From the Capture Format list, select Matrox AVI and click Configure.

(Ref# 50243)

• When you export an NTSC or PAL clip using the Matrox DV/DVCAM

codec, your exported clip may appear darker than the original clip. As a

workaround, use Adobe Premiere Pro’s DV NTSC or DV PAL codec to

export your NTSC or PAL clips to DV format. (Ref# 50460)

Adobe Media Encoder

¦NoteIf you’re using Adobe Media Encoder for Matrox MAX H.264 encoding,

see also “Matrox MAX H.264 encoding (MAX option)” on page 9.

• When you export a PAL sequence that has a Matrox codec editing mode in

Adobe Premiere Pro to MPEG2-2 DVD format using Adobe Media Encoder,

set the

Field Order to Upper under Basic Video Settings in the Export

Settings

dialog box. Otherwise, your export may be blurry. (Ref# 51007)

Adobe Encore

¦NoteIf you’re using Adobe Encore for Matrox MAX H.264 encoding, see also

“Matrox MAX H.264 encoding (MAX option)” on page 9.

• Adobe Encore may crash when you use the application for the first time after

installing Matrox Mtx.utils. If this happens, turn off User Account Control

(UAC), then restart Adobe Encore. When you quit Adobe Encore, you can

turn UAC back on. For details on how to turn UAC on or off, see your

Windows documentation. (Ref# 54385)

• When you import Matrox 1440×1080 MPEG-2 I-frame clips into an Adobe

Encore project, the clips may be imported with an incorrect pixel aspect

ratio. To correct this, use the

Interpret Footage command to change the

pixel aspect ratio of the clips to

HD Anamorphic (1.333). (Ref# 54886)

Avid editing applications

• You may experience issues when running Avid Media Composer 6.0.3 at the

same time as another application that uses your Matrox MXO2 hardware,

such as a Matrox WYSIWYG plug-in or Matrox A/V Tools (even if you’ve

deactived your I/O hardware using the hardware toggle button). Therefore,

it’s recommended that you always quit Avid Media Composer 6.0.3 before

starting any other application that uses your MXO2 hardware. This issue is

fixed in Avid Media Composer 6.5. (Ref# VPG-1270)

• When using Avid Media Composer 6.0.3 to play back audio in a sequence on

Matrox MXO2 hardware, the meters in the

Audio Mixer tool are not in sync

with the clips on the

Timeline (the levels in the meters are a bit in advance

of the clips on the

Timeline). This issue is fixed in Avid Media Composer

6.5. (Ref# VPG-2010).
