Matrox Announces Matrox RT.X10 Xtra
NAB 2003, Las Vegas, Nevada - April 7, 2003 - Matrox Video Products Group
today announced Matrox RT.X10 Xtra, a video editing card that lets PC users
quickly and easily create home movies, business videos, and school projects
they can be proud of, even if they are new to video. Based on Matrox's
"Power of X" architecture, RT.X10 Xtra leverages scalable CPU power with the
explosive performance of dedicated hardware to give users superior realtime
editing functionality at a very affordable price.
"Matrox RT.X10 Xtra builds on the success of the Matrox RT.X10 realtime
editing platform that has won numerous international awards," said Stephen
Albanese, Matrox product manager. "We've included a variety of tools in
Matrox RT.X10 Xtra that help even novice users get professional results
fast. Realtime color correction makes all shots picture perfect. Realtime
broadcast-quality titles and customizable 3D effects such as page curls,
organic wipes, spheres, cubes, 3D tiles, particle effects, and
picture-in-picture give videos a high-end TV look. Realtime super-smooth
fast and slow motion let users create dramatic or humorous effects.
Multi-track audio mixing makes it easy to add soundtracks and music."
Matrox RT.X10 Xtra lets users work with both analog and DV camcorders and
VCRs. The RT.X10 Xtra bundle includes a state-of-the-art video capture and
realtime 3D effects card with a 1394 port, an analog audio/video breakout
cable, the full version of Adobe Premiere 6.5 editing software, and Sonic
Solutions DVDit! SE DVD authoring software. Priced at $599 US in North
America, Matrox RT.X10 Xtra delivers full-quality, full-resolution, no
compromise realtime editing at a price that is comparable, or even lower,
than many software-only realtime editing applications, including Adobe
Premiere itself.
