MXO2 Mini playback options

I'm playing around with the new mini and all is good outputting HD on a 42"sony lcd tv.
Question though, when outputting [email protected] in the view options I've got the choice of - NTSC 16:9 YUV 8-bit (720x486) or 486p 23.98 16:9 YUV 8-bit (720x486).
They both look very similar, the NTSC is a little crisper I think.
Just wondering if one is the right way or it's immaterial?
Thanks

Hey P.,
For dealing with the MXO2 Mini for best results you'll usually want to choose the format that best matches your Sequence Settings ... if you are working in a DV 480p 23.98 sequence then the Matrox MXO2 Mini - 486p 23.98 YUV 8-bit (720x486) video playback preset is the correct one to use. If you choose the NTSC preset then you are actually telling FCP to add pulldown to the output and pass it to the MXO2 as a standard 29.97 interlaced NTSC output, which may not be what you intended). As to how it all looks when viewed on your HDTV, that may be affected by your Video Output setting in the MXO2 Mini preference pane ... what settings are you using?
Cheers
Andy

  • Matrox MXO2 Mini & FCP

    I posted this in Creative Cow as well. I thought I'd see if anyone here had some ideas...
    I just got a MXO2 Mini and I have what I'm sure is a stupid question that's been asked and answered 100 times, but I can't find the answer.
    I've connected Mini to my MBP via PCI slot. Connected LCD via HDMI to the box. No video. I've gone to View > Video Playback and my options are None and Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Main. I'm spitballing here, but I think I should have some more options. I've also tried External Video > All Frames. It resets to Off.
    Any help for a self-admitted novice?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    yes you should see more options under that menu.
    There should be several options starting with MXO2 Mini reporting all the different frame size and rates.
    It looks like you haven't installed properly the software to manage your MXO2.
    The software must be installed after FCS is already installed in your system, not before.
    Also if you go under system profile and check for your CARDS, you should see a multimedia card with drivers reporting yes, when your card is recognized and the drivers are loaded.
    Hope this might help figuring out what happened to your installation.
    Regards,
    Armando.

  • Color 1.5 and Matrox MXO2 Mini

    Hey all. Just got the MXO2 Mini from Matrox which is really amazing. I use Apple, Adobe and Avid products so when Avid announced that this would be the device they will be compatible with I jumped on getting one. It works amazingly well in every product I've tested, Premiere, FCP, Compressor (for h.264 Max encodes), After Effects and so on. But I get into Apple Color and an odd thing happens, it plays the video I bring in in the little preview window on my second monitor but it old shows me a still of the frame I park on on my preview monitor. The codec is obviously working to an extent since the options for preview showed up in Color and that I saw picture when I selected it. But is the preview monitor only showing a still frame right or normal? Anyways thanks for any insight.

    I disagree with nothing you've said. I already know Davinci having piloted a few sessions (though it's not my primary work by far) and I took to it much quicker than I took to Color. Though I have no issues with the learning curve on Color either. I think they are both great with equally good and bad support for 3rd party hardware. But I do think that Davinci is a more worth while product to use if you want to compete in the color correction profession.
    The thing that bothers me about Apple's Final Cut Studio in the past 2 versions is that both stability and innovation seems to have stopped. Dvd Studio Pro has gotten no love for what 4 versions now? They push Quicktime as the core video technology behind all of their apps like FCP and Color yet when they've had ample time to modify Color's code to reflect their software compatibility needs things like the hardware issue I'm having pop up ONLY in Color. Just seems like Apple just wants to buy good apps, sell them in a bundle as inexpensive as they can to sell systems but they've lost their competitive edge with comparable NLE packages like Adobe's Production Suite CS5 or Avid MC. Not to mention they've done nothing to compete in the pro space with the advancements Avid makes every version. Not including the features coming in MC5, MC4s AMA already makes it faster to get editing than FCP was ever able to do. Plus, much like our Color VS Davnici conversation, if you learn Avid you learn software EVERY post house in the world has and uses. The workflows are standards. FCP doesn't have great workflow infrastructure and Apple doesn't seem interested in fixing that.
    Why did I just go on that rant? Well I guess it's because I have to use these tools daily and though I see so much potential in Apple Color alone, I feel issues like the one I'm having right now show a serious lack in Apple's interest in keeping their software suite competitive and stable.

  • Matrox MXO2 mini

    Hi
    I have for some time used the Matrox MXO2 mini on one of my two Premiere Pro CC PC's, and wanted to share my experience in case others was wondering how it is.
    http://www.matrox.com/video/en/products/mxo2_mini/
    My config on the PC is:
    ASUS X79 Pro board
    32 GB RAM
    GTX 570
    I use it together with the Dell 24" 2410 monitor:
    http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/43469-dell-ultrasharp-u2410- 24-ips-monitor-review.html
    This monitor is end of life now, but there is a 2412, which probably is ok too. The reason for choosing this one, was that it was recommended on "the cow", because you are able to set it up to make a correct aspect ratio of the picture.
    The hardware install is easy, you need one PCIe 1x slot for the card, and you just connect the card to the box, with a special interface cable.
    I installed the latest drivers, ver. 7.5 from the Matrox site after first boot.
    I setup the monitor and tested the aspects of the output with a circle in a photoshop file on the Premiere timeline and a ruler.
    Inside the preferences of CC, you can choose to output the audio through the Matrox box (HDMI) or through Premiere (the output of the sound card from the PC). I use the PC output and go to my mixer, and the sync is perfect.
    You can use the box together with AE and PS too, but I have not come so far yet, my main reason was to get output from Premiere.
    There is a calibration utility, quite advanced, as far as I as newbie can see.
    The output is very responsive when you switch from timeline to source monitor f.ex. and it works with the titler too, but it takes a few seconds to switch view to the tiler or back, to timeline before the monitor connected to the Matrox updates, but I think it's ok. You can start playback, and while you play back the timeline, the monitor will update after af few seconds of playback.
    Ulf

    Hi James,
    Never mind the "firmware", anytime you change versions of Premiere then MXO2 is going to need a new DRIVER installed. The most recent to support CC is 7.5.1.1966 and available here - http://www.matrox.com/video/en/support/downloads/
    What version of Premiere did you come from? Starting with CS6, there are no longer "Matrox Sequences". Simply use ANY of the existing Adobe sequence presets and they automatically play out through MXO2 (assuming correct drivers are installed of course). Matrox output settings in CC will be under Edit > Preferences > Playback
    Hope this gets you going.

  • No Multiclip Playback option in RT Playback

    Sorry to ask yet another multiclip question, but this is quick. I made a multiclip sequence, then dropped the clip into the sequence. When paused, the viewer shows all 4 videos and the canvas shows the one angle selected. But when I play the viewer, it no longer shows the four angles and instead only shows teh highlighted one full screen. I have open sync selected, BUT here's the catch, under the RT dropdown menu, I only have "Play Base Layer Only," "Use Playback Setting," and "Full Quality." I don't have a Multiclip Playback option. Now this isn't a standard multiclip sequence as I used Studio X's suggestion to make a sequence to match the clip settings. Do I need to have a standard, NTSC, HDV, DVCPRO, ect. sequence in order to view a multiclip live? I tried doing a multiclip with 4 DVCPRO HD files, but I didn't do the research ahead of time and my firewire 800 drive cannot supply nearly enough bandwidth to view all four at once.
    I hope this is clear enough and thanks,
    -Brian

    To Studio X- well there was one render file for the project, so I deleted that, but no luck. I also tried making another multicam sequence, and again while the sequence comes out the format of the clips, it still doesn't give a Multiclip Playback option, and I haven't, nor does it want me, to do a render on that sequence.
    To loyed256- I'm working off of a G-drive mini via Firewire 800 and that stutters several seconds into the DVCPRO multiclip. What I've done now is gone back to the original 640x360 files, pulled them into FCP, gotten the "these are not optimized for final cut" window, clicked OK, then made those .movs. into a 640x360 multiclip sequence. I just though about this, is it cause they're not optimized for final cut? Now I'm guessing that's the problem, so I'm gonna try to reimport them as diff formats final cut may like.
    Thanks so far,
    -Brian

  • BM Decklink Studio or Matrox MXO2 Mini?

    Hi!
    Wondering which option is better for I/O and external monitoring in Premiere CS6?
    BM Decklink Studio or Matrox MXO2 Mini?
    I need analog I/O + connect CRT and LCD monitors

    Blackmagic Design has a much wider range of products, supported I/O types and resolutions.  E.g. if you ever need 4K support, just swap the Studio card for the 4K Extreme, and you're all set.
    That said, I prefer external breakout boxes like the MXO2 series or BMD UltraStudio series, rather than the Octopus type breakout cables that come with the Studio cards.

  • MXO2 Mini and stuck viewer/canvas

    Hi. Did a search - can't find.
    Just hooked up my new MXO2 mini to a 42" Sony Bravia.
    All is great except there is no movement in the canvas on the comp when I play the timeline.
    Is that normal? If so that's fine I just want to make sure. Obviously I still need the canvas for wireframe stuff.
    My video playback setting are identical to my sequence settings. This happens whether in dv or DVCproHD 720 or 1080.
    Thanks

    What are your sequence settings. Word for word.
    What are your playback settigns...word for word.
    For DVCPRO HD 720p...no matter WHAT frame rate...you should have Playback set to Matrox MXO2 DVCPRO HD 720p 59.94. That is just the setting you choose for DVCPRO HD 720p. yes, there is 23.98, but sometimes it doesn't work.
    If things still don't work. Uninstall and reinstall the software for the MXO2.

  • Can I run a mxo2 mini and a BMD intensity pro on the same mac pro?

    Hi to everyone,
    I have a strange question to you: Can I run a Matrox MXO2 mini and a Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro on the same Mac Pro?
    That's because I find more versatile using a MXO2 with editing software (I have an AVID MC 5.5.3 and I don't want to update it to 6 yet) and I'd like to begin to use DaVinci Resolve from Blackmagic Design which, of course, functions only with their cards. My goal is to output Resolve to my FullHD CRT instrumental monitor without spending the money to upgrade AVID for now, I'm fine with 5.5.3.
    I won't use them togheter but alternatively as you can easily imagine.
    thanks
    best regards,
    ginuz

  • Output issue with Matrox MXO2 Mini

    Hi folks,
    We have just installed AE CS5 working on a new PC at work. it has an output to a PAL or HD broadcvast monitor via the Matrox MXO2 Mini.
    If there are transparent parts of the image it shows an unexpected result.
    For instance, if you have the comps BGND set to red then have a white solid with a star shaped mask on it you see a rectangular white shape on the monitor with odd black pixels around the star shape. This white rectangle is not the solid as it doesn't fill the screen. It seems to be a bounding rectangle that contains the mask.
    Perhaps it is outputting the straight RGB rather than a Premultiplied image? Or it needs to involve the alpha channel somewhere?
    Our old system of a mac CS3 and a Black Magic Card would show the comps BGND colour in the same way that AE did.
    It seems that I have to turn on a dummy solid on the bottom of the comp to see things properly.
    Could this be a setting of AE? I couldn't find anything in the MXO2' s config.
    Thanks

    Ok, it's definately outputting straight RGB rather than premultiplied.
    Where is this kind of thing set? Has anyone have any experience with other video output cards?
    Cheers

  • Inaccurate Previews with Matrox MXO2 mini

    It took me a while to get the settings right, but I was finally able to watch After Effects previews on my output monitor through my new Matrox MXO2 Mini. Unfortunately, however, they don't look the same as the preview on my computer monitor in the composition window. Yeah, I know, that's the point to look different, but it actually looks worse on the Matrox. Not just a little bad, but really bad. The colors are off, there's bad pixel aliasing, and if I use something like a 'blur' effect, the pixels all the way to the edge of the blur are full-brightness, then drop off to nothing.
    If I turn on 'Alpha Only' it looks better (actually has gradients of grey now), but loses all color information.
    Here are my system specs:
    Mac Pro 2x2.27GHz
    8GB RAM
    OSX 10.6.6
    Matrox MXO2 mini (desktop)
    fw 11.1
    sw 2.1.1.0050
    AE 10.0.1.19
    I'm working in a DVCPRO-HD 720p23.976 comp in After Effects, and using the Matrox's WYSISYG settings as follows:
    Video format: 720 p 23.98 8-bit
    Scale to fit: yes
    Alpha only: no
    my monitor is connected over the HDMI output and is 1920x1200.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    Ok, it's definately outputting straight RGB rather than premultiplied.
    Where is this kind of thing set? Has anyone have any experience with other video output cards?

  • 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

    srukweza wrote: Can you please update us on the perfomance of the Matrox Mini Max when you have got it.
    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.

  • Matrox mxo2 mini output preview question

    I'm not sure this is the correct site or section to post this, but if  someone has an answer or can divert me somewhere where I can find an  answer I'd truly appreciate it. I use PPro CS5 and I can also use an LG  27-inch Full HD monitor (the W2753V model) for preview via HDMI. I've  been considering the Matrox MXO2 mini for quite a while now but I'm  reluctant to a purchase because of a note on the I/O hardware's manual, stating that the output monitor  should have 1:1 pixel mapping in order to display at full screen  material that is lower than 1920x1200. The thing is I often work with  720p footage (1280x720 25p) and I wouldn't like to have a monitor that  displays my material at one third of its actual space, surrounded by a large portion of black. Matrox doesn't list a support email and its user forum - stupidly enough - is only for those who already have purchased a product. Anyone here with a similar experience or knowledge on the above is more than welcome to reply or point me to the correct direction.
    Thanks in advance

    The scaling is based off the current resolution for the monitor.If you set your full screen monitor to 720P resolution then Premiere will output full screen without black to that monitor. If you have the monitor set to 1080P resolution then you will have the black or scaled view. The Matrox MXO2 devices like almost all other I/O devices will tell the Monitor the native resolution that it needs to run when the device initializes based on your output settings for the device. So if you tell the MXO2 to output 720P res then it will output full screen to 720 on that monitor as long as that monitor supports that resolution which all should at this point. The process and output is the same but instead of manually setting the monitor resolution in the OS via the display panel, you are setting it via the I/O device's control panel such as the Matrox tools. The results are the same though.

  • External Monitoring with MXO2 Mini not working

    OK, I chose the Matrox 1080i60 Sequence Preset.  And then I import and use AVCINTRA P2 footage.  When I put it into the sequence...I see the clips on the timeline, but nothing in the Program monitor, nor my external monitor.  I press play...nothing happens.  The footage works fine in an AVCIntra sequence...but not a Matrox MXO2 Mini sequence preset.  Any idea why?

  • Matrox MXO2 Mini and COLOR?

    Anybody have any experience using the Matrox MXO2 Mini breakout box to monitor color grading
    The Matrox MXO2 Mini will be used with a 40" Sony LCD HDTV. My work mostly is shown though a projector to big screens, and for the web. I work in ProRes 422 (HQ) and (standard).
