Comments about Matrox MXO2 Mini Max for Desktop Systems:
I bought this item mainly to reduce rendering times,and for the real time color correction.I didn't check the capturing ad I use only tapeless cameras.For what I bought it is working, not how is advertised realtime but is near :-)and improved a great deal my rendering time.Color correction is somehow intuitive but definitely you must get used to it.The manual is poor and a tutorial like the one from Safe Harbor computers will help a lot, but I am not going to pay another $89.00 for it, maybe should be bundled with the Matrox box to complete the insufficient manual.So far so good the Matrox box crashed Premiere CS5 only twice and only once I lost the project so except for this annoyance, what I consider it minor didn't give me any problems.

Comments about Matrox MXO2 Mini Max for Desktop Systems:
The Matrox MXO2 Mini with Max is the central piece of my workflow now. I use Adobe Premiere CS5 and MX02 Mini with Max to encode all my videos for fast deliver to YouTube. The outputs are realtime and outstanding quality. I don;t have a fast pc, but the encoding is done real time. Even though CS5 version 5.03 is not yet officially announced by Matrox, it works fine in Windoes 7 (64bit) environment.

Comments about Matrox MXO2 Mini Max for Desktop Systems:
Upon install the Matrox did a firmware update. Installation was unbelievably easy!!!
I was able to run the color bars in Final Cut smoothly allowing me to turn my ordinary TV into a color accurate video monitor. I do notice that I have to let the Matrox warm up for a few minutes prior to editing otherwise I get dropped frames. I was able to encode a 3 min video in just under a minute. Definitely faster than real time.
I'm running it through an HMDI out to a 32" LCD 720P TV with superior picture quality. The added advantages are the Component in/out for video capture from my Canon XH A1S and the HDMI in for the Canon HV20.
This tiny monster comes highly recommended for those who are looking for fast H.264 encodes and color accurate external video monitoring capabilities through large LCD, Plasma, or LED TV's.
