Avid’s support of Matrox MXO2 Mini gives Media Composer users a very
inexpensive HD monitoring solution. But that’s not the only benefit Matrox
products offer Avid users. Matrox MXO2 Mini with the built-in MAX H.264
encoding accelerator option lets you deliver H.264 files for the web, mobile
devices, and Blu-ray at speeds up to five times faster than software alone,
without sacrificing quality.
On the PC, you can speed up deliveries of H.264 files for the web, mobile
devices, and Blu-ray using Adobe Media Encoder, which you already own
if you are using Adobe After Effects for your motion graphic creation. Using
Matrox MAX with Adobe Media Encoder lets you deliver H.264 files up to five
times faster than if you export from Sorenson Squeeze software.

power of Matrox MAX to meet your specific needs. The vast array of fine-
tuneable controls lets you optimize encoding speed and video quality. Web
video publishers, in particular, will appreciate the ability of Matrox MAX
technology to deliver superb quality video at low bit rates.
