When the need arises, HDV clips can also be placed on your SD timeline. The RT.X2 cards will downscale them so you can mix 1080i at 29.97 fps material into an NTSC timeline or 1080i at 25 fps material into a PAL timeline in real time. With Matrox RT.X2 and RT.X2 LE, you can also mix MPEG-2 I-frame HD material on an SD timeline in real time.
