new Matrox RT.X2, for real-time editing of HD (1)
Matrox, based in Montreal’s West Island, was known in the 90′s for their Millenium graphics cards, and are now serving niche markets for entreprise, industrial, military and governments applications. They are also known by professional videographers for their X2 graphic cards, which allow real-time editing of videos.
Now, they have launched yesterday a new version of the Matrox RT.X2, which now handles Panasonic 720p format, Sony HDV 1080p support, and Canon 24p, along with other new neat features and special effects. And more importantly, it now works with Adobe CS3 ie Adobe Premiere. Of course, the price tag cares for professionals only (starting from $1500), and it only works with Windows XP Pro boxes with a PCI express slot. But videographers spend already 10 times that amount for their material, so this should be a hit for those who want to save a couple of hours in their workflow.
