trust, even for color grading. It's packed with features that make it
the ideal monitoring solution for Final Cut Pro, Apple Color, Adobe

buy expensive HD monitoring equipment. In addition, MXO2's realtime
downscaling feature lets you view your HD projects on an SD monitor.

MXO2 lets you adjust and control your HDMI monitor exactly like you
would a broadcast HD/SD monitor. Controls for hue, chroma, contrast,
brightness, and blue-only are provided. This unique control gives you
completely accurate color representation so that you can use your HDMI
monitor even for color grading.
Pixel-to-pixel mapping on the HDMI display
Matrox
MXO2 provides 1:1 pixel mapping on HDMI monitors that support this
feature. You get accurate monitoring on your HDMI display in the
following resolutions:
- 720 x 486 (NTSC)
- 720 x 576 (PAL)
- 1920 x 1080
- 1280 x 720
Audio monitoring
Matrox MXO2 provides built-in 5.1 surround sound monitoring via RCA
and HDMI so you don't need to invest in additional equipment as you do
with some other I/O products. Matrox MXO2 also gives you the flexibility
to map any audio track in Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro to any
audio output.
Realtime hardware up/down/cross conversion
Matrox MXO2 lets you deliver in any format your clients demand. The 10-bit hardware scaling provides high-quality mastering.
HD to SD downscaling
Matrox
MXO2 provides realtime HD to SD downscaling so that you can monitor or
record an SD master of your HD project in real time.
*Please note it will not output hd and analog together except in playback
Proper conversion of the HD color space to the SD color space and

SD to HD upscaling
Matrox MXO2 provides realtime SD to HD upscaling with proper conversion of the SD color space to the HD color space.
Cross conversion
Matrox
MXO2 offers realtime cross conversions from 720 to 1080 and 1080 to
720. Realtime frame rate conversion is also supported with the following
cadences - 2:3:2:3, 2:3:3:2, and 2:2:2:4. This feature is useful if,
for example, your source material is recorded at a different frame rate
or resolution than the delivery format your client requires. It also
facilitates monitoring when, for example, you need to work with 23.98
fps footage but your monitor does not support that frame rate. You can
use MXO2's realtime frame rate conversion to view your project at 29.97
fps.
Hardware acceleration of Final Cut Pro Dynamic RT segments to original frame size
In
Dynamic RT editing mode, Final Cut Pro automatically reduces frame size
to let you preview non-realtime segments of your project at a better
frame rate. With the MXO2 hardware upscaler, these segments are
accelerated to their original frame size saving processing power for
other Final Cut Pro operations, so you get better realtime performance.
