Make a Matrox MX02 work in the latest versions of Creative Cloud

Matrox stopped supporting their MX02 range with CC2015.  If you download the last drivers they made for the MX02 it will not install anything into the latest version of CC, so the MX02 will not appear in Premiere and there is no easy way to make it do so with just the drivers.

The following explains how to install the MX02 on Windows 10/11 and how to put the plug-ins in the correct place for Premiere to see them.  However, it is not supported by Matrox or myself – just something that I have tried and it worked.  It is entirely possible the MX02 will not get on with your motherboard or processor and may even mess up Windows completely so I would suggest you make an image of the system before you try installing.

However, they have provided a link to the files you need to add into Premiere to make the MX02 work with it.  You have to install the version 8 drivers first which you can get from this link:https://video.matrox.com/en/apps/drivers/video/downloads/legacyProducts

Once you have these install the drivers and it will get the MX02 working and seen by the PC.  However, it will not put the plugins in the correct place for the MX02 to work in Premiere Pro. You now need to download this file  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y2WSicFEoCIpCuJ2u2rPZLuzWY755Y_n/view?usp=sharing

And manually put them in the right folders.  In the zip file there is a text docement which explains where you have to put each file. The document refers to Premiere Pro CS6 so for every time you see CS6 just use the folder for whatever the current version of CC you have installed.

After you have done so and restarted Premiere hopefully the MX02 will appear in the program and in Adobe Media Encoder.  I last tested this in 2024 using a Windows 11 system and Premiere Pro CC2023 and it worked for me then.

CC2023 was the last version of Premiere that supported capture in Premiere Pro so obviously you can only use the MX02 to output from the timeline.

Matrox do not support this set up so if it does not work for you there is nothing you can do it about it.

The obvious alternative is to buy an up-to-date capture card like a Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K.  I have been told that these are being discontinued although as I write this in October 2025 you can still buy them from some places.  I no longer sell hardward myself so I would suggest looking at somewhere like Scan for a Blackmagic device.
