Re: New bundle - RT.X2 with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 Upgrade

I'm a director/editor at the Video Workshop in Portland, Maine. We have an Axio HD and an RTX2 system in-house, and have been using Matrox products (DigiSuite and RT products) since 1996 (first on our Inscriber CG in our old 1" online suite). I am a paid technical consultant for Maine Video Systems, who is a Matrox Gold dealer, also in Portland. I have also been a beta tester for Matrox in the past.

We have been in the production business since 1978. Our projects here run the gamut from TV spots to HD series.

I'm not a Matrox fanboy; I've carefully checked out the competition. If I thought we could do better with FCP/Kona, or an Adreneline, that's what we would edit on. But I don't.

Frankly I'm amazed that more people don't appreciate the performance/value of Axio ant RTX2. But if they don't, that's their problem. Most people, i understand, aren't really professional editors. They may do a project here and there, and for them, Pinnacle Studio is all they really need (although they'll buy FCP anyway to be cool).

For me it's important to export the DVDs as quickly as possible, so I can move on to something else. Speed is important to me. That's why I like Matrox.
