Matrox RT.X2 PCIe HD Capture and Editing Card
- No Longer Available
The RT.X2 PCIe HD Capture and Editing Card from Matrox installs in your computer's PCIe x1 slot to allow you to digitize both SD and HD video footage. The card allows you to edit HDV and DV video in realtime. Supporting HD video at 1080i lines at both 29.97 and 25 fps, the card is an ideal solution for corporate video producers, event videographers, educators and independent filmmakers.
The RT.X2 allows you to work with multiple layers of SD and HD video and delivers real time effects including color correction and broadcast-quality 3D effects. Analog video is compressed using a high-quality MPEG-2 4:2:2 codec and you can even mix HD and SD video on the same timeline. The card even features a DVI output to allow you to monitor your HD video at full resolution on the dedicated LCD display of your choice. These features and more make the card an excellent choice for editors who wish to work with HD video.
- Scalable Design
- The RT.X2 leverages the speed of your computer's CPU and GPU to process its Flex CPU and Flex GPU effects. This allows you to build a system around the card to suit your needs, as well as to upgrade the components around the RT.X2 to improve performance as needed.
- Realtime HD and SD Workflows
- The RT.X2 allows you to work with multiple layers of HD and SD video in realtime. You can work with high quality realtime effects in a native HDV editing environment. The card allows you to capture video in HDV, while editing in SD for maximum performance. Your original HDV video retains its full resolution, allowing you to output HD when the editing is done.
- Realtime Flex CPU Effects
- Powered by your computer's CPU, the Realtime Flex CPU Effects engine allows you to manipulate your video in multiple ways. Effects, all in realtime, include color correction, chroma and luma keying, speed changes, transitions, track matte, move & scale, SD clip upscaling and HD clip downscaling.
- Realtime Flex GPU Effects
- Powered by your computer's GPU, the Realtime Flex GPU Effects engine allows you to manipulate your video in multiple ways. Effects, all in realtime, include the Adobe Motion effect, advanced 2D/3D DVE, shadow, blur, glow, soft focus, page curl, surface finish, pan & scan, mask, mark blur, mask mosaic, four-corner pin, crystallize, lens flare, old movie effect and accelerated shine.
- Productivity Features
- The RT.X2 has many features that will help boost your productivity. These include WYSIWYG compositing, voiceover recording for the timeline, surround sound support, video capture VU meters, video capture preview, device control, mixed format multicam editing in realtime, legacy support for RT.X100 files, 24 fps editing in SD, flexible AVI and WAV formats, project compatibility with Matrox Axio and accelerated file export.
