About the Matrox 10-bit editing workflow
Matrox MXO2 supports a complete 10-bit editing workflow in Adobe Premiere
Pro to give you the highest quality video. This means that you can capture and
export clips to Matrox 10-bit uncompressed format for use in your sequence,
render your video previews to Matrox 10-bit uncompressed format, and output
your sequence at 10-bit on Matrox MXO2 for preview or export to tape.
°To use a Matrox 10-bit editing workflow:
1 Create your sequence using one of the available presets under
Uncompressed 10-bit. This automatically applies the appropriate settings
for your video previews (the rendering codec is set to Matrox 10-bit
uncompressed and maximum bit depth is enabled).
2 When you configure your video output settings on Matrox MXO2, set the bit
depth for your video output to 10-bit (see “Specifying your video output
settings” on page 56 and “Specifying your video output settings (MXO2
Mini)” on page 61).
3 Capture your clips to Matrox 10-bit uncompressed format for editing in your
sequence (see “Specifying your video capture settings” on page 70).
4 If you add Matrox effects or other software effects to your sequence, you
must render these sections in order to output them at 10-bit. Only 10-bit
uncompressed clips without effects or with GPU-accelerated effects, and
video previews that have been rendered using the Matrox 10-bit
uncompressed codec can be output at 10-bit.
¦NoteYou can also export your sequence to a Matrox 10-bit uncompressed .avi
file as explained in “Exporting to a Matrox .avi file” on page 84.
