Chapter 8, Using Matrox MXO2 with Adobe Premiere Pro
Defining your capture settings
The Matrox Capture Settings dialog box has pages that you can use to specify
your settings for capturing video and audio in Adobe Premiere Pro on Matrox
MXO2. For information about the supported capture formats, see Appendix C,
“Matrox MXO2 Supported Input and Capture Formats.” For a list of the
supported video output formats for monitoring the video that you’re capturing,
see “Supported video output formats for monitoring” on page 311.
If you want to capture material from an RS-422 device using Matrox device
control, see “Setting up Matrox device control” on page 90. For details on how to
capture material in Adobe Premiere Pro, see your Adobe Premiere Pro
documentation.
¦NoteWhen you specify your capture settings on Matrox MXO2, VU meters
can be displayed to let you monitor your audio input levels. For more
information, see “Monitoring audio levels for capture” on page 76.
Specifying your video capture settings
Matrox MXO2 lets you capture your video to an MPEG-2 I-frame or
uncompressed format to create .avi files for use in your Adobe Premiere Pro
projects. If you want to capture to an SD format, such as NTSC, you can choose
to capture your video to an .m2v file for DVD authoring using Adobe Encore. For
details about specific limitations when capturing to Matrox .m2v files, see “Notes
about capturing to Matrox .m2v files” on page 79.
°To specify your video capture settings:
1 Choose Project > Project Settings > General.
2 From the Capture Format list, select Matrox AVI to capture to an .avi file,
or
Matrox M2V to capture to an .m2v file.
