I'm hoping someone has seen (and solved) the problem I am seeing with the Matrox MXO box. I'm using it to drive a 23" ACD in a color corrected way for 1080HD editing (sony EX1 footage).
I works great for a day. When in desktop mode, the second display is an extension of my desktop. When you boot FCP (6.0.5) it becomes the main output display.
However, after one day or so of operation, you open the same project and the aux display goes dark - no image of any kind. And FCP is hung up - will play about one second of anything and then halts (as long as the MXO is the chosen video output).
Matrox gave me a replacement unit, so I don't believe it's a hardware problem. I'm also running QT 7.6 and the latest MXO driver. This setup promises to be a great way to edit HD except it isn't working! Matrox support has been trying to help, but they don't seem to have a clue. I'm running OS X 5.6 on a Mac Pro from 2008 (2xquad core xeon).
