Deliver anywhere Matrox RT.X10 HW lets you quickly and easily deliver your videos on tape. It also includes Matrox MediaExport for hardware-accelerated simultaneous batch encoding of DVD, SVCD, VCD and web formats with multiple resolutions, bit rates, and frame rates.. Ligos GoMotion technology, incorporated into the Matrox MediaExport plug-in for Matrox RT.X10 HW, lets you perform high-quality MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 compression. MPEG-1 is ideal for VCD and CD projects since it allows you to put up to one hour of video on a CD and can be exported from Adobe Premiere Pro at faster-than-realtime speeds. MPEG-2 is used for SVCD and DVD creation. What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) video output support for DirectShow-based applications also lets you use RT.X10 HW to watch video files, such as MPEG, DivX and AVI, on your TV using Windows Media Player and record them to tape at the same time. Note that WMV files are not compatible. Deliver on tape RT.X10 HW lets you record your finished productions to analog or DV tape. Analog tape You can record your program to VHS or S-VHS tape in real time, without rendering, using the composite or Y/C output from the RT.X10 breakout cable. DV tape You can record your program over the 1394 connection to DV and DVCAM devices. Matrox RT.X10 HW will output to DV tape directly from the Adobe Premiere Pro timeline, in real time, when the timeline consists of straight cuts. If you have effects on your timeline, those parts of your project must be rendered and compressed back to DV. On RT.X10 HW this happens in near real time thanks to Matrox TurboDV, and you'll only have to do it once, at the very end of your production. Matrox TurboDV is a scalable software-based DV export engine that takes advantage of the power of your computer – the faster your CPU, the faster the export. Deliver on Video CD (VCD), and Super Video CD (SVCD) Instead of recording your video to tape, use the CD burner in your computer to create a VCD or SVCD. Then just pop it into the DVD player in your living room, sit back, and enjoy. VCDs and SVCDs will play in most set-top DVD players. They look just as good as VHS tapes, take less storage space, and cost only a few cents each. To put your video on a VCD or SVCD, all you need to do is encode it, then burn it on a standard CD. Matrox MediaExport lets you export projects directly from the Premiere Pro Timeline into MPEG-1 files for VCD and MPEG-2 files for SVCD. You can work with a wide selection of convenient presets, or customize advanced settings for fine control over advanced options. Most CD burners come with software that will allow you to not only copy CDs and make data or audio CDs, but also create VCDs and SVCDs. You just drag and drop your encoded file and start the recording process. It's that simple! Deliver on DVD DVDs deliver full-screen, full-motion video, crystal-clear digital sound, crisp color graphics, and a rich interactive experience for the viewer. Now, with low cost DVD burners on the market, DVD production is more accessible to everyone. RT.X10 HW greatly simplifies the DVD creation process by integrating audio and video acquisition, realtime editing, graphics creation, MPEG-2 encoding, DVD authoring, and pre-mastering in a single, affordable system. You create your DVD video and audio by exporting your project directly from the Adobe Premiere Pro timeline into DVD-compliant MPEG-2 using Matrox MediaExport. Your MPEG-2 video and audio files can then be used in the Adobe Encorer DVD authoring package, where you will create menus to provide navigation and include audio and graphic ele-ments for a complete DVD. When you are ready to test your DVD, you can build it into a DVD Volume (files on your hard-disk). Once you're satisfied with your project, you can burn it directly to a DVD-R. Deliver to the web As more and more people have access to high-speed internet connections, web streaming is becoming an interesting new way to deliver your video to a vast new audience, as well as your family and friends. Once you've finished editing your video project, the next step in getting it onto the web is to convert it to a web video format. Matrox MediaExport lets you simultaneously export Windows Media and RealMedia files with multiple resolutions, bit rates, and frame rates optimized for use with any internet connection speed — high-bandwidth or dial-up. The final step in getting your project to the web is to transfer it to either a web server or a streaming video server for viewing. free web video hosting Use the web to share your video productions with family and friends or the general public. www.matrox.tv is a free video hosting site available to all registered Matrox video products users.
