Matrox MAX Option and Matrox A/V Tools
Matrox MAX option for lightning fast H.264 encoding
The Matrox MXO2 devices are available in versions that include Matrox MAX H.264 encoding acceleration hardware.
Matrox MAX is a unique technology that speeds up H.264 encoding for resolutions ranging from iPod to HD. It uses a dedicated hardware processor to accelerate the creation of H.264 files for Blu-ray, the web, and mobile devices. By using specialized hardware acceleration, jobs are finished with amazing speed and system resources are liberated for other tasks. Quality and flexibility are ensured through direct integration with professional applications such as Adobe Media Encoder and Adobe Premiere Pro on the PC.
Matrox A/V Tools application for fast capture/playback of audio, video, and still frames
Matrox A/V Tools is a stand-alone application for fast capture and playback of your audio/video assets. It’s particularly useful when all you need to do is quickly capture video for web streaming or DVD authoring. Matrox A/V Tools lets you capture HD and SD analog, SDI or HDMI video from your camera or VTR into AVI files on your computer. You can choose to capture to the uncompressed 8- or 10-bit codecs for the highest quality or to the highly- efficient Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame codec at up to 300 Mb/s. Using the MPEG-2 I-frame codec lets you easily edit XDCAM or AVCHD footage which would otherwise be difficult to work with.
Matrox A/V Tools provides on-screen transport controls to let you navigate quickly and easily through clips on disk. You can create playlists and change the order of clips by simply dragging and dropping them. You can also grab single-frame images and save them as TGA files to create photo montages.
