It is a bit confusing at the start, but if you read the Mac requirements at the bottom of the page it does state that it will be supported in a future release. The problem is that the link takes you to another page meant for Xpress Pro.
As far as workarounds, if the 2:1 was on an Adrenaline based system, you could always transcode to an Xpress Pro compatible resolution. And by the way, I am the king of workaorunds… Do you know how to get two rows of buttons in Xpess Pro?

First off all there is no Xpress Pro HD for the Mac, it currently exists for the PC only. The Mac version will be for an future release.
Secondly, Xpress Pro HD does not support 2:1 SD resolution, on Mac or PC. Check out the Avid Xpress Pro product pages at http://www.avid.com for detailed specification of supported resolutions.

If not shot at 24fps to begin with, it is a combination of a several things. Some of it has to do with the original lighting, composition, and camera moves.
In post, you can apply the FluidFilm effect from the FluidMotion tab – this creates a true 2:3 cadence from your 60 field material and keeps sync with your audio. Apply the effect to each video element and not a top track as transition can get pretty funky.
Then you can apply filters from Boris, Digital Film Tools, Sapphire, to give it a film grain, softly blown out whites, etc.
Some of this can also be achieved using color correction and applying a nice curve to the RGB master. See this quick how to on my website:

And for future productions, using a Greta Macbeth chart can you a solid start for color correction when used in post:

The one difficult look of film that is hard to achieve in video without external gear while shooting is limiting the depth of field and using it to lead the viewers eyes to the part of frame that you want them to. There are adapters you can rent but the rentals can be $$. There are also some DIY kits on the market. Check out http://www.dvxuser.com got a whole forum on these topics.

Hmmm, I don’t. Can you make a sequence of just the new material and try capturing that?

Mac, Windows?

Does it support MXF MediaFiles? Are you capturing as OMF?
-
Shouldn’t be a problem as long as you are aware you can’ use the Mojo on two systems at the same time…
😉
As long as the versions of XPress Pro are the same you won’t have to worry about which FPGA is always getting loaded at launch.

You need to be in a 23.976 project
You can only capture over direct FireWire connection (not via the hardware).
VFR support is coming by the end of the year.Michael

What model and version of Avid product are you running?

Are you in the color correction mode? Look under the menus over the right or left monitors (when you are in the three monitor view).
