box opens on the

Sequence Presets page.

7 Under Available Presets, select the preset that matches the type of

sequence you want to create. Matrox MXO2 supports all the available

presets, including custom presets that you create.

or uncompressed 8-bit presets, the appropriate Matrox codec will be set for

rendering your video previews. If you create a custom sequence preset using

a Matrox codec editing mode, you can specify the Matrox codec that you want

to render your video previews. For more information, see “Defining your video

preview settings” on page 69.

About the Matrox 10-bit editing workflow

Matrox MXO2 supports a complete 10-bit editing workflow in Adobe Premiere

Pro to give you the highest quality video. This means that you can capture and

export clips to Matrox 10-bit uncompressed format for use in your sequence,

render your video previews to Matrox 10-bit uncompressed format, and output

your sequence at 10-bit on Matrox MXO2 for preview or export to tape.

°To use a Matrox 10-bit editing workflow:

1 Create your sequence using one of the available presets under

Uncompressed 10-bit. This automatically applies the appropriate settings

for your video previews (the rendering codec is set to Matrox 10-bit

uncompressed and maximum bit depth is enabled).

2 When you configure your video output settings on Matrox MXO2, set the bit

depth for your video output to 10-bit (see “Specifying your video output

settings” on page 56 and “Specifying your video output settings (MXO2

Mini)” on page 61).

3 Capture your clips to Matrox 10-bit uncompressed format for editing in your

sequence (see “Specifying your video capture settings” on page 71).

4 If you add Matrox effects or other software effects to your sequence, you

must render these sections in order to output them at 10-bit. Only 10-bit

uncompressed clips without effects or with GPU-accelerated effects, and

video previews that have been rendered using the Matrox 10-bit

uncompressed codec can be output at 10-bit.

¦NoteYou can also export your sequence to a Matrox 10-bit uncompressed .avi

file as explained in “Exporting to a Matrox .avi file” on page 85.
