VJ Video Review: Uncompressed HD Mixing with Matrox MXO2 Mini and Laptops
Reference 2009/12/29 10:08Matrox MXO2-Mini review for VJs. Uncompressed HD mixing laptop to laptop. from vade on Vimeo.
Enough of low-resolution hardware mixing. Our friend Anton aka vade has dreamed for some time of doing full, uncompressed HD mixing of two laptops. And he means laptops — not luggable towers or anything like that.
It’s a common enough scenario. These days, most visualists practice their art on computers. To collaborate, that means mixing those visuals together. But by the time you plug in an Edirol V-4 or even our beloved Vixid – love that hardware as we do – you lose a significant amount of resolution. For some material, that’s fine, and we’re all for limitations. But depending on the source, it can be disastrous.
Enter the Matrox MXO2-Mini. It works on Windows and Mac. (No Linux as near as I can tell.) It plugs into laptops with ExpressCard. It doesn’t cost a fortune. If you’ve already got two laptops, it can bring them together affordably and effectively.
So… does it actually work? Here are Anton’s thoughts so far:
