PRODUCTS - NON LINEAR EDITING - N L E SYSTEMS – MATROX AXIO LE

 

Matrox Axio LE logo

The Matrox Axio LE provides a complete post-production solution that lets you get the best from the Adobe CS3 Production Premium software. It is designed to give you the most comprehensive realtime feature set, the highest quality native codec technology, and complete file-based workflows – totally integrated with the Adobe software.

Most powerful realtime engine for HD and SD editing

The Matrox Axio LE lets you work at the highest finishing quality with the most realtime video/graphic layers and the most comprehensive realtime tool set of any platform in its class. It’s designed to overcome the limitations of software-only editing by providing performance–and quality–optimized effects processing. Built on Matrox Power of X and Flex technologies, Matrox Axio LE leverages CPU and GPU power to provide a tightly integrated, ultra high performance SD and HD editing environment for Adobe Premiere Pro.

Matrox Axio LE

Highest quality realtime effects

Matrox has invested heavily to develop the expertise in code optimization for both AMD and Intel processors that enables us to deliver the most powerful realtime effects at the highest quality. Matrox Axio LE effects are fully keyframeable and feature a high level of control for detailed work. Each effect has a series of parameters that can be fine tuned to get just the look you want. To save time you can use the preconfigured effects presets or create and save your own presets.

Most realtime video/graphic layers

Many editing systems compromise quality or effects refinement and complexity to increase the number of layers, whereas Matrox Axio LE always delivers maximum realtime quality. Timelines with more layers and/or effects than can be processed in realtime can still benefit from hardware-accelerated previews. Matrox Axio LE will always play back the timeline at the best possible quality and if necessary, gracefully reduce the frame rate. You always get in-context feedback as you work.

The number of layers that can be processed in real time depends on your system CPU, the GPU that is performing the effects processing, and the characteristics of your workflow – the video resolution you are working with, the frame rate, the codec, and the number and complexity of effects. System selection guidelines and lists of validated computers, motherboards, and GPUs are posted in the support section of the Matrox website.

Most comprehensive realtime tool set

The combination of realtime Matrox Flex CPU effects and realtime Matrox Flex GPU effects gives you all the realtime features you need to finish your projects in record time.
