Hd-sdi (slot) modification - home repair 101

[Johnny Friday]

So looking at it so far...yes see where you can use the second DVI port or display port out....I've not seen this PDF from Matrox---so new to me. But wondering if you then loose out on 10bit processing---i suspect so if out DVI---but wondering on Display port if you get 10bit--can't recall if display port outputs 10bit and if you get it with this config. Then....(i use it a LOT).....the MAX technology....is that in the box....and can one still get that out of the Matrox without the PCIE device? Wow...if this all works and you can get 10bit and MAX....hell, a freed up PCIE slot---now i can insall a second graphics card and run Resolve!
.....have to read on and verify more now.

Yeah, definitely worth looking into. I couldn't find anything specific about 10-bit or MAX. I think MAX is just on the MXO2 product line.

Here's the full product page link:

Well....at very least works great in the field in my case on my macbook pro....there was no way i was taking it in the field with the express card adapter etc....now just the box.

But you have to have the Matrox Pcie device installed...

Pcie card or express34 adapter needed for the MXO2, not the MXO, which just needs the DVI or MiniDisplay port

 

[Johnny Friday]

Ah....i have MXO2LE w/max BUT sounds like you can still run out via display port or dvi to MXO2LE

I think the card is needed with the MXO2LE which is what we have Johnny...I've got my Rocket installed now, I have a Sata card, MXO2LE with max card, the Rocket and just had room for the SD-HDI plate also. I had to take out a Firewire 400 PCIE adapter I had in there.

Rocket sure is nice, amazing and so fast...So glad I bought it now. Didn't realize how much speed it would really give me.

Yeah....i think so. but should work with a macbook pro on the road which is nice. I have a similar setup to yours....estata, rr card, matrox and my graphics card. No more space left
