720p workflow example
Matrox Axio supports creating 720p projects at 23.98 fps, 25 fps, 29.97 fps,
50 fps, and 59.94 fps. The compression formats that you can capture and export
depend on your project’s video format (for details, see “Supported video
compression formats” on page 280).
If you’re working with a 720p @ 23.98 fps or 25 fps project, Matrox Axio
supports capturing Panasonic VariCam material (you must select
Enable
Vari C a m c a ptu re
when you perform the capture). In this case, Axio will remove
the redundant frames from the VariCam input during capture and create a clip in
the same format as your project for editing.
You can also import supported .mxf and .mp4 files for realtime playback, such as
Panasonic P2 720p .mxf files and Sony XDCAM EX 720p .mp4 files. When
needed, Matrox Axio will convert the clips to your project’s video format by
removing the redundant frames when the .mxf files are played back on the
timeline.
Depending on your project’s video format, you can export your project to tape as
720p @ 50 fps or 59.94 fps video, or downconvert the video to NTSC or PAL.
¦NoteSDI and analog component input is not supported for 720p @ 23.98 fps,
25 fps, and 29.97 fps projects.
