Little Frog in High Def by Shane Ross
Last year at NAB (2008) I was working in the Matrox Booth. The MXO2 was
announced, but not shipping. I was working in the booth at the MXO for
FCP station, showing off how to make your Apple Cinema Display into a
color correction monitor, and how the
MXO displayed interlacing as well.
Well,
other stations in the booth showed the MXO used in combination with
Avid Media Composer. Avid? How did it work with the Avid? I thought
only Avid hardware worked with Avid software. They showed me how it
worked and it was pretty slick. Impressed all the Avid editors who saw
it.
Then 6 months later I find myself working on an Avid. And
then at one point I needed to work from home. When I found myself at
home I figured, hey, why not check this thing out? I have an MXO. But
the MXO took one of the DVI ports, and I still liked working with two
monitors as workspaces. So what was I do to? I recalled that a station
at the Matrox booth across from me showed off the
TripleHead2Go Digital Edition.
What this box did was take one DVI port and spread it across two
monitors...increase the horizontal resolution from 1920 to 3840. This
way you could put two monitors on one DVI port, and then the MXO on the
other. So I ordered one.
