Installing your Matrox MXO2 software

You can install the MXO2 software on a computer with or without the MXO2
hardware 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.
To download and install the latest version of the MXO2 software, visit the MXO2
Support section of our website at www.matrox.com/video/support. You can also
contact your MXO2 dealer for the latest software.

Updating your MXO2 firmware

When you install the MXO2 software while your MXO2 hardware is powered
and connected to your Mac system, the MXO2 software installation
automatically verifies the firmware on your MXO2 hardware and updates it if
required. However, if you install the MXO2 software on your Mac system
without a powered MXO2 connected, your MXO2 hardware may have a
firmware version that is not supported by the installed MXO2 software. If your
MXO2 hardware has an incompatible firmware version when you later connect
the MXO2 hardware to your Mac system, the Matrox MXO2 preferences
window options will be unavailable and a message regarding the incompatibility
between the MXO2 software and MXO2 firmware will appear in the Info pane
