Matrox Vetura Playback
Matrox Vetura Playback
The Matrox Vetura Playback stand-alone application gets installed with your
MXO2 software. Through the use of standard controls, Vetura Playback lets you
play back .mov clips with up to 16 channels of audio, and output the clips using
your MXO2 hardware. You can also use Vetura Playback to take a high-quality
snapshot of any frame of your video.
Playing back Matrox 4VANC data
If your clip contains Matrox 4VANC closed captioning and Matrox 4VANC AFD
data, Vetura Playback will play back the closed caption and AFD data when
playing back your clip. For information on playing back Matrox 4VANC data,
see “Audio controls and Matrox 4VANC data” on page 131.
Supported files and video formats
Matrox Vetura Playback supports playback of .mov files, including .mov files
created using the Matrox MAX H.264 codec (see Chapter 10, “Using the Matrox
MAX H.264 Codec”), provided that the associated codecs are installed on your
system. For a list of the supported project video formats, and video output
formats for the MXO2 main and SD channels, see Appendix D, “Matrox MXO2
Supported Output Formats.”
