Defining your MXO2 settings

This section details the MXO2, MXO2 Rack, and MXO2 Mini settings in the
MXO2 preferences window. The Matrox MXO2 preferences window allows you
to specify various settings for working with MXO2. You can also view
information about your MXO2, such as the serial number and software version.
Depending on your MXO2 hardware, some of the options described in this
chapter may not be available, and your Matrox MXO2 preferences window may
not appear exactly as shown.
Remarks
• Before defining your settings, make sure that you've installed your MXO2
hardware, powered your MXO2, and connected your MXO2 to your Mac
system.
• If you have an MXO2 product with Matrox MAX technology, the MXO2
inputs and outputs will not be available when creating H.264 files using the
Matrox MAX H.264 codec. This limitation, however, does not apply if your
system includes a Matrox CompressHD card. In this case, the Matrox MAX
H.264 codec on your CompressHD card will always be used for the
encoding, and your MXO2 inputs and outputs will be available when
creating H.264 files. For details on using the Matrox MAX H.264 codec, see
Chapter 9, "Using the Matrox MAX H.264
Chapter 6, Installing Your MXO2 Software and Configuring Your System
codec."
