Matrox Limited Warranty

Limited Warranty Statement

1 Matrox

("Matrox") having its head office at 1055 St-Regis Blvd., Dorval, Quebec Canada tel: (514) 822-6000 warrants that the Matrox hardware products (the "Matrox Product") will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of three (3) years from the date of purchase by the original customer ("Customer" or "You") who provides adequate proof of purchase and payment (for example, a copy of your sales receipt or purchase invoice). The warranties provided by Matrox in this Matrox limited warranty statement apply only to Matrox Products that the Customer purchases for use, and not for resale. This warranty applies only to the original Customer and is non-transferable. MATROX DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE MATROX PRODUCT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS IN THE MATROX PRODUCT WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE MATROX PRODUCT WILL MEET THE CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENTS OR PERFORM WITH ANY HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES. Conditions and limitations of Matrox's warranty are stated below.

2 Matrox's limited warranty applies only to the Matrox Product entirely manufactured by or for Matrox. The limited

warranty does not apply to any non-Matrox hardware products or any software, even if packaged or sold with the Matrox Product. Manufacturers, suppliers or publishers other than Matrox may provide their own warranties to the Customer, but Matrox, insofar as permitted by law, provides their products "as is." Software provided by Matrox is not covered under this limited warranty (please refer to the licensing agreement accompanying the software for details of the terms applicable to such).

3 Matrox's limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a result of normal use of the Matrox Product

and does not apply to any damage which arises from:

a improper or inadequate maintenance;

b incompatibilities due to the Customer's hardware or software applications, including non-Matrox products,

with or in which the Matrox Product interfaces;

c Matrox Product of a special or custom-made nature;

d unauthorized modification or misuse, including physical damage to the Matrox Product caused by the

Customer or due to transportation of the product;

e improper installation, abuse, misapplication or negligence;

f failure to follow instructions relating to Matrox Product's use;

g operation outside the Matrox Product's environmental specifications;

h improper site preparation or maintenance;

i software;

j service performed by anyone who is not a representative of Matrox;

k other causes that do not relate to a Matrox Product defect;

l defects or damage suffered as a result of force majeure (including theft);

m defects or damage suffered as a result of normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the

Matrox Product, and/or

n stolen goods.

The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the Matrox Product or its parts.

4 In the event of a defect in a Matrox Product during the applicable warranty period, Matrox shall at its sole option,

either i) repair the defect using new or refurbished parts and return the repaired Matrox Product within a reasonable delay; or ii) replace the Matrox Product with a Matrox Product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original Matrox Product and send such replacement Matrox Product within a reasonable delay.

Matrox is Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd, Matrox Graphics Inc. or Matrox Europe Limited. Head office at 1055 St-Regis Blvd. Dorval, Quebec, Canada H9P 2T4 Telephone (514) 822-6000.

Matrox Limited Warranty

5 A replacement Matrox Product or part assumes the remaining warranty of the original Matrox Product.

When a Matrox Product or part is replaced, any replacement item becomes the Customer's property and the replaced item becomes Matrox's property.

6 This warranty is valid in any country where Matrox Products are distributed by Matrox and/or its authorized

resellers, dealers or distributors.

7 This limited warranty gives the Customer specific legal rights. The Customer may also have other

rights which vary from state to state in the United States, from province to province in Canada, and from country to country elsewhere in the world.

8 For Australian Consumers: The rights described in this warranty are in addition to the statutory rights to

which You may be entitled under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and other applicable Australian consumer protection laws and regulations. Our Matrox Products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods.

purchases the Matrox Product, this limited warranty shall be deemed modified to be consistent with such local law. Under such local law, certain limitations of this limited warranty may not apply to the consumer.

Last-minute information

Any important information that wasn’t available for inclusion in this manual by publication time is provided to you in the Matrox Mojito MAX Release Notes.

Chapter 1, Introducing Matrox Mojito MAX

Installing Your Matrox Mojito MAX

Hardware and Software

This chapter explains how to install the Matrox Mojito MAX hardware and software.

Installing multiple Matrox Mojito MAX cards

You can choose to install multiple Matrox Mojito MAX cards to feed live video and audio to Telestream Wirecast for streaming and recording (see Chapter 14,

“Using Matrox Mojito MAX with Telestream Wirecast”). All other applications

used with your Matrox Mojito MAX hardware, such as Matrox A/V Tools and editing applications, support only one Matrox I/O device. If you have multiple Matrox I/O devices, you can use Matrox X.info to select the primary device that you want to use with these applications as explained in “Selecting your primary

Matrox I/O device” on page 247.

Before you install your Matrox Mojito MAX hardware

Read the following information carefully before attempting to install Matrox Mojito MAX hardware.

Start with a functioning system

Before attempting any Matrox Mojito MAX installation, you should have a computer with a supported Windows operating system fully installed and functioning smoothly. This will avoid potential problems later on.

Avoid costly damage

Static electricity from your body can damage your Matrox Mojito MAX card or your computer. Although you may not notice it, static electricity is generated every time you move. It’s often too small to cause a spark, but it can still cause damage to sensitive electronic components or at least reduce their life span.

To avoid damage, please observe the following precautions:

• Do not remove your Matrox Mojito MAX card from its antistatic bag until you’re ready to install it. Before removing the card, place the package within easy reach of the area where you intend to perform the installation.

• You should avoid touching the chips and other components on the circuit board. Try to handle the card by its edges.

• Try to work in an area where the relative humidity is at least 50%.

• Do not wear wool or synthetic clothing. These fabrics tend to generate more static electricity than cotton, which is best for this kind of work.

• Turn off the power switches on your computer and its connected components.

Once you’ve opened your computer, drain static electricity from your body by touching a bare metal surface on your computer chassis before you install or remove any parts of your system. If you have a grounding wrist strap, use it while handling and installing any components in your computer.

Chapter 2, Installing Your Matrox Mojito MAX Hardware and Software

Installing your Matrox Mojito MAX card

The Matrox Mojito MAX card is a three-quarter-length PCIe x1 card designed to operate in a PCIe slot in your computer. For detailed instructions on how to perform the following steps, refer to your computer’s documentation.

1 Shut down your system, unplug the power cord and all the cables from the

unit, and open your computer’s chassis.

2 Insert the Matrox Mojito MAX card in an available PCIe slot in your

computer, and secure the card into place.

²Caution To avoid overheating issues, don’t install the Mojito MAX card

close to another card that generates heat, such as a display card.

3 Close your computer’s chassis, and reconnect the power cord and all the

cables to the unit.

Installing Matrox Mtx.utils

Matrox Mtx.utils Setup installs the Mojito MAX device drivers, and all the software required to use your Mojito MAX hardware with supported programs. Before installing Matrox Mtx.utils, make sure that you’ve installed the third-party software that you’ll be using with Mojito MAX.

Calibrating Your HDMI Monitor

for Video

This chapter explains how to use the Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility to calibrate your RGB HDMI monitor for video.

Overview

¦NoteTo ensure that the Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility displays correctly,

The Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility is a unique tool designed to calibrate your RGB HDMI monitor or television so that it performs like a traditional broadcast video monitor. This utility provides a wizard that walks you through the calibration process using specially designed patterns to effectively identify and compensate for the processing errors that may be present in your HDMI monitor. The Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility calibrates your monitor’s black and white levels, white point, gamma response, and hue and chroma.

This utility is optimized for calibrating HDMI LCD/LED monitors or televisions that support 1:1 pixel mapping, which allows you to view the output on your HDMI monitor at its exact resolution without any scaling. Although instructions are provided for calibrating plasma HDMI monitors, and HDMI monitors that do not support 1:1 pixel mapping, a blue-only filter will be required for the color calibration (hue and chroma). Some HDMI monitors feature a built-in blue-only mode that you can use for color calibration. If your HDMI monitor does not have a built-in blue-only mode, you can use a proper third-party blue-only filter (for example, a blue gel filter, or blue-only calibration glasses) that completely blocks out all colors except for blue. Because some blue-only filters do not block out colors effectively, the Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility includes a blue-only filter test that you can use to determine if your blue-only filter is adequate for color calibration.

your computer screen’s resolution must be 1280×800 or higher, and the Windows DPI scaling option for text must be set to the default size. For details on how to change your screen resolution and DPI scaling setting for text, see your Windows documentation.

Calibrating your HDMI monitor

The Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility provides on-screen instructions to calibrate your HDMI monitor. At the end of the calibration process, you must save your calibration settings to a file. Once saved, the calibration settings are automatically loaded as your system’s current calibration settings. If you’re calibrating more than one HDMI monitor, you can calibrate and save settings for each monitor and load the corresponding settings at any time (see “Loading

Matrox HDMI calibration settings” on page 24). You can later choose to enable

or disable the loaded calibration settings (see “Enabling and disabling the Matrox

HDMI calibration settings” on page 24).

The Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility uses the Matrox WYSIWYG Control Panel to display the specially designed patterns that are required to calibrate your HDMI monitor. Therefore, you’ll need to configure your Matrox WYSIWYG output settings as explained in this section. For more information about using the

Selecting your MPEG-2 I-frame settings

When using the Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame or Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame HD codec to capture or render video, you can specify various settings for the MPEG-2 I-frame compression.

°To select your MPEG-2 I-frame settings:

1 Click the Configure button. This displays a dialog box similar to the

following:

2 Drag the Data Rate slider until your desired data rate is displayed. The

higher the data rate you select, the better the video quality will be. The range of available data rates depends on whether you’re using the Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame HD or SD format.

¡ Important Depending on the capabilities of your system, you may drop

frames if you select a data rate higher than 125 Mb/sec.

3 To apply advanced settings to your MPEG-2 I-frame file, click the

Advanced button.

¦NoteThe default advanced settings should provide good results for most

applications. We recommend that you change these settings only when needed for special purposes.

4 Under Rounding Type, select one of the following:

$ MPEG-2 Rounds the AC coefficients up to the nearest whole number

when calculating the quantization coefficient.

$ Matrox Custom Truncates the AC coefficients to the lowest whole

number when calculating the quantization coefficient. In some cases, this setting may yield less artifacts in graphics.

5 Under DC Precision, select the bit-depth precision of the DC intra block.

Selecting your MPEG-2 I-frame settings

¦NoteThe higher the DC precision value that’s used to capture or render

your video, the more likely that the DC content will be increased at the expense of the AC content in the encoded stream. This may result in lowering the overall quality of the compressed stream at a specified data rate.

6 Under Zig Zag Type, select one of the following:

$ Regular Sets the regular (default) zig zag scanning pattern of the AC

coefficient of the DCT block as defined in the ISO/IEC 13818-2 (figure 7-2) specification documentation.

$ Alternate Sets an alternate zig zag scanning pattern of the AC

coefficient of the DCT block as defined in the ISO/IEC 13818-2 (figure 7-3) specification documentation. Use this setting when capturing or rendering video at a high data rate (that is, at a data rate of about 50 Mb/sec for SD video, or 100 Mb/sec or higher for HD video).

7 Select the Force Frame-based DCT setting to render macroblocks as

frames rather than as fields. In some cases, graphics will yield less artifacts if this option is selected.

8 Click OK to save your settings.

Chapter 5, Using Matrox Mojito MAX with Adobe Premiere Pro

Selecting your MPEG-2 IBP settings

When capturing video to a Matrox .m2v file using Adobe Premiere Pro, the codec is set to Matrox MPEG-2 IBP. You can specify various settings for the MPEG-2 IBP compression.

°To select your MPEG-2 IBP settings:

1 Click the Configure button. This displays a dialog box similar to the

following:

2 Under Data Rate (Mb/sec), you can select the encoding type and data rate

for the MPEG-2 IBP compression.

$ Encoding type From this list, select one of the following:

• Constant bit rate (CBR) Video is compressed at your selected

target data rate, which is useful when you need to limit or predict the size of your .m2v file. However, if your video is very complex (such as scenes with many colors or sharp edges), you’ll need to select a high data rate to avoid having frames of very blocky video in your file.

Selecting your MPEG-2 IBP settings

• Variable bit rate (VBR) Video is compressed at varying data rates

based on the complexity of the video. The target data rate you select is used as the average data rate for the compression.

$ Min, Ta r ge t , and Max sliders Use these sliders to select your desired

data rate. The higher the target data rate you select, the better the video quality will be. Only the

Ta r ge t slider will be available if you selected

Constant bit rate (CBR). If you selected Variable bit rate (VBR), all

three sliders will be available so that you can set the minimum, target, and maximum data rates for the video compression.

¦NoteAdobe Encore requires CBR-encoded .m2v files longer than about two

minutes to be transcoded. VBR-encoded .m2v files do not require transcoding in Adobe Encore.

3 Under GOP Structure, you can customize the GOP structure for the

MPEG-2 IBP compression as follows:

$ GOP length Determines the number of frames in the GOP (Group of

Pictures).

$ Subgroup length Determines the subgroup length of B-frames and

P-frames in the GOP, after the initial I-frame. For example, a subgroup of 3 appears as “BBP,” and a subgroup of 2 appears as “BP.” The available subgroup lengths depend on your selected GOP length.

4 Under Profile, select one of the following MPEG-2 profiles:

$ 4:2:0 This profile uses 4:2:0 luminance/chrominance sampling and is

suitable for broadcast transmission and distribution on DVD. You must select this profile if you’re capturing to an .m2v file for DVD authoring.

$ 4:2:2 This profile uses 4:2:2 luminance/chrominance sampling and is

suitable for high-quality distribution and archiving.

5 Under Motion Estimation, drag the slider to adjust the quality of the

motion estimation used for the video compression. The default setting gives good results for most video. However, if you have a lot of fast motion in your video, such as fast-paced sports footage, you can get better results by dragging the slider to the right (towards

Slow/High quality). This improves

the quality of the motion estimation, but decreases the speed of the video compression. Alternately, if you have mostly slow-paced video, you may want to drag the slider to the left (towards

Fast/Low quality) to decrease

the quality of the motion estimation and speed up the video compression.

6 Click OK to save your settings.

Setting up Matrox device control

Matrox device control lets you control any device that supports the RS-422 SMPTE time code protocol when capturing or exporting material to tape in Adobe Premiere Pro. To use this device control, you must connect the RS-422 connector on the Mojito MAX I/O cable to the RS-422 serial device control port on your source device or recorder (see “Mojito MAX RS-422 serial connection” on page 15).

°To configure your Matrox device control settings:

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Device Control.

2 From the Devices list, select Matrox RS-422 Device Control.

Setting up Matrox device control

3 Click Options to display the following dialog box:

4 From the Port list, select Matrox RS-422

5 From the Time Source list, select the time source to be used for controlling

your device:

$ LTC Longitudinal Time Code recorded on a track adjacent to the video

(this is the default time source). This type of time code can be read at all tape speeds, except still.

$ VITC Vertical Interval Time Code that is recorded onto the vertical

blanking interval of the video. This type of time code can be read whenever an image is displayed, but not usually during high-speed operation.

$ LTC+VITC Select this if you want your device to decide which type of

time code to use in different operational modes (recommended only if you’re sure that the two types of time code match on your tape).

$ Control Track Select this if you want to use only your tape’s control

track as the time source. Because using the control track is not as reliable as LTC or VITC for device control, you should select this option only if you’re having problems using the time code on your tape.

Chapter 5, Using Matrox Mojito MAX with Adobe Premiere Pro

6 From the Time Base list, select the time base that matches your tape, such as

30 fps Drop Frame if you’re using NTSC video with drop frame time code,

25 fps if you’re using PAL video.

7 Select Use VTR’s internal cue if the Matrox device control is having

problems cueing your VTR, such as when you cue to a specific In or Out point. Because using the VTR’s internal cueing method slows down the cueing, you should select this option only if you’re experiencing problems cueing to a time code when using Matrox device control.

8 Under Capture, use the Time Code Offset to specify the number of frames

to adjust the start time for capture, if needed. For example, if your captures are starting three frames too early (that is, three frames before your specified In point), enter a time code offset of 3. Alternately, if your captures are starting three frames too late, enter a time code offset of -3.

9 Under Export to Tape, you can specify various settings that enable you to

obtain a frame-accurate export to tape. For an example of how to calibrate your device for frame-accurate recording, see “Obtaining a frame-accurate

export to tape using Matrox device control” on page 68.

$ Device Edit Mode Select one of the following modes to specify the

editing capabilities of your recorder:

• Auto Edit Select this if your recorder supports edit commands and

has auto edit capabilities. Devices that support this mode perform frame-accurate recording. Therefore, you won’t need to make any adjustments to the Mark In and Out time code offsets, and those settings won’t be available.

• Basic Edit Select this if your recorder supports edit commands, but

does not have auto edit capabilities. When using this mode, you may need to adjust the Mark In time code offset, but the recording should be accurate at the Out point.

• Edit Not Supported Select this if your recorder doesn’t support any

edit commands. In this case, you will probably need to specify both a Mark In and a Mark Out time code offset.

¥Tip If you’re not sure if your device supports edit commands, try

performing an export to tape using the different edit modes, starting with

Auto Edit. If your device doesn’t support the selected edit mode, the

recording will either not start or nothing will get recorded on the tape.

$ Mark In/Out Time Code Offset These offsets specify the number of

frames to adjust the recording start and stop times if the recording doesn’t start at your specified In point and stop at your specified Out point on the tape. For example, if the recording starts three frames before the In point, set the

Mark In Time Code Offset to 3 (or -3 if the recording starts three

frames too late). You should adjust the Mark In time code offset first,

Setting up Matrox device control

because once this setting is accurate your device may also be accurate at the Out point.

$ Playback Offset Specifies the number of frames to offset the playback

of your sequence for export to tape. For example, if playback starts too late and you’re missing the first three frames of your sequence recorded on the tape, enter an offset of -3. Alternately, if playback starts too early and the first three frames of your sequence are repeated, enter an offset of

3. Before changing this offset, you must first make any required adjustments to the Mark In and Mark Out time code offsets.

10 Click OK to save your settings.

For details on capturing with device control, see your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation. For information about exporting your sequence to tape, see

“Exporting your sequence to tape” on page 65.

Requirements for using Matrox device control

When using Matrox device control, keep the following points in mind:

• You must set your device to Remote or VTR mode.

• When working with an analog RS-422 device, you must genlock to an external broadcast-quality analog sync source. If you’re using an SDI RS-422 device and you don’t have an external broadcast-quality analog sync source, you can genlock to your SDI video source for capture. For export to tape, you can set your genlock source to the Mojito MAX internal reference and configure the setting on your deck to genlock to the SDI video input. For details on how to set your genlock source, see “Specifying your genlock

settings for playback” on page 35 and “Specifying your genlock settings for capture” on page 48.

• You must stripe your tapes with continuous and consecutive time code. You can stripe your entire tape with time code by recording black video for the duration of the tape. Avoid having the time code counter reset to 00:00:00:00 during the striping.

• When capturing material, make sure that you don’t specify any preroll in the

Device Control section of the Settings pane. Instead, a preroll of about

five seconds will automatically be applied.

Chapter 5, Using Matrox Mojito MAX with Adobe Premiere Pro

Exporting your sequence to tape

To export your Adobe Premiere Pro sequence to tape without using device control, simply play back your sequence and record the output from any of the available outputs on your Mojito MAX system. If your recorder supports RS-422 device control, you can export your sequence to tape using Matrox device control as explained in “Exporting to tape using Matrox device control (CC)” on page 65 or “Exporting to tape using Matrox device control (CS6)” on page 66.

Avoiding issues when using Matrox device control

Keep the following points in mind when exporting to tape using Matrox device control:

• To avoid having discontinuous (broken) time code recorded onto your tape when using Matrox device control, set your recorder to generate time code internally based on time code already present on the tape (this setting is called INT REGEN on some devices). Don’t use free run or external time code regeneration mode.

• Because Matrox device control requires a preroll, don’t start the export to tape within the first ten seconds on your tape or at a time code less than 00:00:10:00.

• To avoid repeated frames or broken time code when performing an assemble edit using Matrox device control, add ten seconds or more of black video or color bars to the end of your sequence.

Exporting to tape using Matrox device control (CC)

¦NoteThis section applies to Adobe Premiere Pro CC only. If you’re using

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, see “Exporting to tape using Matrox device control

Obtaining a frame-accurate export to tape using Matrox device control

In order to obtain a frame-accurate export to tape when using Matrox device control, there are various settings that you may need to adjust in the

RS-422 Device Control Settings

• The

Mark In Time Code Offset and Mark Out Time Code Offset

determine when your device starts and stops recording on the tape. If the recording doesn’t start on the tape at your specified In point and stop at your

Chapter 5, Using Matrox Mojito MAX with Adobe Premiere Pro

dialog box:

Matrox

specified Out point, you can adjust these offsets so that the recording starts/stops earlier or later.

¦NoteAdjusting the Mark In and Out time code offsets won’t be required if

your recorder has auto edit capabilities and you set the edit mode for export to tape to

Auto Edit as explained in “Setting up Matrox device control” on

page 61.

• The

Playback Offset determines when your sequence starts playing back.

Depending on your system, you may need to adjust this offset so that your sequence starts playing back earlier or later.

Here’s an example of how to calibrate your RS-422 device for frame-accurate export to tape:

1 Stripe an NTSC tape with continuous and consecutive time code starting at

00:00:00:00.

2 Create a new Matrox NTSC sequence with a bars and tone clip at least ten

seconds long containing time code starting at 00:00:00:00. Make sure you place the clip at the start of your sequence.

¥Tip You can create a bars and tone clip by right-clicking in the Project

panel and choosing

New Item > Bars and Tone. You can add time code to

the clip by applying a Timecode effect as explained in your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation.

3 Set up Matrox device control with the Mark In Time Code Offset, Mark

Out Time Code Offset

, and Playback Offset for export to tape set to 0

(see “Setting up Matrox device control” on page 61).

4 Export your sequence to tape and set the In point for the recording to

00:00:10:00 and the Out point for the recording to 00:00:20:00 (see

“Exporting to tape using Matrox device control (CC)” on page 65).

5 When the export to tape is finished, play back your tape and check where the

recording started. For example, if the bars and tone clip started recording at 00:00:09:25 on your tape (five frames before your specified In point), then you need to set the

Mark In Time Code Offset to 5. Alternately, if the

recording started at 00:00:10:05 (five frames after your specified In point), then you need to set the

Mark In Time Code Offset to -5.

export to tape with the same settings (In point at 00:00:10:00 and Out point at 00:00:20:00.)

7 When the export to tape is finished, play back your tape and make sure that

your bars and tone clip stopped recording at 00:00:20:00 (the recording should have started at 00:00:10:00). For example, if the recording stopped at

Exporting your sequence to tape

00:00:19:25 (five frames before your specified Out point), then you need to set the

Mark Out Time Code Offset to 5.

8 Once you’ve made any required adjustments to the Mark In and Out time

code offsets and ensured that your bars and tone clip starts and stops recording at your specified In and Out points, perform another export to tape with the In point for the recording set to 00:00:30:00.

9 When the export to tape is finished, go to 00:00:30:00 on your tape, and

check which frame from your sequence has been recorded. You should see frame 00:00:00:00 from your bars and tone clip at 00:00:30:00 on your tape, with no repeated frames. For example, if frame 00:00:00:00 has been repeated for the next five frames, then your sequence started playing back five frames too early and you need to set the

Playback Offset to 5.

Alternately, if you see frame 00:00:00:05 from your bars and tone clip recorded at 00:00:30:00, then the sequence playback started five frames too late and you need to set the

Playback Offset to -5.

Setting Up Matrox Effects with Adobe

Premiere Pro

This chapter explains how to set up Matrox effects such as color corrections and wipes using the Matrox plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro.

Available effects

The Matrox plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro lets you set up the following Matrox effects in your Adobe Premiere Pro projects

• Color corrections.

• Chroma key and luma key effects.

• Chroma clamper effect.

•Wipes.

When you install Matrox Mtx.utils, all the Matrox effects are added to Adobe Premiere Pro. You set up Matrox effects in your projects the same way as other effects included with your Adobe software. For example, you apply a Matrox wipe to your clips in Adobe Premiere Pro just as you would any other type of transition, except that the controls provided let you create a Matrox wipe, as explained in this chapter. For instructions on setting up Adobe Premiere Pro effects and transitions, refer to your Adobe documentation.

¥Tip You can filter the Effects panel to show only the effects and transitions that

are accelerated by your Matrox hardware by clicking the button at the top of the

Effects panel.

The Matrox color correction, chroma key, luma key, and chroma clamper effects are also available in Adobe After Effects.

Applying a mask to your Matrox effects

The Matrox color correction, chroma key, and luma key effects allow you to add a mask to define the area where you want to apply your effect. For example, you may want to apply a color correction to only one area of your clip and leave the rest of the clip untouched.

°To adjust the mask properties:

Click the triangle next to Mask to expand the property list.

The properties under

Mask let you control the area on the clip where you want to

apply the mask. You can enter the values you want in the text boxes or drag the appropriate sliders (

•

Left Adjusts the left edge of your mask.

•

Right Adjusts the right edge of your mask.

Left, Right, To p , and Bottom).

• To p Adjusts the top edge of your mask.

•

Bottom Adjusts the bottom edge of your mask.

•

Select Mask Displays a dialog box in which you can apply your mask

settings (see “Using Select Mask” on page 75).

•

Invert Inverts the mask so that your effect is applied outside the mask,

instead of within the mask.

You can resize the mask area by dragging any side of the rectangle. For example, dragging the right side of the rectangle adjusts the right edge of the mask area. To resize the entire mask area at once, drag one of the corners (the corner that’s diagonally opposite the corner you are moving will remain stationary).

•Use the

Left, Right, To p, and Bottom controls to adjust any edge of your

mask by a given number of pixels. You can enter values in the text boxes or drag the sliders to resize your mask area. For example, drag the

Left slider to

adjust the left edge of your mask area.

Applying a mask to your Matrox effects

Creating a Matrox primary color correction

Color correction is important for all productions, whether you want to achieve continuity when cutting between shots, ensure broadcast safe levels, or establish and emphasize a “look.” Matrox color correction provides basic proc amp control, three-way color correction complete with master, shadows, midtones, and highlights control, and input and output level control. You can also easily match colors with a reference shot. For more information about color matching, see “Matching colors between two clips” on page 87.

¥Tip Adobe Premiere Pro includes a workspace setup that is optimized for

working with clips and effects to facilitate color correction. To prepare your workspace for color correction, choose

Correction

°To set up a Matrox primary color correction:

Click the triangle next to Matrox Color Correction (Primary) or Matrox Color

Correction (Primary - Advanced)

Window > Workspace > Color

to expand the property list.

¦NoteThe RGB Curves and Ton a l R a n g e settings are available only with the

advanced versions of the Matrox primary and secondary color correction effects. Because the advanced versions of these effects require additional system resources, you should apply them only if you want to use the

Tonal Range settings.

•

Enable Split View Select this option to split your clip into two sections in

RGB Curves or

the Program Monitor and on your video monitor. One section will display your clip as you adjust the color correction controls, and the other section of

Chapter 6, Setting Up Matrox Effects with Adobe Premiere Pro

the clip will remain unchanged. For more information, see “Using Split

View” on page 78.

¡ Important This option is for preview only. You should clear it before you

render your clip, otherwise the split will appear in your video output.

•

Proc Amps The processing amplifier (proc amp) controls allow you to

adjust different aspects of your clip:

$ Hue Adjusts the tint of the colors in the image.

$ Saturation Adjusts the saturation (vividness) of the image’s colors.

$ Contrast Adjusts the difference in luminance between the lightest and

darkest areas of the image.

$ Brightness Adjusts the level of black in the image.

•

RGB Curves Lets you use curves to adjust the red, green, and blue color

channels of your clip individually, or use a master curve to adjust all color channels simultaneously. For more information, see “Using RGB curves” on page 80.

•

Color Balance These controls let you adjust the mixture of colors in your

clip.

$ Tonal Range Allows you to fine-tune the tonal ranges of your clip by

reducing the range of pixels included for shadows, midtones, or highlights. For more information, see “Adjusting tonal range” on page 82.

$ Graphical Allows you to see a graphical representation of your changes

when you adjust the color balance settings. You can also modify most of the color balance

settings directly within the graph. For more information,

see “Using the color balance graph” on page 83.

$ Numerical Lets you adjust your color balance settings numerically by

entering values in the text boxes, or by dragging the corresponding sliders. You can adjust the

Hue, Saturation, and Luminance for each tonal

range.

• Master (Hue, Saturation, and Luminance) Affects all areas of

your clip from the lightest white to the darkest black.

• Shadows (Hue, Saturation, and Luminance) Affects the darkest

areas of your clip.

• Midtones (Hue, Saturation, and Luminance) Affects the areas

with tones between the darkest and lightest areas of your clip.

• Highlights (Hue, Saturation, and Luminance) Affects the lightest

areas of your clip.

•

Luma Mapping

$ Graphical Allows you to see a graphical representation of your changes

when you adjust the luma mapping settings. You can also modify the

Creating a Matrox primary color correction

luminance of your clip directly within the graph. For more information, see “Using the luma mapping graph” on page 89.

$ Numerical Lets you adjust the luma mapping settings numerically by

entering values in the text boxes, or by dragging the corresponding sliders.

• Input Levels (Black and White) These controls let you fine-tune

your clip’s brightness and contrast by changing the luminance value that represents black, white, or gray. Doing so expands or compresses the range of luminance levels in your clip, which increases or decreases your clip’s tonal range.

For example, by increasing the black value, you set black in your clip to a higher luminance value, which compresses the luminance range and darkens your clip proportionally.

• Output Levels (Black and White) These controls let you map the

values under

Input Levels to any level of black and white. You can

reduce contrast in your clip, or reverse the luminosity of your clip by setting black to a higher value than white.

• Gamma Use this to adjust the midtones in your clip without

adjusting black or white.

•

Mask Allows you to apply a mask to your effect. For more information,

see “Applying a mask to your Matrox effects” on page 74.

Using Split View

The Split View option allows you to split your clip in two for preview on your Program Monitor and your video monitor. One section displays your clip as you adjust the color correction controls, while the other section of the clip remains unchanged.

There are two ways to enable Split View. You can select the option in the Program Monitor
