Matrox Graphics Announces Parhelia APVe TV Output Support For Digidesign Pro Tools

Matrox Graphics is pleased to announce that the Parhelia™ APVe PCI Express (PCIe) graphics card now enables TV output support with Digidesign® Pro Tools™ systems. This remarkable combination dramatically enhances the user's digital audio editing experience through the Parhelia APVe's Dual-display plus TV output multi-display configuration for its DualHead® workspace, and for the previewing of Pro Tools video projects with the QuickTime multimedia player on an SD or HD video monitor.

Digital audio editors utilizing Pro Tools HD, LE, M-Powered, and Academic applications benefit from an increased onscreen desktop space through the Parhelia APVe's Dual-display plus TV output mode for the spreading of the Midi, instrument, plug-in and tracks windows across the two displays. What's more, the latest Matrox Driver 1.12.02 will permit video projects running in the QuickTime playback engine to be viewed fullscreen on a TV, HDTV or even a third display, via Matrox's PureVideo Preview technology. The Parhelia APVe also supports TripleHead™ Desktop Mode to generate an ultra-wide desktop across three displays.

Availability and pricing

The Matrox Parhelia APVe graphics card ships at a list price of $349 (US) and can be purchased from authorized Matrox resellers worldwide or, in North America and Europe, directly from Matrox.
