Matrox Parhelia offers TV preview for Adobe

By Ian Bell April 17, 2003

Matrox announced a new What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get (WYSIWYG) plug-in for Matrox Parhelia, offering unique TV previewing capability for Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and 7.0. This free plug-in forParhelia owners is available from the Matrox website and allows users to view Photoshop images on an NTSC or PAL video monitor, when in Parhelia’s Dual-Display plus TV-output or single-display plusTV-output mode.

“Matrox Parhelia and Adobe Photoshop users will be thrilled with this new WYSIWYG plug-in,” says Caroline Injoyan, video workstation product manager, Matrox Graphics Inc. “It optimizes workflow whencreating images and titles for video in Photoshop, allowing users to preview a project on a video monitor to check for visual artifacts, without the need to import it into another application.”

The WYSIWYG plug-in installs directly into Photoshop 6.0 and 7.0 and lets users preview images on a TV, either in source size, with the option to maintain aspect ratio, or stretched full-screen, inorder to check for proper color temperature, safe title area and interlacing artifacts. Since Photoshop images are routinely incorporated into non-linear editing (NLE) applications such as AdobeÂ®Premiere or Avid Xpress DV, or into compositing applications such as Adobe After EffectsÂ®, the ability to view them on a TV, prior to importing and rendering, greatly enhances video workstationproductivity.

The Adobe Photoshop WYSIWYG plug-in is a free download from the Matrox Graphics website for Parhelia owners. For more information, please access our video workstation page at the following link:http://www.matrox.com/mga/workstation/video/home.cfm.

Best Mac Mini deals: Save over $100 on an Apple desktop

Apple Mac Mini 2018

When it comes to Apple desktops, you have quite a lot of options, but the best one for smaller spaces where you can't fit a full-fledged tower or all-in-one is an Apple Mac Mini. Not only is it absolutely tiny compared to a regular desktop, but it still manages to pack a lot of features under the hood, meaning you don't lose a ton of performance due to the smaller form factor. Of course, being Apple products, they're still quite expensive, which is why we've gone out and found our favorite Mac Mini deals and collected them below, although many of them are for refurbished or renewed versions. That's mostly due to the fact that older models aren't available, even though they're cheaper and still have excellent performance.

Of course, if you don't find what you're looking for here, you could check out these other excellent Apple deals. Also, if you want a more traditional experience, take a look at these iMac deals and MacBook deals deals as well.
