Matrox Raptor 2000

A COMPLETE Realtime Editing, DVD Authoring, and Web
Streaming Platform
Matrox RT2000 has more realtime features than any other video-editing
card in its class. It's the ideal choice for corporate video producers,
event videographers, and multimedia artists.

“REAL realtime” means you work with two video streams AND a 32-bit, uncompressed, animated graphics layer, simultaneously, in real
time. On any of the three layers, you can add particle effects, 3D tile transitions, distortion effects, 2D and 3D DVE, and transparency effects –
in real time, NO RENDERING!

The realtime editing power of RT2000 gives you the creative freedom to experiment. There’s no penalty for changing your mind. Everything
happens instantly, at full online quality, and you see the results immediately on your PAL or NTSC monitor. It’s fast, it’s easy, and you get
exactly the look you want, every time.

What’s more, Matrox RT2000 lets you work with all the input/output connections and formats you’ll need to get the most from your editing
system. Capture from analog or DV tape. Edit once, then output anywhere. Deliver on tape, DVD, CD, and the web.

Matrox RT2000 gives YOU real time – to take on all the projects you’ve ever dreamed of, and still have a life outside the editing suite.

Broadcast-Quality 3D Effects Powered by Matrox Flex 3D
Matrox RT2000 harnesses the power of Matrox Millennium graphics accelerator technology via the revolutionary new Matrox Flex 3D
architecture to deliver realtime, broadcast-quality 2D and 3D digital video effects and transitions. With MEGA Pack, you get over 1,000
realtime filters and transitions including particle effects, 3D tiles, distortion effects, page curls, organic wipes and 2D and 3D DVEs. You can
keyframe perspective settings such as rotation, size and position. The fact that Flex 3D is fully programmable means that additional effects
can be easily added via supplementary software.

Mega Pack Keyframer
Mega Pack Keyframer lets you control exactly when your FX happen, where they happen and what motion paths you want to add - all in
Real-Time!! The keyframer creates a mini timeline of the transition, allowing you to set points in the timeline that manipulate your FX. You set
what you want the video to look like at these key points, and the software fills in the rest. Without keyframing you are not able to control where
and when your FX and transitions take place.

With the RT2000 KeyFramer you can update these keyframe points in real-time and actually manipulate the different components of these
effects with drag & drop ease. As an example, lets use a 10 second picture in picture effect. I set my in point at the upper right hand corner. 3
second into the video I want the PIP to fly onto the screen and expand to ¼ screen in the lower left hand corner. At 7 seconds I want to add a
page-peel to the PIP and then have it flutter off the screen by second 10. With the RT2000 this is simple, easy and FAST. Since you don't
have to spend time RENDERING, you can spend your time being CREATIVE! If you change your mind and you want to alter the movement of
the fly-in, or go with a different 3D FX you can - IN REAL-TIME!! No other NLE product offers you this level of 3D FX and control for twice the
price!!

Matrox Flex 3D Architecture
The revolutionary Matrox Flex 3D architecture gives you an unlimited variety of 2D and 3D digital video effects and transitions in real time, at
the full quality level of conventional broadcast 3D DVE equipment, but at a small fraction of the cost. It also gives you much more creative
freedom than competing products that only provide slow software rendered effects while you sit and wait.

Advanced Productivity Tools
Matrox RT2000 includes a variety of unique productivity tools to save you countless hours in the editing suite.

Native-DV Editing
Matrox RT2000 lets you take advantage of the full video-quality potential of your DV camera. Its built-in 1394 port lets you digitally transfer your
DV material to your editing system in its native DV format. This way, you avoid recompression passes and analog-to-digital and
digital-to-analog conversions that degrade the quality of your video.

Matrox RT2000 provides native editing for all DV formats including Panasonic DVCPRO, Sony DVCAM, Sony Digital-8, and the consumer DV
format used by Sony, JVC, Canon, Sharp and Panasonic.

Y/C and composite video input/output provides capture from analog cameras and output to tape.
On-board 1394 input/output interface performs digital transfers to and from DV tape. Device control and batch capture support are
included.
48 kHz stereo audio input/output genlocked to video ensures perfect lip-sync.
MPEG-2 output supports distribution applications such DVD and CD authoring.
RealVideo, Windows Media, and Quicktime outputs let you prepare your program for web video streaming.
