Avid Mojo SDI w/Pro Tools
Digidesign today announced that Avid Mojo SDI video interface now provides extensive Avid video integration with Digidesign Pro Tools|HD systems and is available through authorized Digidesign Pro Dealers. Avid Mojo SDI allows Pro Tools users to bring projects from any of the leading video-editing systems (including Avid Xpress and Avid Media Composer) directly into their Pro Tools HD sessions. With Avid Mojo SDI, Pro Tools users can open OMF, AAF, or MXF files created on any Avid Xpress or Media Composer system in Pro Tools and get sample-accurate playback of all standard-definition Avid video and frame edge-aligned playback of most standard-definition and high-definition QuickTime video. Avid Mojo SDI integrates with qualified Windows XP- and PowerPC Mac-based Pro Tools|HD systems running the recently released Pro Tools HD 7.3 software, but is not yet compatible with Intel-based Mac (although future support is planned). Avid Mojo SDI is available for $2,500.
Avid Mojo SDI can also capture DV25-quality video directly to the Pro Tools timeline, offers a full complement of analog and digital video I/O connections, including component, composite, S-Video, and SDI (Serial Digital Interface), and is supported in Digidesign’s new Pro Tools HD 7.3 software release.
“Never has the full power of integrated Avid video been so affordable” says Gordon Lyon, Digidesign product manager for Avid Mojo SDI. “The ability to play back Avid video sequences directly in the Pro Tools Timeline has long been a major time and money saver. Now smaller facilities, edit rooms, and independent editors can have the competitive advantage of working with any standard-definition Avid video sequence on PC or Mac.”
In addition, Avid Mojo SDI provides integrated playback of all standard-definition Avid video, including JFIF (up to 1:1) and AVR resolutions, DV25, DV50, MXF, IMX, multicam, interlaced, and 24p/25p progressive scan. It supports frame edge-aligned playback of most QuickTime SD and HD video resolutions, including H.264 as well as supports DV25 video capture direct to the Pro Tools Timeline.
