Matrox MXO2 Family for PC Product Guide
Matrox MAX H.264 Capture
Matrox MAX H.264 Capture is a stand-alone application that lets you capture
directly to H.264 files for the web, mobile devices, and Blu-ray using any
Matrox MXO2 product equipped with Matrox MAX technology. You can
capture material from any of your MXO2 device’s video and audio inputs,
and monitor the source material that you’re capturing using the MXO2 video
and audio outputs. Matrox MAX H.264 Capture is quick and easy-to-use
with default presets for many popular delivery formats. It also gives you the
ability to create your own custom presets. You can capture to the .mp4 file
wrapper for web, iPad, and other popular H.264 deliverables or you can
capture to .264 elementary stream files for immediate Blu-ray authoring
without transcoding.
Matrox MAX H.264 Capture is ideal for delivering dailies in a fraction of the
usual time or archiving from tape and legacy equipment.
Matrox MAX H.264 Capture can also be used with any Matrox MXO2 product
along with a CompressHD card.
Quick delivery of dailies
While recording to your camera’s media format, you can also be capturing to
H.264 files. As soon as the capture is finished, you can upload your dailies to
the target device of your choice – the web, iPad, YouTube, etc.
Archiving
Matrox MAX H.264 Capture is the perfect tool for archiving all your old master
tapes to Blu-ray discs. Simply use any of your MXO2 device’s video and
audio inputs and encode directly to H.264 Blu-ray files that can be authored
in Adobe Encore without transcoding.
Complete controls for the highest quality, lowest bit rate deliveries
Matrox MAX H.264 Capture provides default presets for many popular
delivery formats such as those for the web, iPod, iPad, YouTube, and Blu-ray.
It also lets you create the perfect custom presets for your jobs based on the
following parameters:
• Resolutions: even frame sizes from 64x64 to 1920x1088
• Bit rates: from 100 Kb/s to 50 Mb/s
• Baseline or main profile, CABAC or CAVLC entropy encoding
• GOP structure controls
• 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 level support
• Frame rates: 12.5, 14.98, 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50 and 59.94
• Constant bit rate to ensure that the bit rate remains stable. Quality varies
depending on the complexity of each frame.
• Variable bit rate to squeeze out the highest quality possible at the target bit
rate. Matrox MAX analyzes each video frame and determines which frames
require more or less compression data to deliver the highest possible
quality at the targeted bit rate. You set the minimum and maximum bit rate
per job.
• Noise filtering to save bits by reducing high-frequencies in your video
• Hardware de-interlacing
