MXO2 - Mini - RGB input from DVI sources with converter

[vade]

Hello

I have a few questions regarding the MXO2-Mini:

Does the mini use a standard quicktime capture component, so software that leverages quicktime can see an ingest from it? I am interested in using the MXO2-Mini for realtime video mixing (not necessarily Final Cut Pro and similar post production software), and would like to be able to sample DVI sources using a simple lossless DVI-D to HDMI converter cable.

The only 'gotcha' with this scenario is that DVI video is typically RGB, and I cannot tell from the spec sheet if the MXO2-Mini supports HDMI 1.3 which should mean RGB is doable. The spec sheet mentions 10 bit HDMi capture which I think is only available in HDMi 1.3, but I figure I ought to ask

So in short, do you support DVI sources using an HDMI conversion cable?

Also, the spec sheet also does not specify whether or not the MXO2-Mini supports progressive 1080p or interlaced 1080i. Im very curious about this.

Thank you very much, the Mini looks like the perfect solution for capturing computer sources and mixing them on the go, I hope it supports these features!

Hello,

We appreciate your interest in the MXO2 Mini.

Hello

Any word on DVI capture? Im not sure where to look for the updated information, and I dont see anything on the MXO product page.

My direct email contact is vade [at] vade [dot] info.

Thank you very much!

The information you are asking for is not on our website nor datasheets at this point in time. However please note that The MXO2 Mini supports RGB as well as YUV input via it's HDMI at 1920x1080. So if your DVI source can output a signal at 1920x1080 then you could use a DVI-to-HDMI converter and use the MXO2 Mini for DVI RGB capture.

Hope this helps,

Best regards,
B.C.
