“...Matrox RTMac is for Adobe Premiere and Apple Final Cut Pro users. With a Matrox RTMac card offers Realtime Editing and Effects for the G4 Macs allowing you to work with three layers of video and graphics in real time and create broadcast-quality effects instantly — no rendering.

Also analog video capture and output via the RTMac breakout box as well as full resolution viewing on a PAL or NTSC video monitor without connecting a DV device to your Power Mac G4...”

Matrox was often bundled with FCP 2.0. With Final Cut Pro HD's RT abilities, the need for this card has diminished.
