Chapter 8, Using Matrox MXO2 with Adobe Premiere Pro
Defining your playback settings
In order to use your Matrox MXO2 hardware to output video and audio played
back in Adobe Premiere Pro, you must set your video and audio devices to use
the Matrox Player as follows:
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Playback .
2 From the Audio Device list, select Matrox Player.
3 Under Video Device , select Matrox Player .
4 To configure your playback settings on Matrox MXO2, click Setup beside
Matrox Player under Video Device .
The Matrox Playback Settings dialog box provides various settings that you
can use to configure your Matrox MXO2 video and audio outputs as explained in
the following sections.
Remarks
• The video output formats (if locked) and the audio output settings in the
Matrox Playback Settings dialog box apply to your entire project. All
other settings, however, are specific to your sequence. Any video output
settings you specify for a particular video format will be applied the next
time you create a new sequence in that same format. If you change any of the
video output settings, the new settings will be applied to all previously
created sequences that have that video format in your project. For example,
if you create a new DV-NTSC sequence, the settings you apply for that
sequence will also be applied to any previously created DV-NTSC sequences
in your project.
• For the best quality output when previewing a sequence that has an
interlaced video format, make sure that you choose Display Both Fields in
the Program Monitor menu.
• You can also select Matrox Player as your video and audio devices in
Adobe Prelude and Encore to use your Matrox MXO2 hardware to monitor
video and audio played back in those applications. The settings provided for
configuring your Matrox MXO2 video and audio outputs in Adobe Prelude
and Encore are the same as for Premiere Pro, except the option to lock the
video output formats is not available.
