Welcome to Matrox MXO2

Matrox MXO2 connects to your Mac Pro or MacBook Pro to provide portable
broadcast-quality input/output, monitoring, and up/down/cross conversion to
streamline your workflow with Apple Final Cut Studio. MXO2 provides built-in
5.1 surround sound monitoring via RCA and HDMI, as well as the flexibility to
map any audio track in Final Cut Pro to any audio output. Through the use of
proc amp controls (hue, chroma, contrast, brightness, and blue-only), you can
adjust and control your HDMI monitor exactly as you would a broadcast HD/SD
monitor. This control turns your HDMI monitor into a true-color video display
with accurate color representation so that you can use your HDMI monitor even
for color grading.
