Chapter 8, Using Matrox MXO2 with Adobe Premiere Pro

Specifying your video output settings for
previewing captured clips

While capturing clips on Matrox MXO2, you can preview your captured video
using the MXO2 video outputs. You can specify various video output settings for
previewing your captured video as follows:

1

Choose

File

(CC) or

Project

(CS6)

> Project Settings > General

.

2

From the

Capture Format

list, select

Matrox AVI

to capture to an

.avi

file,

or

Matrox M2V

to capture to an

.m2v

file.

3

Click the

Configure

button, then click the

Video Output

tab.

4

The settings provided are the same as explained in

“Specifying your video

output settings”

on page

56

and

“Specifying your video output settings

(MXO2 Mini)”

on page

61

. However, the main and secondary video output

settings will be set for you based on your selected capture format. For a list
of the supported video output formats for previewing your captured video,
see

“Supported video output formats for monitoring”

on page

324

.

5

Click

OK

to save your settings.

¦

Note

The video output settings that you select for capture will be applied the

next time you capture clips to the same format. For example, the video output
settings you select for clips captured to NTSC format will be retained for the next
time you capture NTSC clips. Your new video output settings will also be applied
to all sequences in your project that have that video format.

Note

This section does not apply to Matrox MXO2 Mini.

You can select the source to which you want to genlock all devices connected to
your MXO2 system during capture, as well as adjust the timing settings for all
video outputs from MXO2.

For examples of how to connect an external sync source to your system, see

“Typical Matrox MXO2 connections”

on page

19

,

“Typical Matrox MXO2 Rack

connections”

on page

28

, and

“Typical Matrox MXO2 LE connections”

on

page

37

. When using Matrox device control with an analog RS-422 device, you

need to connect an external broadcast-quality analog sync source, such as a
tri-level sync generator, as shown in the illustrations.
