Sony XDCAM EX support (does not apply to RT.X2 SD)
Matrox RT.X2 and RT.X2 LE provide realtime native editing of the .mp4 files that are written by the XDCAM camcorder in Adobe
Premiere Pro. You can also use these files directly in Adobe After Effects. There are no time-consuming file format conversions
and no need to waste disk space managing multiple versions of files. The XDCAM EX HQ-mode (1080i/p and 720p) and 1080i/p
SP-mode (1440x1080) are both supported. Over and under cranked files created by the XDCAM EX camcorder’s “Slow and
Quick Motion Function” variable frame rate mode can be played back in real time without rendering.
Realtime downscaling of HD timelines to analog SD (does not apply to RT.X2 SD)
Matrox RT.X2 also downscales HD projects to broadcast-quality NTSC and PAL with proper conversion of the HD color space
to the SD color space. You can print your HD edit to analog SD tape in real time and or use this feature to preview your HD
projects on an inexpensive SD monitor.
Capture in HD, edit in SD for maximum realtime performance
If your goal is to deliver in SD, yet you want to take advantage of the superior image quality offered by your HDV camera,
another way to work with HDV material on your RT.X2 platform is to capture HDV over 1394 then edit in SD using the original
HDV clips. You maintain the quality of your original footage, yet benefit from maximum realtime performance during the editing
process, similar to what you will experience when editing in native DV. When your edits are complete, you can output straight to
SD. When you view the SD master you will see no significant difference in quality compared to a project that is edited in native
HDV then downscaled to SD.
On RT.X2 or RT.X2 LE, if you need an HD master, you can open the same SD project in an HD timeline. No recapturing is necessary.
Realtime native DV editing workflow
All the RT.X2 cards provide amazing realtime editing performance in DV. On a reasonably performing system, you can expect to
edit at least five native DV video layers plus six graphics layers and effects in real time.
Other SD clips captured from analog SD sources with the same resolution and frame rate can be mixed on your SD timeline
in real time.
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.
Realtime MPEG-2 IBP capture from analog SD and DV sources for direct DVD authoring
The Matrox RT.X2 platforms let you capture clips in realtime from analog and DV sources directly to MPEG-2 IBP (.m2v) files
for immediate use in your DVD authoring program. There is no need to capture video first, then place clips on the timeline to
finally export them into the MPEG-2 DVD format. This feature is an invaluable tool when archiving stock footage and projects
on digital servers or DVD disks.
