 Matrox RT technology for Adobe Premiere Pro
The Matrox MXO2 platforms with MAX feature Matrox RT technology that enhances the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine to provide full-resolution, full-frame-rate, multi-layer, realtime video editing.
Matrox RT technology is designed for use with or without the presence of GPU acceleration. It provides many of the benefits of GPU acceleration but works with any system, even laptops. It optimizes your system to output to professional monitors at full-resolution and full-frame-rate.
In addition, Matrox RT provides advanced realtime Matrox Flex CPU effects such as primary and secondary color correction, smooth speed changes, and many more; along with a high-quality, highly-efficient MPEG-2 I-frame intermediate codec that streamlines working with CPU-taxing footage such as AVCHD and XDCAM.
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:
- as a full-raster capture codec when capturing from SDI or analog;
- as an intermediate editing format when working with CPU-taxing formats such as AVCHD to maximize quality as well as editability;
- as a rendering codec to ensure that “flattened” files maintain high quality when exporting or printing to tape; and
- as an effective archiving codec for material that may be used in future projects.

Realtime Matrox Flex CPU effects with Adobe Premiere Pro
The Matrox MXO2 platforms with MAX work in conjunction with the power of your CPU to perform a variety of advanced realtime effects including:
-
Realtime primary color correction
-
Realtime secondary color correction
-
Realtime chroma and luma keying
-
Realtime speed changes
-
Realtime transitions
-
Realtime move & scale
-
Realtime SD clip upscaling in an HD timeline
-
Realtime HD clip downscaling in an SD timeline
-
Native Adobe Premiere Pro effects and transitions
-
Realtime timecode
The Matrox Flex CPU effects are also available in Adobe After Effects. If you have a timeline in Premiere Pro with any of the Matrox Flex CPU effects and you copy/paste the timeline into After Effects, the Matrox effects will remain intact. This is a huge time saver, given that these effects are realtime in Premiere Pro.
Matrox Flex CPU effects are also available for use with versions of the MXO2 devices without MAX, however, the effects may not perform in real time.
