Working with Adobe Photoshop
The Matrox WYSIWYG plug-in for Photoshop lets you export your Photoshop
image to the MXO2 outputs for monitoring. Matrox also provides WYSIWYG
options that you can set to customize your output preview.
Perform the following steps to export your Photoshop image to the MXO2
outputs:
1 Start Adobe Photoshop and either open an existing image file, or start a new
project.
2 Set the MXO2 WYSIWYG settings in the MXO2 preferences window (see
“Specifying your Matrox WYSIWYG settings” on page 74).
3 Export your image to the MXO2 outputs by choosing File > Export >
Matrox WYSIWYG Preview
. If you make a change to your image, or to the
Matrox WYSIWYG options, you must export the image again to refresh the
output.
¥Tip You can create a Photoshop Action shortcut for File > Export > Matrox
WYSIWYG Preview
. For information on creating Actions, see your Adobe
Photoshop documentation.
Using Matrox MXO2 with live media streaming
applications
You can use your Matrox MXO2 system as an input device to feed live video and
audio to streaming media encoding applications, such as Adobe Flash Media
Live Encoder, QuickTime Broadcaster, and Telestream Wirecast. This lets you
stream media for broadcasting live events such as sports, concerts, news,
educational seminars, and corporate meetings. For example, you can select any
video and audio source connected to the MXO2 inputs as your A/V sources for
use with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder, scale the incoming video to the
streaming format that you want using the MXO2 hardware scaler, and stream the
live video and audio to a public distribution website or your dedicated IP hosting
site.
Selecting MXO2 as the A/V input device
The following instructions are guidelines for using MXO2 with the supported
media streaming applications, except Telestream Wirecast. For instructions on
using Telestream Wirecast, see “Working with Telestream Wirecast” on page 99.
For details on how to specify encoding settings in your streaming media
encoding application, refer to your application’s documentation.
