It seems that Matrox can finally get a long dreamed of our wishes come true. With the Mini MXO2 is soon a break-out box is available, not only on the PCI Express connection to a PC or Mac will take place, but also has a ExpressCard slot on a laptop, MacBook Pro (or even Netbook?) docks. Besides capturing via HDMI (with up to 10 bits!) Or various analog connections (component, S-video, composite) the box can also be used as a converter, an HDMI monitor into a preview monitor Farbkalibirierung ones. And last but not least, there is also output driver for Premiere, Photoshop and Final Cut Pro. Even the price seems reasonable (especially compared to previous solutions DIY like this one here). 382 Euro plus VAT are certainly affordable for many users, long on such a solution have been waiting for. If the box is working as described, one could in this way from many video cameras, only slightly compressed with 4:2:2 after Cineform, ProRes, or other codecs on a fast SSD laptop in the capture. And this same as preview monitor. more infos at bei www.matrox.com
