Matrox MXO2 Mini Max

Not only does Matrox MXO2 Mini MAX give you affordable HDMI and analog video and audio 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 Mini MAX, you no longer need to even consider making that trade off.

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)

Scaling
Dedicated hardware scaler	Multi-tap 10-bit realtime processing HD to SD downscaling - Proper conversion of the HD color space to the SD color space and proper aspect ratio conversion to anamorphic, letterbox, and center cut are provided. You can monitor or record an SD master of an HD project in real time. SD to HD upscaling - Proper conversion of the SD color space to the HD color space is performed. Footage with a 4:3 aspect ratio will be "pillarboxed". SD 16:9 footage will be scaled to full screen. Cross conversions from 720 to 1080 and 1080 to 720 All scaling operations can be accompanied by frame rate conversion with 2:3:2:3 and 2:3:3:2 cadences to facilitate monitoring 23.98 fps footage on a monitor that does not support the specific frame rate.
