Monitoring your Axio hardware operating
temperatures
As shown in the X.info Hardware section, each page displays the current and
maximum operating temperatures for your various Matrox Axio hardware
components. To avoid damage to your Axio components and/or computer
system, make sure that you don't operate your Axio hardware at or near the
maximum temperature for a prolonged period of time. You should target your
Axio hardware to operate at least 10°C below the maximum operating
temperature.
You should monitor the temperature of your Axio hardware components
periodically and take measures as needed to lower the room temperature and/or
improve the ventilation in your Axio system. For details on how to ensure your
system is properly ventilated, see
"Providing adequate ventilation"
on page
8
for
Matrox Axio HD or SD, and
"Providing adequate ventilation"
on page
26
for
Matrox Axio LE.
Enabling and disabling the Matrox
hardware-accelerated effects in Adobe
Premiere Pro
The X.info program provides a page to display hardware information about your
display card. On this page, you can also choose to enable or disable the Matrox
hardware-accelerated effects in Adobe Premiere Pro. If your display card
supports the Matrox hardware-accelerated effects, Enable Matrox
hardware-accelerated effects in Adobe Premiere Pro
will be selected by
default. If you're having problems with these effects, however, you may want to
clear this option to disable the effects.
To enable the Matrox hardware-accelerated effects in Adobe Premiere Pro you
must be using Matrox Axio with a display card that has at least 256 MB of
onboard memory and supports Microsoft DirectX 9. You can't enable the
Matrox-hardware accelerated effects if Matrox has tested your display card and
determined that it doesn't support these effects. For Axio LE, you can check the
Matrox Video Support site for up-to-date information about the display cards
tested by Matrox at www.matrox.com/video/support. For Axio HD and Axio SD,
contact your Axio dealer for a list of recommended display cards.
Error notification
As well as temperature warnings, there are a number of other possible hardware
problems that X.info looks for (such as if your breakout box is not properly
connected). Once X.info has detected a hardware problem, the Matrox X.info
Notification
dialog box will be displayed to give you details of the problem and
further instructions. You will not be able to close this dialog box until the
problem has been resolved.
