The revolutionary Avid Mojo is
the portable, powerful Digital Nonlinear Accelerator that delivers
the unprecedented power of true real-time effects, real-time DV
input and output and professional analog-to-DV media conversion
to Avid Xpress Pro. Avid Mojo provides a full complement of real-time
DV and analog input and output ports all wrapped in a rugged anodized
aluminum case. Connected via a single FireWire cable to qualified
Mac or PC systems, it is the first and only real-time video solution
for notebook computers. Compact enough to take on location yet
powerful enough to serve as the core of a video-editing suite,
Avid Mojo connects to any qualified Mac or PC system via a single
FireWire cable and scales from DV25 to uncompressed SD video.
Key Features of Avid Mojo
Real-time video and effects
output.
Avid Xpress Pro offers real-time previews of multiple
streams of DV25 video, one stream of uncompressed video
or graphics, as well as over 115 effects. Adding Avid
Mojo means that all of that can be simultaneously output
in full quality to both client monitor and digital or
analog tape.
Avid Mojo also provides real-time pulldown
reinsertion for 24P footage, making it an essential
component for anyone working with progressive media,
whether DV or offline film and HD.
Real-time D/A and A/D transcoding.
Avid Mojo provides analog to digital conversions happen
in real time, while maintaining perfect synch with desktop
displays. Avid Mojo's built-in hardware DV codec handles
time-consuming compression and decompression of DV footage
itself, freeing the host computer's CPU to handle other
tasks.
Uncompressed graphics and analog
video support.
Avid Mojo adds uncompressed graphics or video in Avid
Xpress Pro DV25 projects in real time. This allows imported
uncompressed titles or animations to be included with
DV footage without requiring those elements to be re-rendered
at lower quality before output. An important feature
for DV output, it's even more important for output to
DVD, where the highest-quality graphic and animation
is critical for both the highest quality conversion
to MPEG.
Avid Mojo also includes connections
for composite and S-video. Adding an optional component
video cable allows the capture and output of a single
stream of uncompressed Y, Pr, Pb video, which includes
such popular formats as BetaSP.
Hardware scaling of draft
resolutions.
Draft previews trade off quality for performance. In
some cases, the desired levels of performance require
video quality to drop below levels of quality that may
be required for client approvals or final-stage editing.
Avid Mojo's hardware-accelerated scaling of draft resolution
footage means that you can have all the advantages of
both high quality images for detailed work and client
approval while enjoying the higher levels of performance
and storage efficiencies provide by draft-resolution
video.
Bi-directional signal
flow.
Other NLE hardware add-ons provide either signal in
or signal out, but Avid Mojo works in both directions,
all the time. One common scenario that this allows is
the ability to add voice-over narration through Avid
Mojo, while Avid Mojo is also playing out video to a
broadcast monitor. Avid Mojo simply provides for more
options for working the way that you want to work.
Portable DNA power.
While powerful enough to handle the needs of a professional
studio, only Avid Mojo is designed to also be used with
laptop computers, providing the first and only real-time
solution for portable video editing.
Avid Xpress Studio Complete
integration.
Use Avid Mojo as part of the ultimate content creation
suite to display the output from Avid 3D and Avid FX
on client monitor, as well as synchronize with Avid
Pro Tools LE and Digi 002 for an exceptionally powerful
combination of video and audio production.
