Welcome to Matrox Multi
The Matrox Multi family of input/output cards are single-slot SDI cards that
provide up to four independent inputs or outputs to Mac Pro and Apple Xserve
systems. You can install multiple Matrox Multi cards in one system, and
configure each card individually using the Matrox Multi preferences window.
Designed to operate with dedicated third-party applications, Matrox Multi cards
bring a new level of channel density to your Mac system.
Matrox Multi cards feature simultaneous and independent SDI inputs/outputs
that allow you to capture and play back different video formats at the same time.
Multi cards include a 10-bit on-board hardware scaler, and support a full range of
broadcast-quality video/audio inputs and outputs in NTSC and PAL, as well as
480p, 720p, 1080p, and 1080i resolutions at all frame rates. All Multi cards
feature up to 16 channels of embedded SDI audio, four unbalanced analog audio
output RCA connectors for monitoring (not supported on Multi-Ingest), one
analog black burst reference input with loop-through output, one LTC input, and
an RS-422 connector for device control.
