The new MXO looks amazing and definitely has some very generous upgrades.

I'll definitely be looking hard at one of these.

Must buy, definetly. Gives AJA's IOHD a run for its money, and a lot less expensive. Ideal for low budget productions!

Yeah, I definitely give this the edge (for me) over an ioHD or a Kona card. This gives me the I/O and allows for the calibration of consumer displays. To get that with the AJA or Blackmagic products, you'd have to add a Blackmagic HDLink for another $500.

I will definitely swap my MXO to MXO2

Saw it today. Seems like it will be nice (just a box with connections for now, not hooked to anything). Not all that portable as opposed to the original MXO size wise.

Technology moving forward...

Guys, can anybody check this out alive for us?

I liked the specs a lot. I almost bought a MXO last week (ouch!), since i need a monitoring solution for my laptop.

The only difference i see on the MXO (comparing to its new brother) is that it has a DVI output. Matrox still list both of the models. So is Matrox betting on HDMI output to a LCD TV display as a cheap monitoring solution? MXO1 (let's call it this way) has LUTs for ACD Dell etc... how can we expect to get the same excelent results from a LCD (TV) display?

If someone can ask these questions it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Eduardo Serrano.

This sounds like an excellent question for Shane Ross, the expert around here on the MXO [1] as a monitoring solution for HD. I know I get good results using the original MXO with a 23" ACD to monitor HD in FCS.

yeah, and he is working on the Matrox booth. So can anyone over NAB annoy Shane just a bit and ask this? He wrote on twitter he was going to blog about it...

Can this be used to capture 4:2:2 through hdmi from an HV20 for example?
