Deliver H.264 files up to 5 times faster Avid's support of Matrox MXO2 Mini was the talk of NAB and IBC 2010, giving Media Composer users a very inexpensive ($449) HD monitoring solution.

 12/15/2009 1:45 PM
CreativeCOW's leader, Jerry Hofmann depends on the Matrox MXO2 to save the day when tight turn around production dilemma presented itself.

ACT ONE: THE RUSH JOB An old and favored client called me on a Wednesday afternoon asking for a production of a short instructional video, and a 30-second spot. The scary thing was that I had to deliver a broadcast spot, a broadcast 6 minute instructional insert program, and in the end, a couple of web streams all by the following Monday morning.

Review: Matrox CompressHD PCIe Card
by: 
 11/06/2009 3:47 PM
I read a press release about a new product from Matrox called CompressHD, and I had a warm and fuzzy feeling all over. I contacted Matrox and asked them if it was possible to get a review unit and they were nice enough to send it out a week later.

I’ve been using it for nearly 2 months now and it h Read More

by: 
 7/21/2009 12:24 PM
In this article, CreativeCOW's Craig Seeman takes a look the new release of Matrox CompressHD with MAX technology.
H.264 has finally become "the" codec we're likely to use for delivery. For web use Quicktime, Flash and now Silverlight use it. In addition it's part of the Blu-ray specs as well as delivery for iPods and iPhones. While having a single codec certainly simplifies delivery, encoding to H.264 is SLOOOOW. It brings the fastest computers to their knees and our brows cover with sweet Read More
