Specifying your video output settings (MXO2
Mini)
This section specifies the video output settings for Matrox MXO2 Mini. For other
MXO2 products, see “Specifying your video output settings” on page 52.
MXO2 Mini features simultaneous video outputs that allow you to send your
video to a variety of devices at the same time. MXO2 Mini provides two separate
video output channels to choose from: main channel and SD channel. The video
output settings allow you to set the main channel’s video format, assign a video
channel to an MXO2 Mini output, and define the channel’s behavior. You can
also select other settings such as the scrub and pause method, and calibrate your
HDMI monitor for video.
