    RT-2000 MEGA Pack public beta

    RT-2000 owners will want to take advantage of this;

    ========SNIP========

    Matrox is very excited to let you know that a new version of the MEGA Pack software, which brings Windows 2000 support to the RT2000, will be made available as a Preview Release (Open Beta) to all registered RT2000 users on our website this coming Monday February 19th.

    In the meantime, here are a few details about some of the new features that MEGA Pack 3.0 will bring to the RT2000:

    Windows 2000 Support

    MEGA Pack 3.0 supports Windows 2000, which allows you to take advantage of dual-processing power, critical in those times in which you want to use software-based effects within Adobe Premiere. Windows 2000 features superior network management -- ideal in environments for when you need to share and distribute video files to many systems, such as the classroom setting. The Windows 2000 NTFS file structure brings you better file management, unlimited file sizes, and full video file compatibility with Matrox DigiSuite LX and DigiSuite DTV.

    More realtime Flex3D effects

    You now have the ability to use over 60 of Adobe Premiere's native transition effects in real time. This means that the effects that you were accustomed to rendering for many years, can now be played back in real time! You don't need to learn how to use new effects -- just drag-and-drop as usual. With the addition of this feature, Matrox RT2000 becomes the first non-linear editing system to support such an extensive set of Adobe Premiere's features in real time.

    Realtime 3D tiles are now available as filters, giving you even more creative flexibility with this unique class of effects.

    Realtime keyframeable cropping can now be applied to all Matrox video effects in real time. For example, you can apply a distortion effect to only a small area of the screen, and dynamically position this blurred area to hide someone's face.

    Realtime keyframeable colorization lets you to adjust the brightness, contrast, and the red, green, blue, and alpha components, or create the negative image of a clip in real time. Create special effects like sepia toning, purple haze, or simulate life on the planet Mars.

    Enhanced Adobe Premiere 6.0 Support

    A professional, multichannel audio mixer and VU meters that can be used to control audio levels as your watch your synchronized video.

    Widescreen 16:9 editing where video can be captured, edited, and output in 16:9 format. If you want to display widescreen 16:9 footage on a standard 4:3 screen, you can use a keyframeable 2D DVE to position your footage so that the area of interest is in the center of the screen, as is done with Pan & Scan.

    Matrox MediaTools

    Matrox MediaTools is a robust, fully-featured DV capture application that allows you to perform automatic, unattended DV tape scanning and batch capture. Because Matrox MediaTools is fully automated, you can save hours and hours of tedious logging and capturing time that you can instead dedicate to editing. With MediaTools you can:

    Automatically scan the entire DV tape and create a batch capture list of scenes.

    Automatically scan and capture clips to disk from a DV tape.

    Recapture clips from a batch capture list at a later time, delete clips on disk, or manually adjust the In and Out points of each item prior to capturing.

    Export the entire contents of the batch capture list directly into an Adobe Premiere project.

    Grab single-frame TGA images and AVI clips, to create photo montage sequences. With single-frame AVI clips, you can apply realtime effects to your stills without requiring file conversions, and without the need to render.

    Use VTR functions to quickly and easily view clips stored on your hard disk, or to control your video camera.

    Other Product Enhancements

    A new memory architecture has been implemented that will allow users with systems limited to 64 MB of AGP aperture to benefit from ALL of the RT2000 features, including exporting to MPEG2-IBP.

    With Matrox RT2000 MEGA Pack 3.0, your editing experience is even more pleasurable with rock-solid and dependable software that is compatible with a greater number of DV and analog devices.

    Our biggest concern when we created this 3.0 software update was to bring the RT2000 to a level of stability and functionality that has no equivalent in this price range on the market and we believe that this has been achieved with MEGA Pack 3.0. We are now very anxious to let you try this Preview Release and give you the opportunity to help us iron out the few remaining issues before the final 3.0 release.

    Best regards,

    Matrox RT2000 Team
