Matrox MXO requires a Mac system with the following system configuration:
* Mac OS X v10.4.7 or later.
* DVD-ROM drive to install the MXO software.
* Free USB port.
* Display card with a secondary DVI-I connector. Must be able to display
1920×1200 @ 60 Hz.
Note: You must have a secondary DVI-I connector for use with Matrox MXO, and connect your primary DVI monitor to a different connector on your display card. If you are using an AGP display card, it needs to run at a speed of 4X or faster.
* DVI monitor that supports a native display resolution of 1920×1200 is recommended, such as the 23-inch Apple Cinema Display.
* 512 MB physical memory (RAM) if you're using MXO with a QuickTime-based video editing program (Apple recommends 2 GB for HD editing).

  • Adobe DV is not working for Video out in CS6!

    Adobe DV is not working for Video out in CS6!
    I verified my DV device is working fine with Premier Pro CS6.
    Anybody ever get this to work?

    Stan,
    First, the two audio/video output preferences in Encore CS4 and CS6 have different looks, as seen in the images below.
    But both are going out through DV/Firewire. Premiere Pro CS6 has the same look and settings as Encore CS6 and the Preview goes out to the monitor.
    CS4 -first image and CS6 -second image.

  • Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images?

    Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images. When the videos is drop onto the tracking object the videos corner don't appear highlighted. I am working on windows 7 with version 13.1.

    Are you within 30 days of purchase for the Premiere Elements 13? And, did you purchase as a download from Adobe? If so, you can
    apply for a return/refund for 13. If you purchased elsewhere, then you would be governed by the return/refund policy of the seller.
    Adobe no longer sells version 12, so you would have to find a vendor who still has it in stock and purchase it. There is no way to "downgrade"
    13 to 12.
    What you may want to do is to download and install the Premiere Elements 12 tryout from the following web site to verify that 12 Motion
    Tracking works for you; whereas 13 cannot with regard to use of video for the Motion Tracking source media.
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    Apparently this web site does not sell the tryout. It just makes it available for use.
    Before I posted my reply to you I looked at Motion Tracking with video source media on both Premiere Elements 12/12.1 and 13/13.1 on the same Windows 7 64 bit computer.
    If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • 'Best for video' greyed out in displays prefs

    I finally got my macbook(blackbook running 10.5.8) hooked up to my lcd tv (i have been using my old eMac for this a while) & I'm fooling around with the settings to optimize performance & for some reason the 'Best for video' is greyed out in System prefs/Displays but the overscan function works(both in extended desktop mode & in video mirroring mode. I have always used this function on my eMac (OS X 10.3.9) without any problems. For now I'm using the apple mini dvi to video with an Svideo cable until i can afford to go either the hdmi or vga route, but I'd like to optimize this at least..anybody have a clue why 'Best for video' would be greyed out & how to fix this? could this be because of the Intel GMA 950 Gpu chipset in this generation of macbooks? I have posted to a few forums in the last few days with no answers so far...Anybody?

    I wouldn't worry too much about that setting. I believe all it ever did was set up a difference between blanking and black level, sometimes called "pedestal" in TV/video terminology. It's no big deal. You are probably correct that the GMA950 doesn't support it, so it's grayed out.

  • Apples update didn't work for me: Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7

    Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7 - Apple Support
    I have followed each of the steps listed in the link above with no success.
    Prior to adding the extra drivers I was able to start the Windows install process up to reformatting the "Windows" Bootcamp drive. After that the computer would go through some instal processes and eventually restart. After the restart the screen would go black. The black screen lead me to the  Apple Support link above dated March 5 2015. After going through steps listed in the link above, I get an error message stating that the D:\Sources\instal.win. file cannot be located. I am forced to restart the computer at that point and theWindows install process attempts to start again but always ends up at the same point.
    Note: I am installing windows 7 Pro from a DVD. I scanned the AutoUnattend.xml file and noticed that it refers to "Windows 7 ULTIMATE" but not "Pro" or any others that I could see. (see below). Could that be part of the issue?
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
    </unattend>
    iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
    2.66 GHz Intel Core i5
    16 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB

    Here is an over-simplified explanation of WIM and CLG files. Assume your DVD Media contains
    W7- Ultimate
    W7- Professional
    W7- Home Premium
    W7- Home Basic
    WIM Files

    The File .wim will contains a compressed image which contains File [1...5].
    The W7-Ultimate .clg will have 5 entries, with all set to 'Y'.
    The W7-Professional .clg will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','Y','Y'.
    The W7-Home Premium  .clg will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','N','Y'.
    The W7-Home Basic .clg file will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','N','N'.
    This allows a single .wim Image file on the DVD media to be used to install any of the 5 flavors of Windows. When you enter your product key, the Installer knows what specific W7 variant you have the key for and will tell the WIM to extract the specific files the installer needs to be extracted.
    The following line
    <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
    is telling that a retail product key will be entered, which should go look for this specific .clg file (from the five you already have on disk).  You can test if it will work for you by changing this line to the following
    <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
    If it does not work, the other issue can be related to device discovery. Typically A: and B: device names are reserved for Floppy Drives. C: is your internal HDD.
    D: can either point to the Optical drive, or the USB. The normal convention is that the removable media is named from Z: backwards. Y: and Z: are usually used for Network drives, so X: should be your USB. First try with the change to "Professional". If it does not work,

  • Red record button and play arrow not working for videos. Any way to make work again?

    Red record button and play arrow quit working. Any way to fix?

    Try this and see if it works for you. Close the Camera App in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
    Tap the home button once, then double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the camera app.  Tap the home button again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Will this setup work for Color Calibration / Matrox / Enzio Monitor

    Hi, I'm getting conflicting answers from Matrox forum and DVinfo.
    I'm wondering if this setup will work for editing wedding films as well as doing color correction...
    I'm using FCP 7 / FCS 3. I have a DVI input as well as a DisplayPort input on my Mac Tower which is about year old.
    Monitor: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/687611-REG/Eizo_CG223W_BK_ColorEdge_CG223W _22_Widescreen.html
    Converter/Capture Card: (This is where I'm confused.) I'd also like to keep it under $800 if possible and be compatible with FCP X
    http://www.sharbor.com/products/MTXN5010167.html
    Can I also use a displayport to HDMI to connect my Mac tower to the Matrox as well as a HDMI to DisplayPort to connect the Matrox to the monitor or will this ruin or downgrade the signal?
    Or is there another card that I could use that is simple to install?
    Thanks for you help!

    >Can I also use a displayport to HDMI to connect my Mac tower to the Matrox as well as a HDMI to DisplayPort to connect the Matrox to the monitor or will this ruin or downgrade the signal?
    No.  The Matrox MXO2 line connects one of three ways: PCIe slot in MacPro, Express34 for MacBook Pro, and Thunderbolt (additional cost for the adapter).  If you have a MacPro..you put the MXO2 adapter card into one of the PCIe slots, then connect that to the MXO2 box.

  • Will iPSP work for video conversion?

    I'm sure this was covered before, however I'm getting tired and can't find it....
    Will iPSP work for converting video to an iPod "friendly" format that will sync and play on the iPod?
    If so, what settings do I need, etc.
    Thanks.

    Indeed possible; if you are using AIR 2.5 for android. Have a look at one such example here: http://www.flashmobileblog.com/2010/07/17/p2p-video-calls-on-android/

  • Airplay mirroring no longer working for videos played in iTunes

    After the latest software update for iTunes on my Macbook Pro, Airplay mirroring stopped working with my Apple TV from iTunes.  I can still mirror anything on my Macbook display, except it won't mirror any video that I play with iTunes. All of my software is up to date. I've followed all the guidelines of ensuring that everything is connected to the same network, rebooting, etc. Is there a glitch in the latest iTunes software update?

    Here is the compatibility table
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    You may want to also try converting using the Apple TV preset in Handbrake to see if that helps

  • Compilations No Longer Work For Videos

    Hi,
    Pre iTunes 12, it was possible to group videos together by checking the 'part of of a compilation'.
    So, for example, you had the Harry Potter films, instead of having separate films, you could use the compilation option and assign each film a disc number so when clicking on the video cover, it would expand to show each disc showing the individual films.
    In iTunes 12 this option no longer works and will only display each film as a separate video.
    Bizarrely, if you change one of the films from Movie to Music Video, keeping the remaining films as Movie, the compilation option seems to work.
    Has anyone found another way of doing this ?
    Thanks in advance

  • BFG 8800GTX NOT working for me in my mac pro.

    Well Da**it guys. I can NOT get the BFG 8800GTX to work in my mac pro.
    The machine will boot but you do not hear the apple chime.
    After that it just sits there and makes the cd rom drive click and the hard drives click and spinup as well.
    It is NOT a power problem. I even tried an external 550 watt PS and that will not work either.
    I even tried the other pcie slots and its a no go...well not sure what to do now. Sigh

    Are you trying to get this card to run on your Mac Pro with Bootcamp, or OS X? A PC video card will NOT work under OS X as they are not compatible with the Mac's EFI firmware.
    There have been people who have gotten PC video cards to work under Bootcamp, but I believe you still need to have a Mac compatible video card installed, just to get the machine to boot.
    If you're trying to get this thing to work with Bootcamp, you may want to post in the Bootcamp forum.

  • Wiki's Media Embed not working for videos

    I've tried many different Compressor presets for H.264 video and nothing seems to work. When browsing the wiki locally, a video I upload via "Embed Media"  works fine. But, that's running local off our Xsan so of course it's fast. When looking at our wiki remotely, after clicking the Play button, the video doesn't even appear. It's just white, no QT player control, nothing. The video files aren't outrageously large, 100-200MB for an hour of video. I've tried making it Hinted Streaming, Fast Start, tons of different things. Even when I do a tiny test video under 1MB the same thing happens so it's not the video size.
    I've tried searching for a very long time online and couldn't find any recourses pointing me in the right direction.
    Is there specific encoding guidelines or service that needs to be turned on? Thanks.

    EDIT: Ignore me. I think I'm figuring it out.
