[quote="autumn"]I can't answer the hardware compatiblity issue, but will comment on the monitor setup. If purchasing the "full" RT.X2 card (not LE) with the DVI output, you can use 1920x1200 LCD monitors like your Dell for editing/color grading. With CS4, Matrox offers a calibration utility with color bars which will enable you to get accurate color from an inexpensive 24" LCD. Matrox downgrades the Premiere preview window, so you will NOT want to use the Premiere output from graphics display card for preview, use Matrox through the DVI or Component HD analog out from Matrox breakout box. Through Matrox, you WILL get full 1920x1080, full frame-rate video output while capturing, editing and previewing effects. Safe Harbor provides a free 4-hour RT.X2 training video with RT.X2 card purchase Thank you Jeff Pulera Safe Harbor Computers www.sharbor.com [quote="b19"]Hi all, we are finalizing our HD editing system build and we are currently looking at a Matrox RT.X2 card but have some questions regarding compatibility becasue based on what the site shows currently, our components are not on there but thought I would ask. Here are the "main" three: -ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer LGA 1366 Intel X58 -Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz LGA 1366 -Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 The last item is really about our third monitor (reference) setup. Our two reqular monitors are the Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP and the GPU is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295. Even though I am still a fan of CRT's, the LCD's are getting better and are needed for HD. Two of which, the Panasonic BT-LH1760 and the Sony LMD-2050W we have access to. We use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. For the Reference Monitor and HD-SDI, I know we need a PCI-e card.[/quote][/quote]

I am really torn right now on our upcoming purchase of the Matrox RT.X2, OR AJA XENA OR BM DeckLink HD Extreme. I guess I need to be sure the RT.X2 would work with the above configuration. It is a pretty fast rig and the RT benefits of the RT.X2 would still be realized but to take a chance...I don't know. I would rather go with the AJA XENA OR BM DeckLink HD Extreme and move on unless I knew for sure?

They are not at that level. We have the Sony (LMD-2050W - 1680x1050 (WSXGA+) professional video production monitor. The two Dell's will come out of the Nvidia 295 but the Sony, will come out of the Matrox RT.X2 card (if we go with that). I have researched the three cards we are considering - RT.X2, the Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme and the AJA XENA. Again, with Premiere Pro CS4 and our hardware components, I want to make sure everything works before making that investment.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/rtx2/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>autumn</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/rtx2/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2009 6:27 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Compatibility</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I can't answer the hardware compatiblity issue, but will comment on the monitor setup. <br /> <br />If purchasing the "full" RT.X2 card (not LE) with the DVI output, you can use 1920x1200 LCD monitors like your Dell for editing/color grading.
