Welcome to Matrox MXO2

Matrox MXO2 connects to your Mac system to provide broadcast-quality
input/output, monitoring, and up/down/cross conversion to streamline your
workflow with supported video editing applications. MXO2 provides built-in
surround sound monitoring, as well as the flexibility to map any audio track from
a video editing application 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. For Matrox MXO2 products with Matrox MAX technology, the
dedicated hardware processor accelerates the creation of .mov files for the web,
and mobile devices.
