Monitoring your MXO2’s operating
temperatures
As shown in the X.info Hardware section, the MXO2 page displays the current
and maximum operating temperatures for your Matrox MXO2 hardware. To
avoid damage to your Matrox MXO2, make sure that you don’t operate your
MXO2 at or near the maximum temperature for a prolonged period of time. You
should target your MXO2 to operate at least 10°C below the maximum operating
temperature.
You should monitor the temperature of your MXO2 periodically and take
measures as needed to lower the room temperature and/or make sure that the
MXO2 is not close to a heat source and the MXO2 ventilation holes are not
obstructed.
Selecting your primary Matrox I/O device
If you’ve installed multiple Matrox MXO2 devices, you can use them all to feed
live video and audio to Telestream Wirecast for streaming and recording (see
Chapter 16, “Using Matrox MXO2 with Telestream Wirecast ”). Other
applications used with your Matrox MXO2 hardware, such as Matrox A/V Tools
and editing applications, support only one Matrox I/O device, referred to as the
primary device.
To select your primary Matrox I/O device, click the devices’s tab and select Use
as primary Matrox I/O device . In order for this setting to take effect, you’ll
need to close all applications that are using your Matrox I/O hardware. When you
restart an application that supports only one Matrox I/O device, your selected
primary device will be used with that application.
¦ Note The option to select a primary device will be available in X.info only
when multiple Matrox I/O devices are detected. If you don’t select a primary
Matrox I/O device, the first device detected in your system will be used as your
primary device.
Error notification
X.info provides temperature warnings and warnings for other possible MXO2
hardware problems. Once X.info has detected a hardware problem, the
Matrox
X.info Notification dialog box will be displayed to give you details of the
problem and further instructions. You will not be able to close this dialog box
until the problem has been resolved.
