HD and SD video monitoring Matrox MXO2 turns your HDMI monitor into a true-color video display you can trust, even for color grading. It’s packed with features that make it the ideal monitoring solution for Final Cut Pro, Apple Color, Adobe Premiere Pro, and other QuickTime-based applications. You won’t need to buy expensive HD monitoring equipment. In addition, MXO2’s real-time downscaling feature lets you view your HD projects on an SD monitor. HDMI monitor calibration Matrox MXO2 lets you adjust and control your HDMI monitor exactly like you would a broadcast HD/SD monitor. Controls for hue, chroma, contrast, brightness, and blue-only are provided. This unique control gives you completely accurate color representation so that you can use your HDMI monitor even for color grading. Pixel-to-pixel mapping on the HDMI display Matrox MXO2 provides 1:1 pixel mapping on HDMI monitors that support this feature. You get accurate monitoring on your HDMI display in the following resolutions: 720 x 486 (NTSC) 720 x 576 (PAL) 1920 x 1080 1280 x 720 Audio monitoring Matrox MXO2 provides built-in 5.1 surround sound monitoring via RCA and HDMI so you don’t need to invest in additional equipment as you do with some other I/O products. Matrox MXO2 also gives you the flexibility to map any audio track in Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro to any audio output. Real-time hardware up/down/cross conversion Matrox MXO2 lets you deliver in any format your clients demand. The 10-bit hardware scaling provides high-quality mastering. HD to SD downscaling Matrox MXO2 provides real-time HD to SD downscaling so that you can monitor or record an SD master of your HD project in real-time. Proper conversion of the HD color space to the SD color space and proper aspect ratio conversion to anamorphic, letterbox, and center cut are supported. SD to HD upscaling Matrox MXO2 provides real-time SD to HD upscaling with proper conversion of the SD color space to the HD color space. Cross conversion Matrox MXO2 offers real-time cross conversions from 720 to 1080 and 1080 to 720. Real-time frame rate conversion is also supported with the following cadences - 2:3:2:3, 2:3:3:2, and 2:2:2:4. This feature is useful if, for example, your source material is recorded at a different frame rate or resolution than the delivery format your client requires. It also facilitates monitoring when, for example, you need to work with 23.98 fps footage but your monitor does not support that frame rate. You can use MXO2’s real-time frame rate conversion to view your project at 29.97 fps. Hardware acceleration of Final Cut Pro Dynamic RT segments to original frame size In Dynamic RT editing mode, Final Cut Pro automatically reduces frame size to let you preview non-real-time segments of your project at a better frame rate. With the MXO2 hardware upscaler, these segments are accelerated to their original frame size saving processing power for other Final Cut Pro operations, so you get better real-time performance.

I was impressed that Safe Harbor had this item, which Amazon.com did not. In fact, I checked a number of sources for this item and found that Safe Harbor not only had it, they had it at a lower price than any of their competitors who did stock it. - Nathan
