Matrox intros ProHD software
 

Matrox announced the following, which should be of interest to any JVC ProHD user:

"Matrox Video Products Group announced that release 2.0 software for the Matrox RT.X2 realtime HDV and DV editing platform will provide significant new features including realtime native editing of JVC’s ProHD HDV 720p format. Matrox RT.X2 is designed primarily for realtime native HDV and DV editing with Adobe Premiere Pro. It also provides a high-quality MPEG-2 I-frame codec so users can capture other HD and SD formats using RT.X2’s analog inputs and mix all types of footage on the timeline in real time. Matrox RT.X2 will be demonstrated on the Matrox stand 7.128 at IBC in Amsterdam."

Other new features coming in release 2.0 include:

· Support for Matrox HDV files and Matrox Flex CPU effects in Adobe After Effects
· 4:2:2:4 (YUVA) MPEG-2 I-frame editing in HD and SD
· Realtime playback and mixing of Adobe native HDV files – .MPEG and .M2T · Improved color correction tools
· WYSIWYG video output for Adobe Bridge and Windows Media Player
· Four new effects – cube, impressionist, ripple, twirl

Software included is Premier Pro2. Presumably this will help the speed at which native camera data can be handled by a computer.
