News a Safe Harbor blog Matrox Announces Windows Drivers for Products Featuring Matrox MAX 0 Posted by Safe Harbor Staff October 9, 2009 If you enjoy this post, please share it! Matrox® Video Products Group today announced that Windows drivers for Matrox CompressHD1 and Matrox MXO2 Mini2 with the MAX option are now available as a free download from the Matrox website for registered owners. Matrox MAX technology uses a dedicated hardware processor to accelerate the creation of HD H.264 files for Blu-ray, Flash, YouTube, and the web. By using specialized hardware acceleration, jobs are finished with amazing speed and system resources are liberated for other tasks. Ease of use is ensured through direct integration with Adobe Media Encoder and Adobe Premiere Pro on the PC. "Users of Matrox MAX technology for Windows get the HD encoding speed and quality of a high-end workstation from a laptop or older PC when delivering to Blu-ray, Flash, and YouTube," said Alberto Cieri, Matrox senior sales and marketing director. "If they are lucky enough to own that high-end system, the Matrox MAX hardware can be dedicated to cranking out HD H.264 deliverables, letting them use more system resources to continue editing." "Creative professionals who use PC laptops for H.264 encoding can expect a huge performance boost with Matrox MAX technology," said Chris Yigit, Matrox technical marketing manager. "For example, creating a 20 minute H.264 Blu-ray file from an XDCAM EX 1080i 60 HQ source typically takes about two and half hours on an Intel Core 2 Duo laptop. Using Matrox MAX technology, that same file can be generated in about 19 minutes."
