Customers asked, we listened

Third- party hardware support for the Matrox MXO2 Mini provides customers with a cost-effective monitoring solution that ideal for file-based workflows and workgroup editing.
HD-RGB finishing capabilities empower customers to maximize their billing by keeping high-end finishing work in-house. Media Composer Nitris DX now offers Dual Link HD-RGB support, allowing customers to digitize RGB 4:4:4 material from video sources like Sony® HDCAM SR™. A new RGB player and full-effects processing support provide greater precision for color, keying and effects work, satisfying the demands of the highest quality productions.
Multi-channel audio support lets users apply hundreds of real-time audio effects with support for Real-Time Audio Suite (RTAS) audio plug-ins, providing more creative and corrective audio options. Additionally, stereo timelines can now be treated as one channel/layer, easing handling and increasing available timeline real estate.
A new Smart Tool lets users drag to trim and edit, allowing direct manipulation of clips in the timeline. This feature is in addition to the advanced trim modes in Media Composer, and may be de-activated, providing customers with more choice in the way they work.
