$1,939.00

Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme is part of the new generation of Matrox products to incorporate the Power of X – a new architecture that leverages the scalable power of your CPU with the explosive performance of dedicated hardware for the ultimate realtime video editing experience

Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme delivers many unique professional features that are not available on any other video editing card in its class. It's ideal for corporate communicators, event videographers, project studios, educational facilities, and digital filmmakers.

RT.X100 Xtreme empowers Adobe Premiere and Sonic ReelDVD Studio. You get full-quality, full-resolution, no compromise realtime editing and professional DVD authoring at a price that is comparable, or even lower, than other software-only realtime applications.

Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme builds on the success of the Matrox RT.X100 realtime editing platform that has won numerous international awards. New workflow and productivity enhancements include:

• XtremePreview for editing many layers and effects without rendering

• Professional waveform and vectorscope monitors

The Power of X" – that's what we call the ability of the new generation of Matrox products to leverage the scalable power of your CPU with the explosive performance of dedicated hardware for the ultimate realtime video editing experience.

Until recently, dedicated hardware has been required at the heart of every realtime nonlinear editing system because CPUs just weren't up to the demanding task of handling video in realtime. Suddenly, with the advent of Gigahertz CPUs, editing software can be made to do some editing operations in real time, without hardware assistance, using just CPU power alone.

Today's CPUs, however, are still not powerful enough to allow software-based realtime engines to perform all the realtime operations you would typically like to do, at full quality. Compromises are necessary. Common trade-offs include working at half- or quarter-screen preview resolution, reducing the frame rate, and turning off processing-intensive filtering and antialiasing. When you're done with your last edit, you must spend the time to render your entire project to see the actual result.

Software-based editing products hold the promise of being more flexible and more scalable because as CPU speed increases, so does editing performance. On the other hand, specialized hardware excels at a number of time-consuming functions such as DV and MPEG-2 encoding and 3D effects. It also provides the necessary analog and digital inputs and outputs that are not built into your computer.

"The Power of X" takes full advantage of your CPU and harnesses the power of dedicated hardware to give you the extra edge to enhance your editing experience – at a price that is comparable or even lower than many software-only editing products.

With Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme, you generate revenue for your business today. As computer platforms get faster in the future, you'll benefit from the scalable power of the CPU, and still be a step ahead with the extra boost you get from fully-optimized hardware.

The Power of X, as implemented in Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme exploits the full power of the CPU for:

• Ultra-fast DV decoding without quality compromises

• Smooth slow and fast motion control

• Advanced 18 parameter color correction

• Advanced chroma keying with shadow preservation, spill removal, and noise reduction

The Power of X, as implemented in Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme exploits the full power of dedicated hardware for:

• Realtime DV output

• Realtime MPEG-2 encoding

• Analog input and output

• Compositing and true 3D geometric effects

• High-quality bi-cubic and anisotropic effects filtering
