Matrox Vetura Capture
Using the Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame codec
The Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame codec is a full-raster HD codec that gets installed
automatically when you install your MXO2 software. It is included primarily for
users who do not have a full-raster HD codec installed on their system.
To capture SD/HD video using the Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame codec, the MXO2
software must be installed on your system, and the MXO2 hardware must be
connected.
If the captured video will be played back on another system, the Matrox MPEG-2
I-frame codec must be installed on that system as well. You can download the
Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame codec for playback on other Mac systems from the
Download section of our Support website at www.matrox.com/video/support.
