This ensures that you will have the latest drivers downloaded. It is important that you install the MXO2 adapters before you download the software. For close to $1600.00, it should be standard that a power cord is supplied. I do think, however, that it would be a shame for someone to excitedly open their just delivered MXO2 parcel only to be disappointed that they then had to go out and get a power cord. The AC power cord is not supplied with the MXO2, and not wanting to use a power cord that may or may not be suitable, I had Matrox ship me one of theirs. 4 volts as it may cause damage to the MXO2. Should you use an external battery be sure that it does not exceed 14. The MXO2 is powered by either a standard AC outlet or, in the field, by a universal battery adapter. Strongly urged is the use of a HDMI monitor, which will support 1920x1080 for previewing all HD formats. Four gigs ram is advised when working with HD uncompressed media. It is recommended that, when using with Final Cut Studio, you have at least 2 gigs ram for use with compressed HD footage or uncompressed SD media.

What I most looked forward to was being able to see on a good 1080p monitor how my editing projects were really shaping up. After reading positive reviews of Matrox's MXO, the prospective benefits of the MXO2 was both exciting and enticing. I was looking forward to reviewing Matrox' MXO2 hardware even before it was shipped.

However, wouldn't it be great to really view our sequences in broadcast quality, to be able to correctly see the color corrections we make, the filters and motion paths we apply, and fine tune them to broadcast standards? The Matrox MXO2 device allows us to do just that either at your home or office at your editing bay, or on location off your MacBook Pro and a good field monitor. The Canvas serves its' purpose in allowing us to watch our sequences, and the ability to go to the Digital Cinema Desktop provides us with a good approximation of what our clients will view. For those of us using Apple's Final Cut Pro the Viewer is just fine for setting the in and out points of our clips.
