This guide provides brief installation instructions for installing your Matrox MXO2 hardware and software. It is intended to help you quickly set up your Matrox MXO2 system. For detailed installation instructions, please refer to your Matrox MXO2 Installation and User Guide.
Powering Matrox MXO2 You can power MXO2 using an AC outlet via the external power supply, or using a battery via the Matrox battery power cable. For battery requirements and guidelines, see your Matrox MXO2 Installation and User Guide. ²Caution Matrox will not be held responsible for damages caused to your MXO2 system or connected hardware resulting from a non-Matrox-approved or faulty battery.
Connect MXO2 to your Mac Pro or MacBook Pro using the MXO2 PCIe cable. ¡ Important For MXO2 to be detected on a Mac Pro system, power must be supplied to MXO2, and it must be connected to your Mac Pro before starting your computer.
Installing your Matrox MXO2 software You can install the MXO2 software on a computer with or without the MXO2 hardware installed or connected. If you plan on working with Final Cut Pro, you should install Final Cut Pro before installing the MXO2 software. For information on installing Final Cut Pro, see your Final Cut Pro documentation.
Typical MXO2 digital video connections In the following illustration, we’ve connected a video monitor to view the signal that will be recorded, and separate source and record decks. You may, however, use the same deck as both your source and record device by making the input and output connections to a single deck.
