VU meters on capture

VU meters on audio/video capture are a unique feature of the Matrox RT.X2 platforms. They let you see if your audio input is active and also let you monitor and adjust audio levels in order to obtain the optimal signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range.

Video preview on capture

The RT.X2 platforms let you see your DV video on your broadcast monitor while capturing. RT.X2 also supports HDV monitoring during capture.

Device control

The Matrox RT.X2 platforms support the Adobe Premiere Pro standard RS-422 and FireWire device control protocols. There is no need to purchase third-party device control software.

Realtime mixed-format multi-cam

The Matrox RT.X2 platforms support the multi-cam feature of Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and go further to let you view four cameras simultaneously in real time even if the formats are mixed, provided your RT.X2 system has the proper storage and system speed. For example, in a multi-cam sequence you could use one HDV stream and multiple DV streams and switch among them in real time.

Legacy support for RT.X100 AVI files

The Matrox RT.X2 platforms support playback of legacy RT.X100 AVI files within the editing environment, allowing you to reuse archived footage.
