With the release of the newest Final Cut Pro X update to ver. 10.0.4, Apple has improved broadcast monitoring, working with manufacturers to get it right. I was able to take the latest I/O drivers from Matrox for a drive, and I gotta say, they’re incredible! I’m a big fan of Matrox’s hardware, and I’ve been waiting patiently for Apple to update FCP X and improve broadcast monitoring, and with it, Matrox is releasing these drivers.
Using an MXO2, video and sound look great on my external monitor — I’m using an LCD at 1920 x 1080. I’m going to work with a colleague who has a full-fleged HD production monitor to do some more tests, but so far, so good. I’ll have a more extensive look soon.
