System requirements

Matrox MXO2 requires a Mac system with the following system configuration:

  • Intel-based Mac Pro or MacBook Pro.
  • Mac OS X v10.5 or later.
  • 1 free PCIe slot on the Mac Pro to install the Matrox PCIe host adapter.
  • 1 free ExpressCard/34 slot on the MacBook Pro to install the Matrox PCIe host ExpressCard/34 adapter.
  • If using MXO2 with Final Cut Studio 2, 2 GB physical memory (RAM) when working with compressed HD and uncompressed SD sources, or 4 GB physical memory (RAM) when working with uncompressed HD sources.
  • We recommend an HDMI monitor that supports 1920×1080 for previewing all HD formats, and "dot-by-dot" mode for 1:1 pixel mapping.
