Hi BLKDOG:

When might you be able to talk to us about a possible Mojo DX Light ?

I don't believe anyone said anything about any product whatsoever.....

Keep watching the boards.

Do you really want to know what's wrong...or do you just want me to fix it?

That was awesome.

It would be cool even to have Avid be happy with a Matrox solution - but if Avid wants to come up with their own hardware to let me monitor HD I'm there. I'd put down $2500 easy for that. The MojoDX is fine if you are dealing with tapes I guess....but I'm not.

What kind of CPU performance are you getting whilst rendering in SD and HD and in HQ or standard quality,

I'm typically am getting 40% accross 8 cores in a 1080i project at standard quality on a 3d transform, in HQ it only renders on one core.

In a SD project (PAL) I get less CPU usage.

....I'm getting 83 to 94% across 2 cores with an L2 Cache of 4 MB. I am almost always working in HD with HDV and I can clearly see two cores (Two windows in Windows Task Manager's Performance tab).

...No that's no typo. This is the number it says it is. I downloaded my upgrade from the Avid website. The website lists Avid Media Composer 3.0, but once installed it says 3.1.0.

Interesting. I downloaded mine from the /protected website 2 days ago and it definitely says 3.0 on the splashscreen and the "about" I wonder what the difference is, and why there are 2 versions. Did you also upgrade from 2.8.x?

There is no 3.1.0 release. It's a typo someplace.
