Videoguys Notes
Videoguys Top 10 Products of 2008
Avid also introduced new MojoDX and Nitris DX hardware for Media Composer. The MojoDX was initially priced a bit too expensively to make our Videoguys' Top 10 list, but we now have a limited time promotion in the US that brought the cost of the hardware down below $5,000 for Media Composer owners. As a result we are giving MojoDX an honorable mention on this years list. (Call 800-3223-2325 to see if you are eligible for this special offer)
Avid Mojo DX gives you HD & SD in and output via SDI connection. You also get HDMI output for HD monitoring with 5.1 surround sound. While MojoDX does not offer any kind of real-time acceleration, adding it to Media Composer does make your editing more powerful. Avid redesigned the way Avid Media Composer 3 utilizes the power in your computer. By tapping into both CPU and GPU processing MC3 is more stable and more powerful than any other NLE on the market. By offloading some of the computer cycles needed for video display to the MojoDX, it frees up both CPU and GPU power for MC3 to tap into. So the end result is a pick up in performance by adding MojoDX.
