Creating a new project on Matrox MXO2

You can create a new project for editing on Matrox MXO2 as explained in your
Avid documentation, with the following exceptions:
• Avid supports only standard raster dimensions for projects created on
Matrox MXO2 hardware. This means that when you create an HD project on
MXO2, the raster dimension will be set to 1280 × 720 for a 720p project, or
1920 ×1080 for a 1080i/p project. You can, however, still import, export, and
play back thin raster material in your HD project.
• Matrox MXO2 supports YCbCr video only. If you set your project's color
space to RGB, your Avid editing application will convert your material to
YCbCr for output on Matrox MXO2. To capture video using your Matrox
MXO2 hardware, your project's color space must be set to YCbCr.
