Timing offset controls can be used to align your video output relative to your external genlock source to compensate for cable delays within your facility.

- HD-SDI Closed-Captioning Support
- You will no longer need to spend time and money recreating HD captioning data that is typically lost when editing projects in Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro. Matrox MXO2 LE offers a unique workflow to capture, play back, and preserve closed captioning data while editing. Nothing is destroyed even when trimming or color correcting video clips. In addition, Matrox has worked with CPC, the closed captioning software leader, to develop an innovative solution that allows the MacCaption software to encode, decode, edit, and create HD and SD closed captioning for use with Matrox MXO2 LE. Matrox MXO2 LE also provides a cost effective way to monitor HD timelines containing closed captioning data on SDI and component SD monitors, while also inserting closed captioning information into line 21 of active video for SD deliverables. You can deliver HD and SD masters containing closed captions simultaneously.
- HD & SD Video Monitoring
- Matrox MXO2 LE turns your HDMI monitor into a true-color video display you can trust, even for color grading. It's packed with features that make it the ideal monitoring solution for Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Color, Adobe After Effects, and other QuickTime-based applications. You won't need to buy expensive HD monitoring equipment. In addition, MXO2 LE's real-time downscaling feature lets you view your HD projects on an SD monitor.
- HDMI Monitoring with 10-bit 4:2:2 Color Precision
- Matrox MXO2 LE lets you adjust and control your HDMI monitor exactly like you would a broadcast HD/SD monitor. Controls for hue, chroma, contrast, brightness, and blue-only are provided. This unique control gives you accurate color representation so that you can use your HDMI monitor even for color grading.
- Pixel-to-Pixel Mapping on HDMI Display
- Matrox MXO2 LE provides 1:1 pixel mapping on HDMI monitors that support this feature.
- Real-Time Conversion, Capture & Output
- Matrox MXO2 LE lets you deliver in any format your clients demand. The 10-bit hardware scaling provides high-quality mastering.
- HD to SD Downscaling
- Matrox MXO2 LE provides real-time HD to SD downscaling with proper conversion of the HD color space to the SD color space and proper aspect ratio conversion to anamorphic, letterbox, and center cut. You can monitor or record an SD master of your HD project in real-time.
- SD to HD Upscaling
- Matrox MXO2 LE provides real-time SD to HD upscaling with proper conversion of the SD color space to the HD color space. MXO2 LE will "pillarbox" 4:3 footage and scale 16:9 SD footage to full screen.
- Cross Conversion
- Matrox MXO2 LE offers real-time cross conversions from 720 to 1080 and 1080 to 720. Real-time frame rate conversion is also supported with 2:3:2:3 and 2:3:3:2 cadences. This feature is useful if, for example, your source material is recorded at a different frame rate or resolution than the delivery format your client requires. It also facilitates monitoring when, for example, you need to work with 23.98 fps footage but your monitor does not support that frame rate. You can use MXO2 LE's real-time frame rate conversion to view your project at 29.97 fps. Conversion from 23.98 fps to 25 fps is handled by your editing application and the host.

Comments about Matrox MXO2 LE (Laptop):
This is great to have on the run, or in the studio. My only gripe is that Avid doesn't support this, only the mini. It is very convenient to have on the road and play back live to clients @ 1080. Great Product and have not had any issues. The one con of this item is that the inputs outputs are on the opposite sides - so you cant really mount this in a rack. And you will need to buy a PCIe card if you use a Tower as well as a laptop.
