MXO

The ideal output and monitoring device for 13" and 15" MacBook Pros and iMacs

The patented Matrox MXO is a versatile output and monitoring device for the Mac. The special Matrox MXO-DVI method of using a DVI port (or Mini DisplayPort with an adapter) makes Matrox MXO the ideal companion for the latest generation of 13" and 15" MacBook Pros and iMacs. These systems are powerful enough for video editing with Final Cut Pro but lack the expandability to accommodate an I/O device without sacrificing the FireWire port you’d like to use for your storage interface.

Matrox MXO gives you the frame-accurate, broadcast-quality HD/SD analog and SDI output you need for mastering native digital projects – from XDCAM HD, P2 HD, DVCPRO HD, and HDV sources for example – directly to tape or to a satellite encoder. In addition, it turns your Apple Cinema Display or other DVI monitor into a professional HD/SD video monitor using Matrox's unique color calibration tools including blue-only.

Matrox MXO can also be switched into a genlockable scan converter with HD/SD analog and SDI output.

Video output for the latest MacBook Pros and iMacs

The latest MacBook Pros and iMacs are powerful enough for video editing with Final Cut Pro but lack the expandability to accommodate an I/O device without sacrificing the FireWire port you'd like to use for your storage interface. Matrox MXO features the special MXO-DVI method of using the DVI port (or Mini DisplayPort with an adpater) on these systems that lets you monitor and output broadcast-quality video while leaving the FireWire port free. Your FireWire port is then available to attach external hard drive video storage or to transfer video from your FireWire-based camera.
