Enhanced productivity
In addition to the productivity boost you get from realtime editing, the RTMac also brings you other important benefits to streamline your workflow.

Matrox RTMac complements Apple FireWire support built into Power Mac G4 computers with analog video capture and output. Using the RTMac breakout box, you can digitize source material from analog devices to use in your DV editing projects and record your finished projects to videotape for distribution. You also get full resolution viewing on an NTSC or PAL video monitor without connecting a DV device to your Power Mac G4.

Dual-screen editing is an added benefit of Matrox RTMac. Simply connect a second computer monitor to increase your Final Cut Pro workspace.
