Welcome to Matrox MXO2

Matrox MXO2 connects to your Mac system to provide broadcast-quality
input/output, monitoring, and up/down/cross conversion to streamline your
workflow with Apple Final Cut Studio. MXO2 provides built-in surround sound
monitoring, as well as the flexibility to map any audio track in Final Cut Pro to
any audio output. Through the use of proc amp controls (hue, chroma, contrast,
brightness, and blue-only), you can adjust and control your HDMI monitor
exactly as you would a broadcast HD/SD monitor. This control turns your HDMI
monitor into a true-color video display with accurate color representation so that
you can use your HDMI monitor even for color grading. For Matrox MXO2
products with Matrox MAX technology, the dedicated hardware processor
accelerates the creation of H.264 files for Blu-ray Disc, the web, and mobile
devices.
