    Hi,

    Forgive my ignorance, but I just thought I’d throw it out there. Is there any other option for getting analog video into my XpressPro 4.6 Mac besides Mojo? Do the Decklink cards work?

    No. Only Avid hardware works with Avid software. That’s the way Avid works. In fact, Avid is actually a HARDWARE company that happens to make software.

    Decklink support in Avid would be wonderful, but it’ll never happen.

    Well third party integrated support would be nice; however, you can also add a Canopus converter for analog I/O to/from DV over 1394 (FireWire). You can still only work in the non-Mojo resolutions, but you do get conversion to/from standard audio and video.

    Sincerely,
    Oliver
