Matrox hardware components are designed for optimal performance, flexibility, and scalability. They share a memory centric, asynchronous architecture that provides high-speed transfers of video, audio, and graphics data between I/O peripherals, co-processors, the CPU, and host memory. On-board DMA engines allow data transfers to occur without any intervention from the CPU. Dedicated on-board 10-bit hardware scalers off-load CPU or GPU processes.
The full range of broadcast-quality video/audio inputs and outputs are supported in NTSC and PAL as well as 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 1080i HD resolutions at all frame rates. Support for 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios is provided. A variety of I/O configurations are available to meet your specific application needs. All of the hardware components are supported by the Matrox SDK for Mac.
