("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.

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. If
Matrox cannot lawfully disclaim statutory or implied warranties, then to the extent permitted by law, all such
warranties shall be limited in duration to the duration of this express warranty and to repair or replacement
service as determined by Matrox at its sole discretion.

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

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.

Remarks
• Matrox Mtx.utils Setup installs software for Matrox Mojito MAX as well as
the Matrox CompressHD card. You can therefore use your Matrox Mojito
MAX hardware with CompressHD. For details on installing CompressHD,
see your Matrox CompressHD Installation and User Guide.
• If you want to use a Matrox Convert DVI product with Mojito MAX on the
same system, you must install Matrox MtxConvert.utils instead of Matrox
Mtx.utils. Matrox MtxConvert.utils is available in the “Downloads” section
of the Matrox Support website under “Combo Software” for your Convert
DVI product.
Updating your Mojito MAX firmware
When you install Matrox Mtx.utils on a computer that has the Mojito MAX card

your Mojito MAX card and updates it if required. If you install Mtx.utils on a
computer without the Mojito MAX card, the next time you start your computer
Installing your Matrox Mojito MAX card
8
with Mojito MAX installed, Mtx.utils Setup will update your Mojito MAX card’s
firmware if needed.
²Caution Do not power off your computer, or interrupt the firmware update
during the update process. Doing so may damage your Mojito MAX card.
Installing the Matrox effect patterns
The Matrox plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro includes Matrox wipes that you can
apply to clips in your Matrox projects as explained in Chapter 6, “Setting Up
Matrox Effects with Adobe Premiere Pro.” In order to apply the Matrox wipes,
you must install Matrox Mtx.utils as well as the Matrox effect patterns (GFX)
files. The Matrox effect patterns are available for download with Matrox Mojito
MAX software releases that support Adobe Premiere Pro in the Mojito MAX
Support section of our website at www.matrox.com/video/support.
Installing additional Matrox WYSIWYG plug-ins
or removing unneeded plug-ins
When you install Matrox Mtx.utils, you are prompted to install the Matrox
WYSIWYG plug-ins for any supported programs that are currently installed on
your system. If after you’ve installed Matrox Mtx.utils you want to install
additional Matrox WYSIWYG plug-ins, or re-install or remove a currently
installed plug-in, you can update your system by choosing
You’ll be prompted to specify which plug-ins you want to install, re-install, or
remove. For more information about the programs supported and required
settings, see Chapter 10, “Using the Matrox WYSIWYG Plug-ins.”
Start > All
¦NoteTo install the Matrox WYSIWYG plug-in for a program, you must first
install that program.
Installing the Matrox VFW software codecs on
a system without the Mojito MAX hardware
The Matrox Video for Windows (VFW) software codecs let you render and play
back Matrox .avi files in your VFW programs without having to install Matrox
Mtx.utils and the Matrox Mojito MAX hardware. This flexibility allows you to
use a remote editing workstation to create a rough cut of your project, and then
copy the project and assets to your Mojito MAX system to finish the job.
¦NoteIf you’ve installed Matrox Mtx.utils, you do not need to install the
Matrox VFW software codecs because Matrox Mtx.utils installs all the Matrox
codecs on your system.
Chapter 2, Installing Your Matrox Mojito MAX Hardware and Software
The Matrox VFW software codecs are available for download in the
“Downloads” section of the Matrox Support website at
www.matrox.com/video/support.
Updating your display card’s drivers
For the best performance when using your Mojito MAX system with Adobe
Premiere Pro, you should update the drivers for your display card with the latest
drivers available from your display card’s manufacturer. For example, if you’re
using Adobe Premiere Pro with a supported NVIDIA display card for GPU
acceleration, it’s recommended that you update your system with the latest
drivers for your card from NVIDIA.
¡ Important If you’re using Matrox Mojito MAX with Avid editing software,
you must use an Avid-certified system with a specific display card and driver as
listed in the System Recommendations section of the Matrox Mojito MAX
Support section of our website at www.matrox.com/video/support.

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.
22
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
Chapter 4, Calibrating Your HDMI Monitor for Video
Matrox WYSIWYG Control Panel, see “Configuring the Matrox WYSIWYG
Control Panel” on page 168.
¡ Important When running the Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility, make sure
that you don’t run any other application that uses your Matrox Mojito MAX
hardware, such as Matrox A/V Tools, or another application that displays Matrox
WYSIWYG output.
°To run the Matrox HDMI Calibration Utility:

Enabling and disabling the Matrox HDMI
calibration settings
The HDMI calibration settings that are loaded for your system (see “Loading
Matrox HDMI calibration settings” on page 24) can be enabled or disabled.
When using a program that supports Matrox Mojito MAX video output, you can
configure the Matrox video output settings for that program to enable or disable
the loaded HDMI calibration settings. For example, you can configure the Mojito
MAX video output settings that you want to use with Matrox A/V Tools as
explained in “Specifying your video output settings” on page 144.
When you set the HDMI video output to
output from the Mojito MAX HDMI output will have the color settings that are
saved in the currently loaded calibration file. This is used when you want to
monitor video on your RGB HDMI monitor.
To disable the loaded calibration settings and output HDMI video from Mojito
MAX with its native color settings, set the HDMI video output to

Notes about capturing to Matrox .m2v files
When capturing to Matrox .m2v files, keep the following points in mind:
• Automatic scene detection (Scene Detect) is not supported, but batch capture
is supported.
• An associated .xmp metadata file is created for all captured and logged
(offline) .m2v clips. These files are created in your specified video capture
folder, and contain time code and other information that you provided for
your .m2v clips, such as tape name, description, and scene. You can open the
.xmp files in Adobe Bridge. Take care not to delete the .xmp files and always
keep them with their associated .m2v files. Otherwise, you won’t be able to
batch capture logged .m2v clips, and the time code information won’t appear
for your .m2v clips in the

¦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:
$ RegularSets the regular (default) zig zag scanning pattern of the AC
coefficient of the DCT block as defined in the ISO/IEC 13818-2 (figure

IBP compression.
°To select your MPEG-2 IBP settings:
1 Click the Configure button. This displays a dialog box similar to the
following:
53
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
54
• 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.
61
Setting up Matrox device control
62
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:
$ LTCLongitudinal 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,
or
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 EditSelect 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,
63
Setting up Matrox device control
64
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.

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

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
69
Exporting your sequence to tape
70
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.

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

•
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

$ 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.
