"There is currently a known issue with Quicktime 7.5 and our latest MXO 2.1.3 drivers, in which our Proc Amp utility will not properly load our test bars for calibration purposes. Please note that this does not effect calibration profiles made prior to Quicktime 7.5, we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and urge you to check back regularly for any updates regarding this matter

Well, this isn't good. For all the people who run FCP 6.0.4 that requires QT 7.5...this basically hoses you on being able to set up the MXO and you Apple Cinema Display. I hope they get a fix soon. Sorry for the late notice on this. I don't peruse their forums (I should now), and I only learned of this when a friend bought one and couldn't get it to work properly.
NOTE: Andy commented that this only effects the Proc Amp monitor calibration of computer monitors like the Apple or Dell. All the other functions operate normally.
UPDATE: Matrox has released a patch that can be downloaded here. This fixes the calibration bug with QT 7.5.

It's worth noting perhaps, that this issue is (afaik) solely with regard to calibration of non broadcast monitors (Apple Cinema Display, Dell Ultrasharp LCD's etc) for critical color reference needs via the DVI connection, and does not affect those using the unit for HD-SDI monitoring and/or SD SDI monitoring etc
Now where the heck is the "shipping in July" ... no wait, now its "shipping in August" MXO2? Which August were they talking about?
Is this Andy the cameraman? ('cause he knows what he's talking about for sure)
Wait! Is this thing out or isn't it?
The MXO 2 is not out yet. Still testing.
