Installing Matrox Mtx.utils

Matrox Mtx.utils Setup installs the MXO2 device drivers, and all the software
required to use your MXO2 hardware with supported programs. If you plan on
using MXO2 with a supported video editing application, make sure that the
application is installed before installing Matrox Mtx.utils. You should also install
any third-party programs for which you want to install the Matrox WYSIWYG
plug-ins, such as Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, and eyeon Fusion.
You can install Matrox Mtx.utils on a computer with or without the MXO2
hardware connected. To download and install the latest version of Matrox
Mtx.utils, visit the MXO2 Support section of our website at
www.matrox.com/video/support. You can also contact your Matrox
representative for the latest software.
Remarks
• Matrox Mtx.utils Setup installs software for Matrox MXO2 as well as the
Matrox CompressHD card. You can therefore use your Matrox MXO2
hardware with CompressHD. For details on using CompressHD, see your
Matrox CompressHD Installation and User Guide.
• If you want to use a Matrox Convert DVI product with MXO2 on the same
system, you must install Matrox MtxConvert.utils instead of Matrox
Mtx.utils. Matrox MtxConvert.utils is available in the "Downloads" section
of the Matrox Support website under "Combo Software" for your Convert
DVI product.

Updating your MXO2 firmware

When you install the MXO2 software while your MXO2 hardware is powered
and connected to your computer, the Mtx.utils Setup program automatically
verifies the firmware on your MXO2 hardware and updates it if required. If you
install Mtx.utils on a computer without the MXOX2 hardware, the next time you
start your computer with your MXO2 hardware connected, Mtx.utils Setup will
update your MXO2 firmware if needed.
²Caution
during the update process. Doing so may damage your MXO2 hardware.

Installing the Matrox effect patterns

The Matrox plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro includes Matrox wipes that you can
apply to clips in your Matrox projects as explained in
Matrox Effects with Adobe Premiere
you must install Matrox Mtx.utils as well as the Matrox effect patterns (GFX)
files. The Matrox effect patterns are available for download with Matrox MXO2
software releases that support Adobe Premiere Pro in the MXO2 Support section
of our website at www.matrox.com/video/support.
