Chapter 4, Installing Your Matrox RT.X2 Software
Overview of the software installation
Once you’ve installed your Matrox RT.X2 hardware and properly connected your
devices, you can proceed with the software installation. This includes installing
Adobe Premiere Pro and Matrox Mx.tools. Matrox Mx.tools installs the drivers
for your Matrox RT.X2 hardware and the Matrox realtime plug-in for Adobe
Premiere Pro.
Hardware detection
Turn on your computer. Once Windows restarts, the “Found New Hardware
Wizard” detects your Matrox RT.X2 hardware. Because the Matrox Mx.tools
Setup program will automatically detect your devices and install the appropriate
drivers, simply press
ESC
or click Cancel to close the “Found New Hardware
Wizard.”
¡ Important The “Found New Hardware Wizard” will appear for each of your
RT.X2 hardware components. Make sure that you close the “Found New
Hardware Wizard” each time it appears. To ensure a smooth Matrox RT.X2
software installation, it is essential that you do not let the “Found New Hardware
Wizard” try to install any drivers.
The “Found New Hardware Wizard” will only appear the first time you start your
computer after installing your RT.X2 hardware.
