Specifications

Known issues

• If the video input format selected for your video input source in the Matrox

Capture Settings

dialog box doesn’t match your source video, after you

select the correct input format a slight glitch will occur in the video and

audio output, but then the output will be correctly restored. (Ref#

VPG-1720)

• Disconnecting and reconnecting a video input to your Matrox MXO2

hardware causes a temporary glitch in the video output. (Ref# VPG-1783)

• In order to perform an audio-only capture using Matrox MXO2, you must

have an analog video input source selected in the

Matrox Capture Settings

dialog box, although the video input source doesn’t need to be connected.

(Ref# VPG-1794)

Matrox A/V Tools

• If you are running multiple instances of Matrox A/V Tools, the video output

settings specified in the

active A/V Tools session will also be used for all

other instances of A/V Tools that you are running. (Ref# 50865)

Matrox Video for Windows (VFW) codecs

• Autodesk 3ds Max and Combustion 4 do not support exporting to a Matrox

.avi file with alpha (the alpha channel will be opaque). (Ref# 42251)

• If you want to use a Matrox VFW Uncompressed HD codec to render 1080i

clips that you’ll be importing to Autodesk Combustion, you must render

video only (that is, the .avi file must not contain any audio). (Ref# 44598)

• When rendering to a Matrox NTSC .avi file using 3ds Max, the frame rate

for the video is automatically set to 30, and you can’t manually change the

frame rate to 29.97 fps, which is the required setting for NTSC video with

the Matrox VFW codecs. Therefore, your rendered Matrox NTSC .avi file

will be invalid. (Ref# 42190)

Matrox MAX H.264 encoding (MAX option)

•Matrox .mp4 files encoded using the Matrox MAX H.264 codec are

supported for playback using YouTube, Adobe Flash Player, QuickTime

Player, Apple iPad, Apple iPod, Apple iPhone, Apple TV, and Android

devices only. Matrox .264 files are supported for Blu-ray Disc authoring

using Adobe Encore only. (Ref# 54631)

•Matrox .mp4 files that have a custom frame size may display shifted with

black borders when played back using YouTube or certain other players. To

avoid this issue, set the width for your Matrox .mp4 file to 320, 480, 640,

720, 960, 1280, 1440, or 1920, and the height to at least 176 (the height must

be a multiple of 16). (Ref# VPG-3511)

• If your Matrox .mp4 file has a width of 1024, you may have problems

playing the file using the native Android 4.0 video player. (Ref# VPG-4833)
