Avid Liquid 7.1 is a rather different beast than Matrox’s RT.X2, particularly in software-only form. The Liquid rendering engine is undoubtedly powerful with DV, but it struggles a bit with HDV, even on a relatively powerful dual-processor workstation. In contrast, whilst the Matrox RT.X2 does need powerful hardware, you get very capable HDV editing in return. So in this respect, you get what you pay for with the more expensive Matrox product. On the other hand, Liquid is a complete package. With Liquid’s extremely strong built-in DVD authoring, small production houses or serious end users have everything they need for taking their productions from tape to disc in one package. We’ve even seen professionals use Liquid for its authoring abilities alone. So whereas Matrox’s RT.X2 leaves you to obtain third-party DVD authoring, Avid Liquid 7.1 offers much better value, although the premium for the Pro breakout box is a little steep. Read full review
