Before installing Matrox Mtx.utils, make sure that you’ve installed the third-party software that you’ll be using with Mojito MAX. Adobe Premiere Pro must be installed if you want to use Adobe Mercury Transmit for playback on your Matrox hardware with Adobe Prelude. ¦NoteMatrox Mtx.utils installs software for Mojito MAX as well as the Matrox CompressHD card so that you can use your Mojito MAX hardware with CompressHD.

Known issues Please be aware of the following issues when using Matrox Mojito MAX with Matrox Mtx.utils version 8.0: Installation and general operation • Livestream Procaster is no longer supported. (Ref# VPG-12158) • Matrox Effects are no longer supported in Adobe After Effects CC releases. (Ref# VPG-12819) • When installing Matrox Mtx.utils, you may receive a message that some device drivers have not been installed successfully. You can ignore this message, as the device drivers will be successfully installed once the Mtx.utils installation is complete. (Ref# 52208) • After adding a Matrox CompressHD card to your Matrox Mojito MAX system, even though Matrox X.info detects your new hardware, the Matrox presets for encoding to Matrox H.264 Blu-ray format may not be present in Adobe Encore. If this happens, uninstall and re-install Matrox Mtx.utils. (Ref# 56582) • If you installed Matrox Mtx.utils without your Mojito MAX card installed in your computer, you may experience problems when you try to use your Mojito MAX system for the first time. If this happens, restart your system.

In the NVIDIA Control Panel under Video, select Adjust video color settings. In the displayed dialog box, select With the NVIDIA settings, click the Advanced tab, and from the Dynamic range list, select Full (0-255). Apply this setting to all the displays on which you preview video using Matrox applications. (Ref# 56660) • To avoid issues when using applications that have a live video window on a Matrox Mojito MAX system with an NVIDIA display card, it’s recommended that you use your display card’s control panel to turn off the vertical sync for each program that you use with your Matrox video hardware. In the NVIDIA Control Panel, select Manage 3D Settings, click the Program Settings tab, select a program to customize, such as Adobe Premiere, and then set Vertical sync to Force off. (Ref# VPG-3465) Known issues 3 • When using the HDMI output from an Xbox as your input source with Mojito MAX hardware, the audio output from Mojito MAX may be distorted.
