“Having a range of I/O options is important for our customers,” said Ginna Baldassarre, senior product manager for professional video editing at Adobe. “The unique features of the Matrox RT technology such as hardware encoding to popular formats gives our customers more capabilities for both Macintosh and Windows. Combined with software innovations such as the updated Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe Premiere® Pro CS5.5, we jointly provide productivity advantages that positively impact nearly every area of professional editing and I/O."
“Content creators catering to the broadcast market, in particular, will benefit from the tight integration of the new Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 software with Matrox MXO2 devices to view closed captioning data of SD and HD timelines on HD-SDI, SDI, or analog SD monitors,” said Alberto Cieri, senior director of sales and marketing at Matrox. “In addition, they can simultaneously deliver HD and SD masters containing closed captioning.”
