Mixing SD and HD clips in a project
Matrox RT.X2 supports realtime playback of SD clips in an HD project, and HD
clips in an SD project. To do this, however, the clips must be scaled to your
project's frame size. If you want the scaling to be performed when you import the
clips into your project, choose Edit > Preferences > General and select
Default scale to frame size
been imported into your project. To scale individual clips in a sequence,
right-click the clip in the Timeline panel and choose Scale to Frame Size .
Because you can also mix interlaced and progressive clips that have the same
frame size and frame rate in a project, when you apply realtime scaling to a clip it
will play back in real time even if the clip's scanning mode (interlaced or
progressive) doesn't match your project.
Depending on your project's video format, realtime scaling of clips is supported
as shown in the following table:

486p @ 23.98 fps
