Supported Codecs for Matrox Clip Playback

The Matrox X.mio series cards all support a selection of different codecs for both SD and HD. Certain codecs require certain card classes. Depending on the card class, a license upgrade may be required to extend the range of codecs supported by the installed video card. The Matrox video cards have a built-in license dongle used by the Matrox codecs to determine licensing rights.

  • For the Matrox topology based video cards, the following classes apply:

    • 100 class: No clip playback.

    • 500 class: SD and HD clip playback.

    • 550 class: SD and HD clip playback, including support for Apple ProRes codecs.

  • For UHD playback a M264 board is highly recommended or mandatory for some codecs.

All codecs are implemented in the software.

QuickTime Codecs

Viz Engine uses Matrox hardware to utilize QuickTime codecs for clip playback and post-rendering with MatroxFileWriter and ClipOut channel.

The following QuickTime codecs are supported:

  • RLE (animation): (Playback only)

  • H264

  • Apple ProRes

  • HDV

  • XDCam

  • DVCPro

  • DNxHD (requires Matrox Topology Video board)

IMPORTANT! The Codec DNxHD requires its own license, issued by Vizrt.

Matrox cards support the following codec types and formats:

IMPORTANT! Due to its huge amount of required CPU power, it is not recommended to use this codec. If is to be used, only use the V210 surface format. XAVC codecs should only be used with special hardware like a M264 card.
