Editing HD sequences on a Matrox Axio SD
system
Your collaborative workflow can be even more flexible and affordable with the
ability to edit HD sequences on a Matrox Axio SD system. In other words, HD
sequence sharing can be done seamlessly between Matrox Axio HD, SD, and LE
systems. When you open an Adobe Premiere project with an HD sequence on
Matrox Axio SD, the sequence's video output is automatically downconverted to
NTSC or PAL depending on the sequence's video format, and the video
processing format is set to 8-bit. Because of the high-quality downconverting,
you can use SD video monitors to preview your HD edits.
All Matrox Axio systems support native HDV and DVCPRO HD capture (for
HDV capture, however, you must use the Adobe Premiere Pro HDV capture
format). Although you can't capture HD clips using analog or SDI input on a
Matrox Axio SD system, you can capture HDV and DVCPRO HD clips natively
over the 1394 interface for editing in your HD sequences. You can also import
supported disk-based clips, such as .mxf and .mp4 files, to your HD sequences on
Matrox Axio HD or SD.
When you're ready to deliver your final HD sequence, you can use your Matrox
Axio SD system to export to SD format (downconvert the HD video to NTSC or
PAL), or export to DVCPRO HD format over the 1394 interface. To export to an
HDV device over the 1394 interface, you must copy or import your Matrox
sequence into a native Adobe Premiere Pro HDV sequence.
You can't edit a 1080p @ 24 fps sequence on Matrox Axio SD.
