Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame intermediate codec with Adobe Premiere Pro

The Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame intermediate codec is a high-quality, highly- efficient 8-bit 4:2:2 video codec used mainly as a less processor-intensive way of working with long-GOP footage such as HDV, AVCHD, and XDCAM HD. The bit rate of the codec can be set between 50 and 300 Mbps, giving you the flexibly on each clip to make your own tradeoffs between video quality and storage considerations.

It can be used with Adobe Premiere Pro in four ways:

1.as a full-raster capture codec when capturing from SDI or analog;

2.as an intermediate editing format when working with CPU-taxing formats such as AVCHD to maximize quality as well as editability;

3.as a rendering codec to ensure that “flattened” files maintain high quality when exporting or printing to tape; and

4.as an effective archiving codec for material that may be used in future projects.
