Page 230: Exporting To Matrox Max H.264 Files Using Adobe Media Encoder
Exporting to Matrox MAX H.264 files using Adobe Media Encoder You can use the Matrox MAX H.264 codec on your Mojito MAX card to quickly and easily export material to H.264 files for Blu-ray Disk and other media formats from Adobe Media Encoder. Matrox presets are provided for creating .264 elementary stream files in HD formats that are supported for Blu-ray Disc...
Page 231 ¦ Note If you’re exporting to a Matrox .mp4 file, two types of presets will be available—Fast Encode and High Quality. Select a Fast Encode preset for fast encoding that leverages your system’s resources with your Matrox hardware.
Page 232 Matrox .264 file, the available frame sizes are 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720 . When exporting to a Matrox .mp4 file, you can select a Chapter 15, Using the Matrox MAX H.264 Codec with Adobe Software...
Page 233 Select this option if you’re Use Matrox MAX hardware scaler scaling your source video for export, and you want to use the Matrox MAX hardware scaler to perform the scaling. This gives good performance when scaling to an HD resolution. If you’re downscaling to an SD or lower resolution, you can get a faster export by clearing this option, which allows Adobe to perform the scaling.
Page 234 ¦ Note When exporting audio from an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence to a Matrox .264 file, the available output channels depend on the type of audio tracks being exported. For example, you can select Surround 5.1 to export 5.1 surround tracks to six mono .wav files. For a 16-channel track, you can select Mono or Stereo to export the audio to a single mono or stereo .wav file.
Page 235: Performing A Direct Export Of An Adobe Premiere Pro Sequence
Encoder, additional processing is required to transfer the sequence from Premiere Pro to Media Encoder. If you want to export only a single sequence to a Matrox MAX H.264 file (.264 or .mp4 file), you may find it more convenient and get faster results by performing a direct export as explained in this section.
Page 236 If your sequence includes closed caption text and you’d like the closed captioning to be embedded in your exported Matrox .mp4 file, under Video , select Embed closed captioning in file : Remarks Only CEA-608 closed captioning data in your sequence can be embedded in your exported Matrox .mp4 file.
Page 237: Transcoding For Blu-Ray Disc Authoring In Adobe Encore
Transcoding for Blu-ray Disc authoring in Adobe Encore Instead of exporting material to a Matrox .264 file from Adobe Media Encoder or Premiere Pro and then importing the file into Adobe Encore for Blu-ray Disc authoring, you can choose to perform the transcoding of clips directly within Encore.
Page 238 ¥ Tip You can check the Estimated File Size at the bottom of the dialog box to determine the approximate file size of your transcoded material based on your currently selected settings. If needed, you can change your Matrox MAX H.264 settings to better meet your file size requirements, such as by selecting a different encoding type and lower data rate.
Page 239 Use Matrox MAX hardware scaler for transcoding to HD for Blu-ray Disc, it’s recommended that you select this option to use the Matrox MAX hardware scaler to perform the scaling. Click the Audio tab to display the settings for your transcoded audio.
Page 240: Specifying Your Matrox Max H.264 Settings
Specifying your Matrox MAX H.264 settings When creating Matrox MAX H.264 files (Matrox .264 or .mp4 files), appropriate codec settings are applied based on the Matrox preset you selected. If needed, you can customize the settings that you want for the H.264 compression.
Page 241 59.94 Remarks Use H.264 level 4.0 if you want to create Matrox MAX H.264 files intended for mass replication of Blu-ray Discs. You can use either level 4.0 or 4.1 if you want to author and burn individual copies that are compatible with Blu-ray Disc players.
Page 242 ¦ Note When customizing the settings for a Matrox .264 file, be aware that Matrox .264 files that have a data rate higher than about 30 Mb/sec may require transcoding in Adobe Encore. The maximum H.264 level and data rate accepted by Adobe Encore for Blu-ray Disc authoring with audio and video is level 4.1 at 35 Mb/sec.
Page 243 (must be a multiple of the distance between P frames). When creating a Matrox .264 file for Blu-ray, the GOP size must be less than one second of video. For example, if the frame rate for your encoded video is 29.97 fps, the GOP size must be 29 frames or less.

Page 265: Understanding Pulldown
Understanding Pulldown This appendix describes the available Mojito MAX pulldown methods.
Page 266: Overview
Depending on your editing video format, a pulldown may be required to convert 23.98 fps video to 29.97 fps video for output on Matrox Mojito MAX. When a pulldown is required for your video output, Matrox Mojito MAX performs either a standard 2:3 pulldown or an advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown.
Page 267: Advanced 2:3:3:2 Pulldown
Advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown Advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown was developed as an alternative to the standard pulldown method for making frame rate conversions in DV video. It is used to convert 486p @ 23.98 fps video to NTSC (486i @ 29.97 fps) video. This conversion is used when video footage is acquired by a DV camera at 23.98 fps and recorded to DV tape with the recorder set for advanced pulldown (called 24PA or 24P Advanced mode on some devices).
