Capturing HDV material on Matrox RT.X2 SD
On Matrox RT.X2 SD, you can capture native HDV 1080i/p (1440×1080i/p)
material over the 1394 interface in an SD project using Adobe Premiere Pro’s
HDV capture feature. Depending on your project’s video format, you can
capture:
• HDV 1080i/p @ 29.97 fps material in an NTSC or 486p @ 29.97 fps project.
• HDV 1080i/p @ 25 fps material in a PAL or 576p @ 25 fps project.
• HDV 1080p @ 23.98 fps material in a 486p @ 23.98 fps project.
Your HDV clips will be downscaled when you scale the clips to your project’s
frame size for realtime playback as explained in “Mixing SD and HD clips in a
project” on page20.
