Chapter 11, Using Matrox MXO2 with Avid Editing Applications

Defining your capture settings

The

Matrox Capture Settings

dialog box provides settings that allow you to

capture material from any of your MXO2 system’s video and audio inputs. The
settings available are based on your project’s video format and your input source
(video is always captured to your project’s video format). For information about
the supported capture formats, see

Appendix C, “Matrox MXO2 Supported Input

and Capture Formats

.” For a list of the supported video output formats for

monitoring the video that you’re capturing, see

“Supported video output formats

for monitoring”

on page

324

.

To capture video and audio on Matrox MXO2, make sure that your video input
and audio input sources in the

Capture

tool are set to

Matrox

. For details on

how to capture material using your Avid editing application, see your Avid
documentation.

If you want to capture material using RS-422 device control, you can connect the
RS-422 connector on Matrox MXO2, MXO2 Rack, or MXO2 LE to the RS-422
serial device control port on your source device (see

“MXO2 RS-422 serial

connection”

on page

18

,

“MXO2 Rack RS-422 serial connection”

on page

27

, or

“MXO2 LE RS-422 serial connection”

on page

36

). On Matrox MXO2 Mini,

you must use a suitable adapter to connect the serial device control port on your
source device or recorder to your computer. For a list of supported device control
adapters, see the Matrox MXO2 Support section of our website at

www.matrox.com/video/support

. When configuring your deck for RS-422 device

control, the RS-422 connector on your MXO2 hardware is usually identified as
the COM3 port. For more information on using RS-422 device control, see

“Requirements for using RS-422 device control”
