Has anyone tried this with Vegas 6? DSE talks about it in his HDV book and it sure sounds great - It's a triple head card, 2 DVI out and one HDTV out, here is a link:

Yes, I've been wondering about this as well. I've got a firm eye on this card as a possible upgrade to my current one.

doesnt look to well for video out with Vegas - though they list vegas4 there ...

I was a big promoter/user of matrox - except they had very poor performance in HD playback compared to other cards, plus some other driver issues (see matrox forums) .. i switched ..

this may be changed for the APVe , i dont know - but playback performance on the Parhelia of HD clips was aweful ..
