-only mode that you can use for color calibration. If your HDMI monitor does not have a built-in blue-only mode, you can use a proper third-party blue-only filter (for example, a blue gel filter, or blue-only calibration glasses) that completely blocks out all colors except for blue. Because some blue-only filters do not block out colors effectively, the Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility includes a blue-only filter test that you can use to determine if your blue-only filter is adequate for color calibration. ¦ Note To ensure that the Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility displays correctly, your computer screen’s resolution must be 1280×800 or higher, and the Windows DPI scaling option for text must be set to the default size. For details on how to change your screen resolution and DPI scaling setting for text, see your Windows documentation. Calibrating your HDMI monitor The Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility provides on-screen instructions to calibrate your HDMI monitor. At the end of the calibration process, you must save your calibration settings to a file. Once saved, the calibration settings are automatically loaded as your system’s current calibration settings. If you’re calibrating more than one HDMI monitor, you can calibrate and save settings for each monitor and load the corresponding settings at any time (see “Loading Matrox HDMI calibration settings” on page 50). You can later choose to enable or disable the loaded calibration settings (see “Enabling and disabling the Matrox HDMI calibration settings” on page 50). The Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility uses the Matrox WYSIWYG Control Panel to display the specially designed patterns that are required to calibrate your HDMI monitor. Therefore, you’ll need to configure your Matrox WYSIWYG output settings as explained in this section. For more information about using the

Matrox WYSIWYG Control Panel, see “Configuring the Matrox WYSIWYG Control Panel” on page 204. ¡ Important When running the Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility, make sure that you don’t run any other application that uses your Matrox MXO2 hardware, such as Matrox A/V Tools, or another application that displays Matrox WYSIWYG output. °To run the Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility: 1 Ensure that your HDMI monitor is connected to the HDMI output on your MXO2, turn the HDMI monitor on, and allow it to warm up for about 20 or 30 minutes. 2 Right-click the icon on your Windows taskbar and configure your Matrox WYSIWYG output settings as follows: $ Enable WYSIWYG Output must be selected. $ Choose Output Configuration and on the Video Output page, set the HDMI output to RGB - calibrated. This is required in order to run the Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility and output the adjusted RGB HDMI video to your HDMI monitor. $ All other required Matrox WYSIWYG output settings will be automatically set by the HDMI Calibration Utility. 3 Click OK to save your video output settings. 4 Right-click the icon on your Windows taskbar, and choose Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility. 5 Follow the onscreen instructions to calibrate your HDMI monitor. 6 When prompted at the end of the calibration process, save your calibration settings to a file anywhere on your system. Once saved, your settings are automatically loaded as your system’s current HDMI calibration settings. You can later choose to enable or disable the loaded calibration settings (see “Enabling and disabling the Matrox HDMI calibration settings” on page 50). ¦ Note The calibration settings file is saved as an .mtx file. If you cancel the HDMI calibration, or close the utility at any time before saving the calibration settings, the current calibration settings will be lost.

Loading Matrox HDMI calibration settings After calibrating your HDMI monitor and saving your calibration settings to a file (see “Calibrating your HDMI monitor” on page 48), the calibration settings are automatically loaded as the current HDMI calibration settings for your system. You can, however, load another HDMI calibration settings file at any time, but only one calibration settings file can be loaded for your system at any given time. Once loaded, you can enable or disable the calibration settings (see “Enabling and disabling the Matrox HDMI calibration settings” on page 50). ¦ Note If your system has multiple users, the loaded calibration settings apply to the logged on user only. 1 Right-click the icon on your Windows taskbar, choose Output Configuration and on the Video Output page, set the HDMI output to RGB - calibrated. 2 Click OK to save your video output settings. 3 Right-click the icon on your Windows taskbar, and choose Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility. 4 From the Welcome page, click Load Settings. 5 When prompted, select your desired .mtx calibration settings file, and then click Open. Enabling and disabling the Matrox HDMI calibration settings The HDMI calibration settings that are loaded for your system (see “Loading Matrox HDMI calibration settings” on page 50) can be enabled or disabled. When using a program that supports Matrox MXO2 video output, you can configure the Matrox video output settings for that program to enable or disable the loaded HDMI calibration settings. For example, you can configure the MXO2 video output settings that you want to use with Matrox A/V Tools as explained in “Specifying your video output settings” on page 178 and “Specifying your video output settings (MXO2 Mini)” on page 182. When you set the HDMI video output to RGB - calibrated, the video that is output from the MXO2 HDMI output will have the color settings that are saved in the currently loaded calibration file. This is used when you want to monitor video on your RGB HDMI monitor. To disable the loaded calibration settings and output HDMI video from MXO2 with its native color settings, set the HDMI video output to YUV or RGB - native, depending on the HDMI device you connected to the MXO2 HDMI output. For example, you can set the HDMI video output to RGB - native when

you want to output native RGB HDMI video to an HDMI recorder to perform an export to tape. ¦ Note When you configure your Matrox WYSIWYG output settings, the settings apply to all programs that display Matrox WYSIWYG output. This means that when you set the HDMI video output to RGB - calibrated using the Matrox WYSIWYG Control Panel, the currently loaded calibration settings will be applied when you preview HDMI video using any program that displays Matrox WYSIWYG output, such as Adobe After Effects. For more information about using the Matrox WYSIWYG Control Panel, see “Configuring the Matrox WYSIWYG Control Panel” on page 204.

Premiere Pro This chapter explains how to define various settings for using Matrox MXO2 with Adobe Premiere Pro. This includes creating a new Premiere Pro project, and specifying your playback, capture, and export settings.

¦ Note This chapter provides instructions for using Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. When an operation is different between the CC and CS6 versions, the version is displayed after the operation as (CC) or (CS6). Screen shots of the Premiere Pro dialog boxes are for the CC version only. Dialog boxes in the CS6 version may be slightly different. Running antivirus software with Adobe Premiere Pro To avoid having dropped frames or other performance issues when working with Adobe Premiere Pro, make sure that you disable any antivirus scanning of files while running Premiere Pro. If possible, schedule your antivirus scanning at a time when you’re not using Premiere Pro, such as overnight or on the weekend. Displaying warnings in Adobe Premiere Pro’s Events panel Matrox MXO2 uses Adobe Premiere Pro’s Events panel to issue certain error messages and warnings. To display these, choose Window > Events.

The New Project dialog box appears. You can leave all the settings on the General pane at the default settings. For details on changing these settings, see your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation. 2 Click the Scratch Disks tab, and use the Browse button to select an appropriate A/V drive for each scratch disk type. When specifying the location of your scratch disks, make sure you follow the recommendations in your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation. For example, store your video and audio files on a separate hard drive dedicated to your media assets. ¥ Tip Specifying the same scratch disk settings for all your projects will help shorten the amount of time it takes to open new or existing projects. 3 From the Location list, select where you want to save your project. 4 In the Name box, specify a name for your project. 5 Click OK to save your settings.

6 Choose File > New > Sequence (CC only). The New Sequence dialog box opens on the Sequence Presets page. 7 Under Available Presets, select the preset that matches the type of sequence you want to create. Matrox MXO2 supports all the available presets, including custom presets that you create. ¦ Note When you select any of the MPEG-2 I-frame, uncompressed 10-bit, or uncompressed 8-bit presets, the appropriate Matrox codec will be set for rendering your video previews. If you create a custom sequence preset using a Matrox codec editing mode, you can specify the Matrox codec that you want to render your video previews. For more information, see “Defining your video preview settings” on page 69. 8 In the Sequence Name box, specify a name for your sequence. 9 Specify any other sequence settings that you require as explained in your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation, and click OK to apply the settings. About the Matrox 10-bit editing workflow Matrox MXO2 supports a complete 10-bit editing workflow in Adobe Premiere Pro to give you the highest quality video. This means that you can capture and export clips to Matrox 10-bit uncompressed format for use in your sequence, render your video previews to Matrox 10-bit uncompressed format, and output your sequence at 10-bit on Matrox MXO2 for preview or export to tape. °To use a Matrox 10-bit editing workflow: 1 Create your sequence using one of the available presets under Uncompressed 10-bit. This automatically applies the appropriate settings for your video previews (the rendering codec is set to Matrox 10-bit uncompressed and maximum bit depth is enabled). 2 When you configure your video output settings on Matrox MXO2, set the bit depth for your video output to 10-bit (see “Specifying your video output settings” on page 56 and “Specifying your video output settings (MXO2 Mini)” on page 61). 3 Capture your clips to Matrox 10-bit uncompressed format for editing in your sequence (see “Specifying your video capture settings” on page 71). 4 If you add Matrox effects or other software effects to your sequence, you must render these sections in order to output them at 10-bit. Only 10-bit uncompressed clips without effects or with GPU-accelerated effects, and video previews that have been rendered using the Matrox 10-bit uncompressed codec can be output at 10-bit. ¦ Note You can also export your sequence to a Matrox 10-bit uncompressed .avi file as explained in “Exporting to a Matrox .avi file” on page 85.

Defining your playback settings In order to use your Matrox MXO2 hardware to output video and audio played back in Adobe Premiere Pro, you must set your video and audio devices to use the Matrox Player as follows: 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Playback. 2 From the Audio Device list, select Matrox Player. 3 Under Video Device, select Matrox Player. 4 To configure your playback settings on Matrox MXO2, click Setup beside Matrox Player under Video Device. The Matrox Playback Settings dialog box provides various settings that you can use to configure your Matrox MXO2 video and audio outputs as explained in the following sections. Remarks • The video output formats (if locked) and the audio output settings in the Matrox Playback Settings dialog box apply to your entire project. All other settings, however, are specific to your sequence. Any video output settings you specify for a particular video format will be applied the next time you create a new sequence in that same format. If you change any of the video output settings, the new settings will be applied to all previously created sequences that have that video format in your project. For example, if you create a new DV-NTSC sequence, the settings you apply for that sequence will also be applied to any previously created DV-NTSC sequences in your project. • For the best quality output when previewing a sequence that has an interlaced video format, make sure that you choose Display Both Fields in the Program Monitor menu. • You can also select Matrox Player as your video and audio devices in Adobe Prelude and Encore to use your Matrox MXO2 hardware to monitor video and audio played back in those applications. The settings provided for configuring your Matrox MXO2 video and audio outputs in Adobe Prelude and Encore are the same as for Premiere Pro, except the option to lock the video output formats is not available. Specifying your video output settings This section explains how to specify your video output settings for Matrox MXO2, MXO2 Rack, and MXO2 LE. For MXO2 Mini, see “Specifying your video output settings (MXO2 Mini)” on page 61. You can specify various settings to configure the main and secondary outputs from your MXO2 system. Some of the settings are predetermined for you based

If the frame rate is converted at the output, such as when you apply a

pulldown, you can still display the closed captions by selecting Enable overlay on output as explained below. 3 Under Video Output, select Enable overlay on output if you want to overlay the closed captions on all the MXO2 video outputs, which lets you display closed captioning on video monitors that don’t have a closed captioning feature. Remarks $ For the overlay to be displayed, closed captioning display must be enabled in the Adobe Premiere Pro Program Monitor pop-up menu (choose Closed Captioning Display > Enable). If you’re using Premiere Pro CC, you must also choose Overlay Settings > Settings, and in the displayed dialog box, select Enable overlays for Transmit. $ When using Premiere Pro CC, the closed captioning overlay is supported for playback only. The overlay will not be exported to tape. $ When Enable overlay on output is selected, the bit depth of your video output is forced to 8-bit, and you won’t be able to change the bit depth setting on the Video Output page. Therefore, if you want to output 10-bit video, you must clear this option before changing the bit depth setting for your video output. $ Selecting Enable overlay on output may cause dropped frames in your video output. If you select this option and also choose to embed the closed captioning in the video output, you should turn off the closed captioning feature for all video monitors connected to the MXO2 video outputs to avoid simultaneously displaying both the embedded and overlaid closed captions. 4 Click OK to save your settings.

Defining your video preview settings When you select an MPEG-2 I-frame, uncompressed 10-bit, or uncompressed 8-bit sequence preset, an appropriate Matrox preview file format and codec are automatically set for rendering your video previews on MXO2. When you create a custom preset using a Matrox codec editing mode, you can specify the Matrox codec that you want to use to render your video previews. To check your video preview settings, choose Sequence > Sequence Settings. Depending on your sequence’s video format, you can select a different preview file format or Matrox codec to render your video previews. For details on configuring the Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame codec settings, see “Selecting your MPEG-2 I-frame settings” on page 81. Remarks • For an SD sequence, make sure that the preview file format matches your sequence’s format (standard or widescreen). • To use the Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame codec for rendering video previews in an NTSC or 486p sequence, select the appropriate MPEG-2 I-frame preview file format, such as MPEG-2 I-frame NTSC Standard for a Matrox NTSC standard sequence. • If you set the bit depth for your video output on MXO2 to 10-bit, you must use the Matrox 10-bit uncompressed codec for rendering video previews. You must also select Maximum Bit Depth in order to output 10-bit video when the playback is paused. For more information, see “About the Matrox 10-bit editing workflow” on page 55. For details on specifying additional settings for your video previews, see your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation.

Mapping audio output for a 5.1 master track To properly output embedded HDMI audio on Matrox MXO2 for a 5.1 master track, you must map the audio output channels in your sequence as follows: • Channel 1: Left front • Channel 2: Right front • Channel 3: Low frequency effects • Channel 4: Center front • Channel 5: Left surround • Channel 6: Right surround °To specify your 5.1 surround audio output mapping: 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware (CC) or Audio Output Mapping (CS6). 2 From the Map Output for list, select Matrox Player. 3 Drag the icons for the surround sound channels into the order required for output on Matrox MXO2.

Defining your capture settings The Matrox Capture Settings dialog box provides various settings for capturing video and audio in Adobe Premiere Pro on Matrox MXO2. For information about the supported capture formats, see Appendix C, “Matrox MXO2 Supported Input and Capture Formats.” For a list of the supported video output formats for monitoring the video that you’re capturing, see “Supported video output formats for monitoring” on page 326. If you want to capture material from an RS-422 device using Matrox device control, see “Setting up Matrox device control” on page 91. For details on how to capture material in Adobe Premiere Pro, see your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation. ¦ Note When you specify your capture settings on Matrox MXO2, VU meters can be displayed to let you monitor your audio input levels. For more information, see “Monitoring audio levels for capture” on page 77. Specifying your video capture settings Matrox MXO2 lets you capture your video to an MPEG-2 I-frame or uncompressed format to create .avi files for use in your Adobe Premiere Pro projects. If you want to capture to an SD format, such as NTSC, you can choose to capture your video to an .m2v file for DVD authoring using Adobe Encore. For details about specific limitations when capturing to Matrox .m2v files, see “Notes about capturing to Matrox .m2v files” on page 80. °To specify your video capture settings: 1 Choose File (CC) or Project (CS6) > Project Settings > General. 2 From the Capture Format list, select Matrox AVI to capture to an .avi file, or Matrox M2V to capture to an .m2v file.

3 Click the Configure button, then click the Video Capture Settings tab. 4 Under Input Format, select the video format that matches your source video. For a list of the video input formats supported on the various MXO2 inputs for capturing clips, see “Supported input formats” on page 306. 5 Under Input Aspect Ratio, select the aspect ratio of your SD source video (4:3 or 16:9). For example, to capture SD video that was recorded using the standard TV screen format, select 4:3. To capture SD video that was recorded using the widescreen 16:9 format, select 16:9. If you’re capturing HD video, the Input Aspect Ratio will be set to 16:9. 6 Under Input Source, select the type of input you want to capture. For example, to capture material from your HDMI source, select HDMI. The available input sources depend on your selected input format. ¦ Note If Matrox MXO2 can’t detect your source device when you start a capture, you’ll receive an error message. Either black video will be captured or the capture won’t be able to start until a valid input signal is present. In either case, you must make sure that your source device is switched on and properly connected to MXO2 to properly capture the video. 7 Under Input Type, select the type of equipment you’re using for capture: $ Broadcast-quality Source Select this if your source device is broadcast-quality. This setting provides the best capture results for most devices. $ Consumer-quality Source Select this if you’re having problems capturing video because your source device doesn’t meet broadcast-quality standards. For example, the capture may be interrupted

when you try to capture from certain composite and S-Video devices, especially from low-quality VCRs. If this happens, selecting Consumer-quality Source will allow the video to be captured, but you may experience dropped frames during the capture. ¦ Note For any change to the input type to take effect, you must restart Premiere Pro and open your project again. 8 Select Use Automatic Gain Control (AGC) if you want the gain of your composite or S-Video input signal to be adjusted automatically to compensate for very bright or dark images. This improves the brightness or contrast of your picture. 9 Under Capture Format, select the format to which you want to capture your source video. The formats available depend on your selected input format. If required, your source video will be scaled during capture to match your capture format. For a list of the supported capture formats, see “Supported capture formats for Adobe Premiere Pro” on page 307. 10 If you’re capturing HD video to an SD format, under Capture Aspect Ratio, select 4:3 to capture video to the standard TV screen format, or 16:9 to capture to the widescreen 16:9 format. For all HD capture formats, the Capture Aspect Ratio is set to 16:9. When capturing SD video to an SD format, the Capture Aspect Ratio is set to match the Input Aspect Ratio. 11 Under Codec, select the codec that you want to use for the capture. When capturing to an .m2v file, the codec is set to Matrox MPEG-2 IBP. $ Matrox 8-bit Uncompressed Captures video to 8-bit uncompressed format. $ Matrox 10-bit Uncompressed Captures video to 10-bit uncompressed format. $ Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame Captures video to MPEG-2 intra-frame format using the 4:2:2 Profile @ Main Level at a selected data rate (SD resolution only). $ Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame HD Captures video to MPEG-2 intra-frame format using the 4:2:2 Profile @ High Level at a selected data rate (HD resolution only). 12 If you’re capturing to a Matrox MPEG-2 format, click the Configure button to configure your MPEG-2 settings. For details on the available settings, see “Selecting your MPEG-2 I-frame settings” on page 81 or “Selecting your MPEG-2 IBP settings” on page 83. Once you’ve configured your settings, click OK to return to the Matrox Capture Settings dialog box. 13 Under Aspect Ratio Conversion, specify the type of aspect ratio conversion that you want to be applied to your captured video (used when upscaling or downscaling video during capture only):

$ 16x9 Letterbox Captures the widescreen 16:9 picture as letterbox video by adding black bars at the top and bottom of the picture for display on a standard 4:3 television screen. $ 4x3 Pillarbox Captures the standard 4:3 picture as pillarbox video by adding black bars at the left and right sides of the picture for display on a widescreen 16:9 television screen. $ Center Cut Captures the widescreen 16:9 picture by evenly cropping the left and right sides of the picture for display on a standard 4:3 television screen. $ Center Zoom Captures the standard 4:3 picture by evenly cropping the top and bottom edges of the picture for display on a widescreen 16:9 television screen. ¦ Note When capturing to an SD 16:9 format, such as NTSC 16:9, the video will be captured as horizontally compressed 4:3 (anamorphic) video. To display the video with the correct proportions on an NTSC or PAL monitor, select the 16:9 display setting on the monitor. 14 Click OK to save your settings. Specifying your audio capture settings You can specify various audio capture settings, such as to specify your input source and the type of audio files (either stereo .wav or mono .wav) that you want to create when capturing audio on Matrox MXO2. Remarks • When you capture to an .avi file on Matrox MXO2, the clip’s video and audio are saved to the .avi file, and the clip’s audio is also saved to one or more separate .wav files. You could choose to edit the separate .wav files using an audio post-processing application. • When you capture to an .m2v file on Matrox MXO2, the clip’s associated audio is always saved to one or more separate .wav files. °To specify your audio capture settings: 1 Choose File (CC) or Project (CS6) > Project Settings > General. 2 From the Capture Format list, select Matrox AVI to capture to an .avi file, or Matrox M2V to capture to an .m2v file.
