Supported Codecs
This section details the supported Codecs for all supported Video Cards used by Vizrt.
Matrox Codecs
The Matrox X.mio series cards all support a selection of different codecs for both SD and HD. Certain codecs require certain card classes. Depending on the card class, a license upgrade may be required to extend the range of codecs supported by the installed video card. The Matrox video cards have a built-in license dongle used by the Matrox codecs to determine licensing rights.
-
For the Matrox X.mio, X.mio2 and X.mio2 Plus video cards, the following classes apply:
-
6000 class: SD codecs only. No D10.
-
8000 class: SD, HD, D10 and D12 codecs.
-
8500 class: SD, HD, D10 and D12 codecs, and Apple ProRes playback capabilities.
-
-
For the Matrox X.mio3 and DSX LE 4 video cards, the following classes apply:
-
100 class: No clip playback.
-
500 class: SD and HD clip playback.
-
550 class: SD and HD clip playback, including support for Apple ProRes codecs.
-
All codecs are implemented in the software.
QuickTime Codecs for the Viz Artist/Engine 64-bit Platform
Although QuickTime is natively supported by the Matrox clip player, which is available with any Matrox video card or Matrox X.Open dongle, the QuickTime player cannot be used as fallback device on a 64-bit Viz Engine. A 64-bit Viz Engine requires Matrox hardware to utilize QuickTime codecs for clip playback and post-rendering with MatroxFileWriter and ClipOut channel.
The following QuickTime codecs are supported:
-
RLE (animation): (Playback only)
-
H264
-
Apple ProRes
-
HDV
-
XDCam
-
DVCPro
-
DNxHD - Requires Matrox X.mio2, X.mio2 Plus or X.mio3 Video board
IMPORTANT! The Codec DNxHD requires its own license, issued by Vizrt.
Matrox cards support the following codec types and formats:

IMPORTANT! Due to its huge amount of required CPU power, it is not recommended to use this codec. If is to be used, only use the V210 surface format.

DVS and Bluefish Codecs
The DVS and Bluefish Video cards support only the Microsoft DirectShow Filter Graph framework to render video clips. This enables play, for example, of MPEG files or streams from a server. This means that DVS and Bluefish Video cards can play everything that can be played out by the Windows Media Player, so it depends on what codecs/DirectShow filters are installed on the machine.
For more information on how to use video clips see Video Clip Playback Considerations and Video Clips, in particular, the SoftClip and MoViz plug-ins.
