Updating your MXO2 firmware

When you install the MXO2 software while your MXO2 hardware is powered
and connected to your computer, the Mtx.utils Setup program automatically
verifies the firmware on your MXO2 hardware and updates it if required. If you
install Mtx.utils on a computer without the MXOX2 hardware, the next time you
start your computer with your MXO2 hardware connected, Mtx.utils Setup will
update your MXO2 firmware if needed.
²Caution Do not disconnect or power off MXO2, or interrupt the firmware update
during the update process. Doing so may damage your MXO2 hardware.

Installing the Matrox VFW software codecs on
a system without the MXO2 hardware
The Matrox Video for Windows (VFW) software codecs let you render and play
back Matrox .avi files in your VFW programs without having to install Matrox
Mtx.utils and the Matrox MXO2 hardware. This flexibility allows you to use a
remote editing workstation to create a rough cut of your project, and then copy
the project and assets to your MXO2 system to finish the job.
