Any other hardware compat with XpressPro besides Mojo?
Posted by Roman Mykytyn on June 22, 2005 at 7:41 pmHi,
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?

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