Chapter 7, Monitoring Your Matrox RT.X2 System
Using X.info to display RT.X2 information
The Matrox X.info program lets you display information about your Matrox
RT.X2 system and installed hardware, and provides warnings when certain
problems arise, such as when the temperature of your RT.X2 card exceeds the
maximum operating temperature. You can also use the X.info program to enable
and disable the Matrox hardware-accelerated (Flex GPU) effects in Adobe
Premiere Pro if you have a display card that supports these effects (see
“Enabling
and disabling the Matrox hardware-accelerated effects in Adobe Premiere Pro”
on page 169 ).
Matrox X.info runs continuously to monitor your system, whenever your
computer is turned on. You can open Matrox X.info to display system and
hardware details by double-clicking the
icon on your Windows taskbar.
¦ Note If you do not see the icon, right-click the notification area of the taskbar
and choose Properties , clear the Hide inactive icons option, and click OK .
Monitoring your Adobe Premiere Pro memory
usage
When Adobe Premiere Pro is running, you can monitor your Adobe Premiere Pro
memory usage. To do this, hold your mouse pointer over the Matrox X.info
(
) icon. A pop-up message will display the current Adobe Premiere Pro
memory usage. If your Adobe Premiere Pro memory usage is very high, X.info
will issue a warning message with additional information.
