RTX2/PP4 - General Description
If you're a professional video editor concerned about getting maximum
productivity from Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe CS4 Production Premium,
have a look at the Matrox RT.X2 product line – the ideal solutions for
corporate communicators, event videographers, project studios, educational
facilities and digital filmmakers. If you’re delivering your work in SD,

to use a DVI display for full resolution HD previews, you’ll need RT.X2.
