Matrox MXO2 LE MAX SDI/HDMI/Analog HD/SD Video and Pro Audio I/O - H.264 Encoder

Not only does Matrox MXO2 LE MAX give you broadcast-quality input and output for your favorite editing app, it also turbocharges your H.264 encoding for deliveries to the web, mobile devices, and Blu-ray-all in a convenient, portable breakout box.

Only Matrox I/O devices deliver H.264 video up to 5 times faster without sacrificing quality.

If you're delivering H.264 content for the web, mobile devices, Apple TV, and Blu-ray discs, you know how painful it can be to wait for the long encoding times needed to create high-quality video files using software only. You might even be tempted to sacrifice quality for speed. With Matrox MXO2 LE MAX, you no longer need to even consider making that trade off.

Specifications:

• Resolutions: Even frame sizes from 64 x 64 to 1920 x 1080
• Bit rates: 100 Kb/s to 50 Mb/s
• Frame rates: 15, 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, and 60 frames per second
• Encoding profiles: Baseline (CAVLC) and main (CABAC) profiles
• Encoding controls:
• 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 level support
• GOP structure
• Constant bit rate (bit rate remains stable, quality varies depending on complexity of each frame)
• Constant quality (each video frame is analyzed to deliver the targeted quality, bit rate varies while keeping the lowest possible bit rate)
• Variable bit rate (squeezes out the highest possible quality at the average target bit rate)
• Noise filtering (saves bits by reducing high frequencies in the video)
• De-interlacing (ensures high-quality encodes of interlaced SD and 1080i source material)
• Data rate slider (produces smoother or more abrupt transitions)
• Sample rate monitoring (verifies compliance with targeted data rate)
• Scene detection (provides multi-pass quality in a single pass with Apple Compressor)
