.  Realtime 2D and 3D DVE
 When comparing editing solutions it is important to understand their
realtime capabilities. The RT2000 provides realtime 2D and 3D effects,
including page curls, perspective, slides, organic wipes, pushes,
picture-in-picture (PIP), fly in/out and much more. These effects can be
used in Adobe Premiere as transitions or as filters, and can be applied on
video or graphics. For example, you can apply a page curl on your text to
make it fly on or off the screen.
The DV500 does not have any of these realtime capabilities. The only effect
it can do in real time is organic wipe transitions. To create 3D DVEs, the
DV500 uses a software plug-in called FreeFX that does not work in real time.
All effects must be rendered. When you select an effect from FreeFX you
cannot even preview it on the NTSC or PAL video monitor until you actually
render it.
2.  Two video layers plus one graphics layer in real time
 The RT2000 lets you work with 3 layers (or tracks) in real time - 2 video
clips and 1 graphics layer. The graphics layer can be positioned at any
point in the three-layer stack. You are not restricted to keeping the
graphics on top.
For example you can:
. have a video clip fly out revealing another underneath while a text layer
fades in or out.
. overlay graphics (with transparency) during a PIP effect.
. roll a text frame on the screen while one video clip is fading into
another.
. overlay graphics (with transparency) during a transition. This saves a
tremendous amount of time in productions where a logo appears throughout
your project.
DV500 cannot perform any of these examples in real time. It can only do
organic transitions between 2 video layers or between 1 video and 1 static
graphics layer. With the realtime features of the RT2000, you spend much
less time rendering. You get greater flexibility, more creative options, and
much quicker turn around on all your video projects.
3.  Uncompressed 32-bit graphics
 RT2000 features uncompressed, 32-bit, 4:2:2:4 graphics for maximum quality.
DV500 uses DV compression on graphics that reduces the resolution to 4:1:1
and can produce significant artifacts.
4.  Hardware accelerated multi-layer compositing engine
 When the number of layers in your project exceeds the realtime capabilities
of RT2000, you benefit from its ultra-fast multi-layer compositing engine.
You can apply Matrox 2D and 3D DVE as well as transparency on an unlimited
number of graphic and video layers. The hardware engine within Matrox's Flex
3D architecture composites these effects in a flash. Anyone who has seen or
worked with the Matrox DigiSuite compositing engine will understand and
appreciate the advantage of this technology.
DV500 FreeFX cannot be applied as filters so any multi-layer effect will be
rendered entirely in software at a very slow pace.
5. Native DV and MPEG-2 editing
 RT2000 lets you edit in native DV or in MPEG-2. Native DV means that the
bitstream from the DV camera is transferred digitally in its original
compressed format over the built-in 1394 link to the hard disk without any
recompression or transcoding. This lets you take full advantage of the
quality of your DV camera. You can also capture analog video into DV streams
and mix them with your native DV footage. In addition, RT2000 supports
MPEG-2 editing so you can capture analog video into an MPEG-2 stream at a
bit rate that you select. This lets you choose a low bit rate for offline
editing of long-form projects in order to save disk space.
DV500 only lets you edit DV. There is no MPEG-2 editing offered.
6. Award-winning graphics card included in the price
 The RT2000 ships with the high-performance Matrox Millennium G400 Flex 3D
Edition graphics card. You get a 32-MB AGP card valued at over $200 included
in the price of RT2000.
There is no graphics accelerator included with the DV500.
7. Integrated graphics card eliminates compatibility issues
 Configuring your graphics card to reliably work with your video-editing
card to give you a high-quality, full-frame-rate video preview window on you
VGA monitor can be a challenge. You have to deal with issues such as whether
the display card works in preview or overlay mode, whether it supports RGB
or YUV, whether bus mastering works properly, whether you have the right
drivers, etc. Technical support assistance is often required to do this
set-up and the DV500 is faced with this problem. In addition to the issue of
console functionality, using FreeFX adds another compatibility variable to
the DV500 mix. Some effects will work in hardware on some cards and not on
others and the quality of the effects is dependent on the 3D capabilities of
the graphics card. This following extract from the FreeFX release notes says
it all:
"The hardware compatibility slider offers three settings: The topmost,
called 'Full 3D hardware acceleration', makes the Pinnacle 3D engine render
the effects as fast as possible making full use of the available 3D graphics
hardware. This may cause compatibility problems with some VGA cards and
drivers. With a modern 3D accelerator this results in render times of about
10:1, meaning a one second transition is being rendered in less than ten
seconds."
The Matrox Millennium G400 display card is included with the RT2000 and has
been thoroughly tested so there are never any compatibility problems. The
two cards work in a controlled environment with a local connection so no
uncompressed video has to go over the PCI bus or AGP. The G400 graphics chip
is designed with special features such as anisotropic filtering, sub-pixel
precision, anti-aliasing, and environment-mapped bump-mapping that make it
ideal in a video editing environment. The RT2000 provides high quality
video-in-a-window and realtime broadcast-quality 3D effects every time.
8.  Infinite Capture vs. Instant Video
 In order to overcome the 2-GB file limitation of Windows 98, the RT2000
offers Infinite Capture. This feature provides seamless playback and CAPTURE
of multiple 2-GB files. During capture of long segments, it automatically
creates multiple 2-GB files that appear as a single video clip within
Premiere. You work with the video clip as if it were a single file.
DV500 does not provide seamless capture. Pinnacle's Instant Video only works
on playback where multiple separate 2-GB files can be played in a cutlist.
You have to do all the file management to limit the capture to 2-GB and
collate the files manually on the timeline, while trying to be frame
accurate on the cut points so that there are no glitches seen during
playback.
9. Three-year warranty
 The Matrox RT2000 comes with a 3-year warranty. The warranty on DV500 is
limited to 1 year.

Quelo che mi fa inc.... č che sono 5 mesi di bla
,bla,bla di questa rt2000 Diferenze con altre schede ecc, ma gli altri
intanto le vendono la matrox solo c'č la racconta e noi lě tutti con il naso
all'insů pronti a comperare a caro prezzo il solito bidone....
