Montreal, Canada \u2013 December 1, 2010 \u2013 Matrox\u00ae Video Products Group today announced the immediate availability of release 2.1 software for the Matrox MXO2 family of I\/O devices for Mac.

Matrox Vetura Capture lets users quickly and easily capture QuickTime files using popular codecs installed on their editing systems. Users of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 can capture to the Matrox MPEG2 I-frame full raster (1920 x 1080) HD codec or to other popular Adobe-supported codecs. Users of Final Cut Pro can capture to ProRes and other popular Final Cut Pro codecs. Users of Avid Media Composer can capture directly to Avid DNxHD .mov files or other popular Avid-supported codecs.<\/p>\n
\u201cMedia Composer users in network environments will appreciate how the Vetura Capture and Playback applications allow the use of Matrox MXO2 LE, MXO2 and MXO2 Rack on SDI ingest and playout stations,\u201d said Wayne Andrews, Matrox product manager.
