Montreal, Canada – June 29, 2009 – Matrox® Video Products Group today announced Matrox MXO2™ Mini support for the popular CineForm NeoScene editing workflow that streamlines AVCHD editing with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on the PC. The Matrox MXO2 Mini I/O device provides inexpensive HDMI monitoring with 10-bit 4:2:2 color precision. It turns an HDMI screen into a professional-grade video monitor with Matrox's unique color calibration tool.
With versions for both Windows and Mac, CineForm’s Neo3D delivers a real-time 3D editing workflow compatible with most NLEs — including from Adobe, Apple, Avid, and Sony. A Neo3D workflow begins by creating CineForm 3D media that contains full-resolution Left and Right eye information in a single AVI or MOV wrapper. CineForm has just released a public Beta of Neo Scene for Mac! Neo Scene Mac supports conversion of AVCHD, HDV, and Canon 5D Mk II files to CineForm files for editing in Final Cut Pro and iMovie.
Controls for hue, chroma, contrast, brightness, and blue-only are provided. Users get accurate color representation so that an inexpensive HDMI monitor can be used even for color grading. Matrox MXO2 Mini even provides 1:1 pixel mapping on HDMI displays that support this feature so video will not be stretched and distorted by the monitor.

Matrox MXO2 Mini even provides 1:1 pixel mapping on HDMI displays that support this feature so video will not be stretched and distorted by the monitor. “CineForm users appreciate the high visual fidelity and realtime editing capability NeoScene brings to their AVCHD workflow but until now, they have not been able to enjoy full-screen previews of their work,” said Francesco Scartozzi, Matrox sales director. “Matrox MXO2 Mini provides an affordable, high-quality, video output solution that greatly improves the AVCHD editing experience.” “The AVCHD camera format is designed for recording, not editing, but now with a few simple steps editors can benefit from professional realtime editing performance,” said David Taylor, CineForm co-founder and CEO. With NeoScene, users can easily convert difficult-to-edit AVCHD files into CineForm’s professional 10-bit Wavelet compression format for faster editing performance, plus conversion to 24p (24 progressive frames) for users who desire a cinematic presentation. We’re excited about our collaboration with Matrox because of the enhanced editing experience that results; users can now drop their CineForm content on a CS4 timeline using a Matrox project preset and enjoy realtime playout through MXO2 to their preferred monitor or television.
Hi, I have a Cineform 4k video I want to play. I don't need to edit it or anything. I have downloaded the free codec from GoPro and installed the two relevant packages into my Quicktime folder. I have the Cineform preference pain in my System Preferences.

When I go to play the video Quicktime starts a conversion process which takes a very long time because it is a large file. It ends up converting from a 330Gb AVI file to a 7.3Gb MOV. I assume I am losing a lot of quality in the processing because of the high compression.
I just want to be able to play the file natively from the AVI file without this conversion for best quality, is this possible? Click to expand.If you do a google search for 'VLC cineform' you will find that there is now a freely downloadable CINEFORM decoder for VLC from 'Kolor'. I have tested this with 4K Timescape (4K Cineform wrapped in AVI) video playing back via USB 3 connected HD (USB 3 via Sonnet Allegro Pro PCIe Card to MacPro) and it appears to decode ok, but I had some dropped frames. I think this is due to speed of USB HD, but will also test via RAID or 10GBE connected storage.
This is good news for Mac users looking to play 4K video, as my experience with the 32-Bit QT 7 Decoder is that it is very poor performance. Cheers, Zebity.
