MATROX MX02 mini on NTSC monitor

hi, i just bought this product and it is a bear to set up. tech support closed. i am hoping someone out there with this unit might be able to help.
i am trying to connect it to my Sony PVM broadcast monitor, which is SD. i am going RGB out on mini via monster cables to RGB component in on the NTSC monitor (which has BNC connectors, but i have RCA adapters. I am using the NTSC setup in Final Cut. Nothing on screen. Can anyone help me?

There is a large list of flavors to play out when you chose Matrox in FCP in the playback tab - in that giant list, you have to match whatever your playing to. So, in your case, set it to NTSC. It doesn't actually say "down convert".

Speedgrade with Matrox MX02 Mini

Has anyone had success getting SG to display on an external monitor via Matrox MX02 Mini? PP, AE, even PS can output to the monitor via Matrox MX02, but not SG. If I delete the PluginCache64 folder in regedit, it will show up as a display option the next time I launch, but then if I close and relaunch SG, it's no longer an option. Matrox says it should work. Adobe support says it doesn't but maybe in the next version. Anyone got a fix? I am on Windows 7 64-bit. :atest Matrox driver (installed after CC).

Second display works on my MacPro with the Matrox MXO2 mini MAX driver supporting Mavericks and Adobe CC (ver 4.1). Only got external monitor with this recent driver release using current CC versions

New Matrox MX02 mini not working

Just got a new Matrox MX02 Mini. I'v installed the PCIe card seemingly successfully - it's showing up in the system profiler under "Other Multimedia". I downloaded and installed the software package 2.0 from the Matrox site.
But when I go into Final Cut I get no option for Matrox under Video Playback. And no video or audio is playing through my Matrox (as far as I can tell).
I'm on a Mac Pro running 10.6.4 and Final Cut 6.0.6. Trying to go out from my Matrox HDMI to a Panasonic HD TV monitor and with audio going to external speakers.
Thanks for any help.

Just got my new MXO2 Mini MAX, and it won't even power up. The pci-e card does NOT show up in the System Profiler under PCI cards. I tried the card in two other slots, still not showing up as being seen by the MacPro (2009 Quad Intel). The card also did not show up when installed in our other MacPro (2007 Intel). All cable connections, including power are according to Hoyle. Should I be seeing a light come on inside the MXO2 mini box? As it is now, no light, no life.
I pre-installed the driver, and in System Prefs the Matrox MXO2 mini icon reports: "..video hardware not found." The Product Name, S/N, and Firmware Version are all blank lines. Software version is 2.0.0.
Thanks,

Matrox MX02 Mini and FCP 7...

We have been using the MX02 Mini essentially for HD monitoring and have run across a few issues that have hindered productivity. It appears that one or two of these issues have been fixed in the latest 2.2.1 software release. The following remain. Has anyone experienced the same?
1) Audio scrubbing... audio cannot be heard on a per frame basis, usually audio is heard every three
frames or so.
Apparently this has not been fixed.
2) Audio playback. In the viewer... Hit play... Playback begins but the audio drops out and then
resumes... hit stop and playback repeats the last bit of what was playing before you hit stop.
3) Audio distorts, similar to an analog overdrive sound, when hitting play every 10 times or so.
Most of the projects that we are working with are Apple Pro Res 422 @ 23.98, Audio 48khz/16 bits.
Most of our computers are as described... 2 x 2.26GHz Quad Core Mac Pro running 10.6.6 and FCP 7.0.3.
Hard drives are local external 2TB G-RAIDs with plenty of room. We have check all of our media to make sure that it matches our sequence settings.
I realize that there are Matrox advocates out there, but we seem to have a hard time getting the MX02 Minis to work reliably.
All ideas are welcome. Note that we are working with Matrox support as well.
Thanks,
Scott

1) Audio scrubbing... audio cannot be heard on a per frame basis, usually audio is heard every three frames or so. Apparently this has not been fixed.
Well, that actually is the main thing that was addressed in that update. I didn't have the issue for a while, then I upgraded to snow leopard, and there it was. But that was something with the 2.0 and first 2.1 drivers. But the latest driver that was just released, 2.1.1...fixes that. For a lot of people, me included:
http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/132/860478
http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/132/860397
As for the other issues, that are all audio related... they should have been addressed too.
Make sure to update PROPERLY. Uninstall the older drivers, then restart. Install the new drivers... and when the updates erase and then update the firmware, when the computer will shut down, and you need to unplug the MXO2 mini for at least 5 seconds, then plug it back in. Then start up the system.

I have a Power Mac G5 - How can I run Matrox MX02 mini max

I have a Power Mac G5 Running Mac OSX 10.5.8 I recently got the MX02 Mini Max by Matrox to run my Final Cut Studio application version 6.6 and Im having problems with the pci board that comes with the matrox unit ( it does not fit in the mother board) how would i be able to use this with out connecting the pci board into my mother board on my Mac.?

Can't use it with a G5.
System requirements are Mac Pro and Intel-based MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 or higher.
IF (big if) the card is PPC Mac compatible, only Late 2005 G5 machines have PCIe. All other G5s are PCI.
The Matrox card is PCIe, not PCI.

FCP 7 and Matrox MX02 mini has bad audio playback

This problem has been frustrating me for months.
I have FCP setup to output video and audio via my marox MX02 mini. The mini is hooked up to HDMI and component, and RCA audio.
When playing back on the timeline in FCP the audio stutters, echos and drops out.
I've been bugging them at the Matrox forum, and each new update that comes out claims to fix the problem, and it gets a little better, but honestly it is still nowhere near satisfactory.
It's worst when stepping 1 frame at a time or scrubbing thru footage.
Does anyone else experience this problem? Am I doing something wrong?

What drivers are you running? What footage type are you working with? Format, frame rate...
Thanks,
Shane

Matrox MXO2 Mini and HDTV monitor

hello...
i have the matrox mxo2 mini and want to invest (about $1500 or so) in a hdtv reference monitor for output and color correction.
nothing for broadcast delivery. right now i am using a sony pvm14m4u SD monitor. beautiful, sweet monitor but signal being downconverted and would like to see HD and more accurate color. would appreciate any suggestions. thanks.

I know this is an old post but...I think I'm gonna go with the Matrox mini to output my signal from FCP to HDMI...has anyone had good luck with a Sharp Aquos 32" 60Hz LED? Seems like a steal at only $269 for color correction purposes. That way I'm looking at about $700 for my color corrections set up...hoping it's doable.
Thanks!

CS4 and Matrox MX02 Mini with MAX

CS4 sucks.
Is there some kind of written rule that eac new version has be worse than the previous ?
Why does Adobe keep cutting out the tools and processes we, I, want the most !
Examples;
WHY doe Adobe STILL refuse to put back in stop motion capture ?
Why has Adobe screwed up the whole export thing and made it not only 100 times more complicated, but, also able to do 100 times LESS than it always used to in previous versions ?
BUT, my immediate question is why are my 720x480i exports to MPEG2-DVD m2v repeatedly failing - unknown error ?
- Source File: C:\DOCUME~1\steve\LOCALS~1\Temp\fleming8mmfilms-sd-3_2.prproj
- Output File: C:\Sequence 01.m2v
- Preset Used: Custom
- Video: NTSC, 720x480, 29.97 drop frame [fps], Lower, Quality 5.0
- Audio: No Summary Available

- Encoding Time: 00:00:08
18/09/2009 9:35:55 PM : Encoding Failed
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.

I didn't sin, but you did by assuming things that are not true.
1/ The project file is on the same drive as the export, BUT, the source files are on a different capture drive than the export to C.
2/ I've been using the Matrox RTX100 with previous versions of Premiere for 7 years, and the two have worked very well together all that time, and still are working very well, and, will continue to I've no doubt. - Just because you couldn't get it to work, does not mean they don't.
3/ The export I refer to did not have any connection to the Matrox box. All Premiere and Encore.
4/ I didn't mention that I had done a lot of successful export tests of various definition formats, to other formats, and including a 1 hour Full HD export, no problems.
So, - there - nyah !

SG 2014 w/Matrox MX02 Mini - audio glitch

With previous version, I could not get SG to display on my external monitor via Matrox - at all. It was not an option. Now with 2014 and the latest Matrox driver, I can output through the Matrox, but the audio is choppy. As if it has latency issues. I've tried changing the settings under "display" and "audio" but to no avail. Anyone else using this combination? If so, does it work for you? I have no issues with the same setup, same computer and PP, AE, or Avid MC.

Thanks for the reply penguin!

CS5.5...Matrox MXO2 Mini...and NVidia GTX285

OK...So I installed Adobe CS5.5 and opened Premiere and all was good. I could import footage, edit...everything. But then I wanted it to work with my Matrox MXO2 mini for external monitoring...and Matrox just released a new update that said it would enable the MXO2 line to do just that. GREAT, so I installed that. And then I took out my ATI graphics card and installed my NVidia 285 that I bought for use with RESOLVE...because the card has CUDA support with Mercury Engine and all that. And after I did that I installed the latest drivers (because there was a messageOK...done.
But now things don't work. Not fully.
First I tried getting my MXO2 to work by choosing Matrox project settings. But when I do that, I cannot see clips I load into the Preview monitor...they are black, and well, act like nothing is there. No timecode, press play, nothing happens. If I drag from the project window into the timeline, the clips appear. But won't play in the Program monitor. Can't be seen, press play, nada happens. I Match Back to a clip in the Preview monitor...I see it's timecode, but no image, and I cannot play.
Then I made a new project, and chose the settings for the footage I was using...DVCPRO HD 720p24...from P2. Again, I can import, but cannot see anything in the Preview monitor. I can drag the clips onto the timeline, and NOW I can see and hear things in the Program monitor...but still nothing in the preview monitor.
So this is really messed up and not functioning right at all. Any clues as to why?
Thanks,
Shane

I'm having a similar problem, but after quite a few hours on the phone with Matrox tech support, still no joy.
Computer specs:
Mac Pro 8 core with Radeon 4870
Matrox MXO2 Mini going to HP Dreamcolor via HDMI
OS X 10.6.8
CS Production Premium 5.5 (I completely flushed my system (Adobe cleaned) free of all CS flavors before 5.5 fresh install)
Flushed/reinstalled Matrox drivers 2.2.3.
Settings:
Matrox System prefs: Set Video output to 1080 (instead of Matrox follows Application)
Adobe PP Prefs:
Set audio hardware to Built In Line Out (not Matrox Player),
Set Video Player to Matrox Player (not Adobe Player)
Good things (temporary):
I can see Matrox Presets in PP 5.5 and create a Matrox sequence
I can create a 1080/24p Matrox sequence and drag some color bars and tone in.
Picture displays on monitor and sound works fine.
Drag in some 7D footage and can see it play off the HDMI. I tried importing some 7D footage as H264 and cut a short sequence. It seems to work until...
Really Bad things:
If I import a WAV file (or AIF or MP3) and try to set in/out points and cut it in, everything breaks:
The Preview window now does not accept new footage and shows as non-responsive black screen
The Spacebar and Play buttons cease to function, both in the timeline and the Preview/Record windows
At this point, even other types of sequences (DSLR for example) no longer function and PP is quasi-dead (menu commands still work)
Quitting/Restarting PP has no effect and all PP functionality is GONE
Rebooting the computer and starting PP resets everything and brings back functionality until.... I bring a sound file into the Preview window. PP dead again!
At this point, PP is not usable as an edit system (at least with Matrox). Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Either with Matrox or another system (AJA, BMD etc.)
I'm stumped. I wanted to see if PP could hold its own against FCP, but this is really bad....

NTSC monitor component/RGB to Imac via min-displayport

I'm trying to hook up an NTSC monitor which only has RGB and component (Y, R-Y, B-Y) ports to my 2009 iMac, which thus must use a min-display port to do so.
Does anyone know of the best way of connecting this NTSC monitor to my iMac? I had thought about...mini displayport/DVI-->DVI to component.
Although mini displayport/VGA-->VGA to component might work too.
One concern I had was that I heard the mini displayports were DVI-D opposed to DVI-I, which may or not mean a component adapter would work.
help lol.
thanks

There was a long thread on the forum with good info regarding conversion of Mini DisplayPort to composite/S-Video.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9692969
I don't think component will work for the same reasons, unless you use something like the rather complex method explained in the post by Lougle in the above thread (the one with pictures). Maybe it is different...
I thought of something the other day though. OWC has a recent USB video adapter product.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/VIDU2DVIA/
I wonder if you could put a DVI-to-component adapter (or a DVI-to-composite adapter) at the end of this USB-to-DVI adapter, and get it to work. I don't think the product description has the answer, and I was going to send an email to OWC's sales/tech support to ask. I'm only curious, since I don't need such an output myself. If you decide to ask them, please post back with their response.

Matrox MXO2 Mini and CS6 Windows?

I got a Blackmagic Intensity Pro card to monitor the Premiere CS6 timeline, which turned out to have very mediocre performance since half the times I press play the audio lags one second behind the video. So I'm going to return it and get something else, and the next logical choice by price would be the Matrox MXO2 Mini, and there's a promotion running until the end of July to get the Max model $200 off, so I have two questions for those of you who have this kit.
Does it perform as it should with CS6.0.1? Meaning, no A/V sync issues, no lockups, proper video timings sent to the TV set or broadcast monitor, etc.
And, what about the h.264 encoding quality? I keep trying to find anything on it but all I get are results that talk about its features, like it has super fast encoding, but I can't find any reviews on the actual quality of the encoding, and speed means nothing to me if quality can't be as good as encoding with x264 in at least the normal setting.
Thanks,
Sebastian

Certainly. I got it yesterday, and at least for now, I couldn't be happier. Perhaps I'm jinxing it by posting this, but hopefully it will help others without a giant budget to decide for a decent output card instead of a piece of junk like the Intensity Pro, especially since the Max version is $600 at B&H right now for a month or two.
For starters, the MXO2 Mini doesn't have any lag. Ever. The tiny lag I see now between the Premiere monitor window and my TV set is the same I saw with Edius and the HD Spark, and it's caused by the extra processing added by the TV set to the signal, which can be disabled by selecting the "game" mode, but that means lower picture quality. The TV set has a lag of about 3.5 frames, but with the BM Intensity "Pro" (I would like to know what's exactly Pro about that card), it was about one second in certain instances, where I would have to stop and resume to get the correct sync.
The BMI was even worse when scrubbing. While Premiere is pretty bad at scrubbing compared to Edius, the perfomance with the BMI was hillarious. I would go up and down the timeline and the monitor window in the GUI would get stuck sometimes, but the TV set with the signal from the BMI was like a guy in really bad shape trying to catch up to the cursor, and lagging several seconds behind. It was like "Hey dude, let me catch my breath, don't move that mouse so fast, I'm just a itty bitty card with a slow processor!" The MXO2 output signal moves along with my hand, again, with only the lag caused by the TV set.
Picture quality is great, just as good as it is from Edius using the HD Spark, or connecting the camera to the TV set directly using HDMI. The MXO2 outputs a proper interlaced signal (from interlaced footage, of course) that the TV set identifies correctly and can deinterlace for the screen. It can output progressive as well, PAL or NTSC, any size in SD or HD.
Maybe I'm calling the Gods of Jinx to punish me for this, but for me Premiere is very stable with the MXO2. I haven't had any crashes. Only a couple of times it seemed to get stuck for a few seconds and display a frozen frame, but again, this only happened twice in a day and it was as simple as switching to another sequence and back. I don't know if this was caused by a bug in Premiere or the MXO2, but I can live with it if it's just twice a day.
As for those supposed benchmarks that it's supposed to slow down hard drive I/O 300%, it's all BS. The only lack of speed I notice is typical of Premiere, since it's much slower than Edius at handling footage. With Edius, editing AVCHD footage feels almost like editing I-frame only MPEG 2 footage. It can play forward up to 3x or backwards up to 2x without dropping a single frame, with 3 way color correction and curves, scale and rotation. Premiere just can't do that. Even without any effects applied, and with my GTX570 (480 CUDA cores) and a 6 core 3.2 GHz AMD CPU with 16 GB of RAM, trying to play in reverse freezes it for more than a second before it starts playing, and it doesn't do it smoothly. This was that way back in CS5 too, without any additional monitoring card. But the disk speed is exactly the same whether the MXO2 is connected or not, or at least it feels the same, having worked on a project with a four hour timeline. And we're talking AVCHD footage, the one from professional cameras that is 21 Mbps VBR, which is much harder to decode than the one from consumer AVCHD camcorders.
And finally, the Max addition is excellent. I was weary of this type of encoding, having tried the h.264 encoding from both ATI and Nvidia cards, which delivered on the promise of speed, but the resulting footage was absolute garbage, full of pixelation and unwatchable by anyone who demands better than YouTube quality. With the MXO2 I can encode in real time, with Max. render quality selected, and the result is high quality. I did three different encodes of the same 4 minutes of foootage, one in the default 30 Mbps, then 20 and 10 Mbps. I burned that to a BD-RE in Encore and played it on a Sony BDP-S370 connected to my Samsung 46" TV set, and I didn't notice any obvious pixelation, unless I paused and went frame by frame on the 10 Mbps and a bit on the 20 Mbps sample. But overall the quality is great. I still have to do some comparisons with the x264 encoder at the slowest settings, but being able to export in the real time directly from the timeline to high quality h.264 is just amazing.
Of course this is just my experience, and I understand that some people may have had a bad experience with a particular Matrox product and now wants to do nothing with the brand, but in my short experience with the MXO2 Mini, it seems like a hell of a card. I hope it stays that way, because I really want to go back to editing in Premiere. Back in 2010 I tried Premiere CS5 with a GTX465 and the BMI, and it was a terrible experience. The real time was nice, butthe GTX465's fan would speed up like hell every time I hit play, which was very annoying. And to make it worse, the driver for BMI would crash Premiere about three times per hour of editing. So after that horrible experience, I jumped to a promotion to get Edius with the HD Spark for $200 off, and I enjoyed excellent real time and stability, but Edius lacks many creative effects that Premiere has, more so now with CS6. So I'm happy that finally Premiere offers a stable and dynamic editing experience for me.

MX02 Mini Questions (2)

First off, this is really for people who already own a Matrox MXO2 Mini or are familiar with it. I just purchased one, and am using it with FCP 6 and a consumer 32" 1080p 120Hz LCD set from Samsung (and yes, I do know that the 120Hz is the actual refresh rate of the set and not just the horrible "Auto Motion 120Hz" hype that looks awful and which I happily have turned off).
The first question I have is about the 1080p function of the Mini. I actually have the question in to Matrox (which has excellent support, btw), because right now it seems that the Mini only supports monitoring 1080psf (segmented frames). I'm not bothered by this as long as it works, but I find it odd that it doesn't do true 1080p monitoring (which it does with 720, and 486, etc.). Wondering how psf really works, and if true 1080p monitoring would be more desirable for any reason.
The second question is in regards to picture monitoring over Component vs. over HDMI. When I send HD signals over both, I notice little difference. But I see a HUGE difference with SD signals - the main one being the fact that when I park a frame on a interlaced image, monitoring over component the frame is totally motionless, and looks like a "progressive" view of both fields simultaneously (with what I refer to as an interlaced "jaggies" around the edges). When I park on the same frame in HDMI, the interlacing is the usual flicker that I notice on a CRT monitor parked on 2 fields at once. (Hopefully that explanation made sense).
Why this difference? Is it just a function of my Samsung? When I click on the "info" button on my TV while viewing these sources, over Component the TV says "720x480i" (and the parked frame looks very "still" but "jaggie"), while over HDMI it says "720x480" but no "i", (and the parked frame here looks "flickering" and full of motion)
Huh? Shouldn't this be just the opposite?
The differences don't end there, either. Over HDMI, several shots that were taken outdoors with a lot of background trees have really weird flicker on the edges of these trees and other objects. This happens both while playing, and when parked on a frame. They do not appear to be an interlacing issue, as sometimes they go away when I advance a frame at a time, and are unable to be reproduced exactly.
This flicker does not happen with the same scenes over Component. And in neither case is the motion otherwise strange.
What's going on here? Anyone have any clues? Again, could this be a problem or issue with my TV, as opposed to the Mini? And should I have perhaps invested in a better (if smaller) Video monitor if I wanted to do true color correction?
Thanks for any info!

I just got mine today and have played with it a little, including hooking it up to a couple HDTVs and playing out 720p 23.98, 1080p 23.98 and 1080i 29.97.
Wondering how psf really works
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivesegmentedframe
and if true 1080p monitoring would be more desirable for any reason.
No....it isn't. And this is one thing that people seem to demand but have no idea what it means. TRUE 24P monitoring, for either 720p or 1080p...is NOT desireable. Why? It flickers. Why does it flicker? Because as you noted, your TV is a 120Hz LCD. NTSC power is 60Hz based, so they work well. 24 doesn't go evenly into 120Hz, nor 60Hz, so it flickers. Even on high end $35,000 HD CRTs it flickers. NO ONE monitors at true 24P because of this. They send a 23.98 signal out in a 29.97 stream...adding pulldown as it goes out...so that it will play smoothly. Because 29.97...really 30fps, 60 interlaced fields, goes into 120Hz evenly. 120Hz is easily divisible by 30 and 60...if you get my meaning.
This happens with a PAL monitor if it is connected to an NTSC power source. In PAL land you can monitor 25P all day long, no flicker. Their power is all 50Hz based, and 25 goes into 50 evenly. But plug that monitor into a 60Hz power, and play 25P or 50i footage, and you get flicker.
The mini has 23.98 settings for 720p and 23.98 psf for 1080i, and that adds pulldown when it plays so that you don't get flicker. I played both types on two different HDTVs and it looked AWESOME.
No clue about why SD looks progressive while HD does the interlaced dance. I noticed that the interlaced footage I had didn't do that two-field shuffle on the HDTVs...it showed the jaggie lines I saw on my computer monitor. So to see proper interlacing you need a monitor that shows it...HDTVs aren't designed to show interlacing...they are all PROGRESSIVE monitors. I'm guessing that your Samsung was like the one I used tonight...it cannot show interlacing.
No idea what is occuring on the outdoor footage you have. I was looking at Africa safari footage and interlaced re-creations from a documentary and progressive footage of people on the street. I didn't see anything like what you described. But I was only viewing via HDMI. I'm still playing.
And I really like it. I got the MAX version, and so far rendering to H.264 has been sped up 300%.

NTSC Monitor

Can I use the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter,
Part Number: M9319G/A, and set FCP Audio/Video Settings to view the canvas on an NTSC monitor?

The digital to analog conversion that takes place in most camcorders, VTRs or converters is pretty much the same - the quality difference would be the same.
When you set FCP to view "External Video," you're seeing the output of FCP's Canvas or Viewer (depending on which is active). You will not see unrendered clips unless they'll play in RT .. if they are unrendered and playback in RT, you'll see the unrendered version. You will not see what something might look like - such as MPEG-2 encoding ... Firewire output isn't a crystal ball.
Keep in mind that FCP's Canvas window only displays a proxy of the full quality, which is another reason to be viewing on an external TV monitor.

Viewing FCP on NTSC MONITOR

In my days with PC I used to watch my timeling in Premier Pro on my NTSC monitor. I had a Matrox card with an outbox and connected the svideo out on the box to my monitor.
Now in the Mac Pro I have dual outputs on my ATI Raden card and all I get on my NTSC is a duplicate screen.
Is there no way to do this? No one at Apple is of any help with this.'
Thankds
bobby43

There are plenty of A/D converters on the market, but they have nothing to do with the DVI ports. Those will just give you a second monitor to mirror or extend your computer display.
What camera are you using? Most will convert the signal (FW to the camera, analogue out of the camera to the monitor) but there are some preferences in FCP that you have to set.
For converters, check out the line from Canopus.
