MONTREAL — April 10, 2012 — Matrox Video Products Group today released a software update for the entire range of Matrox MXO2™ I/O devices and the Matrox Mojito MAX card that finalizes broadcast monitoring support with Apple's Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 update. Broadcast monitoring in Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 allows video and audio output to a variety of external monitors and other equipment using the SDI, HDMI, or analog video outputs from Matrox products.
