...Realtime multi-layer
workflows in HD and SD
...Designed
primarily for realtime native HDV and DV editing,
Matrox RT.X2 also provides a high-quality MPEG-2 4:2:2
I-frame
...codec so
you can capture other HD and SD formats using RT.X2's
analog inputs, and mix all types of footage on the
timeline in
...real time.
No matter what your desired workflow, Matrox RT.X2
delivers maximum productivity.
...Highest quality
realtime effects
...Matrox
RT.X2 is designed to overcome the limitations of software-only
editing by providing performance- and quality-optimized
...effects
processing. Built on Matrox Power of X and Flex technologies,
Matrox RT.X2 leverages CPU and GPU power to provide
...a tightly
integrated, high performance editing environment for
Adobe Premiere Pro. Matrox RT.X2's broadcast quality
effects are
...fully keyframeable
and feature a high level of control for detailed work.
Each effect has a series of parameters that can be
fine
...tuned to
get just the look you want. To save time you can use
the preconfigured effects presets or create and save
your own
...presets.
...Most realtime
video/graphics layers
...Many editing
systems compromise quality or effects refinement and
complexity to increase the number of layers, whereas
...Matrox
RT.X2 always delivers maximum realtime quality. Timelines
with more layers and/or effects than can be processed
in
...realtime
can still benefit from hardware-accelerated previews.
Matrox RT.X2 always plays back the timeline at the
best possible
...quality
and if necessary, gracefully reduces the frame rate.
You always get in-context feedback as you work.
...The number
of layers that can be processed in real time depends
on your system CPU and GPU as well as the characteristics
...of your
workflow - the video resolution you are working with,
the frame rate, the codec, and the number and complexity
of
...effects.
System selection guidelines and lists of computers,
motherboards, and GPUs validated for use with RT.X2
are posted
...in the
support section of the Matrox website.
...Realtime native
HDV editing workflow
...Matrox
RT.X2 provides the flexibility you need to get the
most from your HDV editing experience.
...Capture
...You can
transfer native HDV footage over 1394 to your RT.X2
system. Other HD footage with the same resolution
and frame
...rate can
be captured from analog HD sources using RT.X2's high-quality
MPEG-2 4:2:2 I-frame codec.
...Edit
...On a reasonably
performing system, you can expect to edit at least
two HD video layers with color correction plus multiple
...graphics
layers in real time.
...Native
HDV material can be mixed in real time on your HD
timeline with MPEG-2 I-frame clips. You can also place
SD clips on
...your HD
timeline and RT.X2 will upscale them in real time
so you can mix NTSC material into a 1080i at 29.97
fps timeline or
...PAL material
into a 1080i at 25 fps timeline.
...Monitor
...Matrox
RT.X2 provides full-resolution HD monitoring on an
inexpensive flat panel display via its independent
DVI output. You
...won't need
to buy expensive HD monitoring equipment or the video-to-DVI
converter required for monitoring with some I/O cards.
...In fact,
RT.X2 provides better HD video definition, with pixel-to-pixel
mapping on a flat panel (1920 x 1200), than you will
get on a
...more expensive
professional HD monitor which is typically limited
to approximately 800 lines of resolution.
...Deliver
...When your
edits are complete, you can record your project directly
to tape using RT.X2's analog component HD output or
...export
to HDV for playout over 1394.
...Matrox RT.X2
also downscales HD projects to broadcast-quality NTSC
and PAL with proper conversion of the HD color space
...to the
SD color space. You can print your HD edit to SD tape
in real time or create a DVD master. You can also
use this
...feature
to preview your HD projects on an inexpensive SD monitor.
...Capture in
HD, edit in SD for maximum realtime performance
...If your
goal is to deliver in SD, yet you want to take advantage
of the superior image quality offered by your HDV
camera,
...another
way to work with HDV material on your RT.X2 is to
capture HDV over 1394 then edit in SD using the original
HDV clips.
...You maintain
the quality of your original footage, yet benefit
from maximum realtime performance during the editing
process,
...similar
to what you will experience when editing in native
DV. When your edits are complete, you can output straight
to SD.
...When you
view the SD master you will see no significant difference
in quality compared to a project that is edited in
native HDV
...then downscaled
to SD.
...If you
need an HD or HDV master, you can open the same SD
project in an HD timeline. No recapturing is necessary.
...Realtime native
DV editing workflow
...RT.X2 provides
amazing realtime editing performance in DV. On a reasonably
performing system, you can expect to edit at
...least five
native DV video layers plus six graphics layers and
effects in real time.
...Other SD
clips captured from analog SD sources with the same
resolution and frame rate can be mixed on your SD
timeline in
...real time.
...When the
need arises, HD clips captured with RT.X2 can also
be placed on your SD timeline. RT.X2 will downscale
them so
...you can
mix 1080i at 29.97 fps material into an NTSC timeline
or 1080i at 25 fps material into a PAL timeline in
real time.
