Capturing HDV and SD material on Matrox
RT.X2 SD
On Matrox RT.X2 SD you can take advantage of the superior image quality
offered by your HDV camera by capturing native HDV 1080i/p material over the
1394 interface in an SD project. To do this, you use Adobe Premiere Pro’s HDV
capture feature as explained in
“Capturing HDV material on Matrox RT.X2 SD”
on page 35 .
When working in your SD project you can also capture native DV clips over the
1394 interface, and capture SD clips using Matrox RT.X2 SD’s analog
component, S-Video, and composite inputs. The SD and HDV clips can be mixed
in real time in the same SD project. Your HDV clips will be downscaled to SD
when you scale the clips to your project’s frame size for realtime playback as
explained in
“Mixing SD and HD clips in a project” on page 20 . When your edits
are complete, you can export your project to tape as SD video for broadcast.
This workflow scenario is represented in the following diagram:
