I just bought a used XPress Pro 5.7 [pc] with mojo (older analaog version) to go along with my Media Composer Adrenaline system.

I assumed there was going to be a monitor out, like my Adrenaline.  Now that I have it, I realize that I can get Component out of mojo (y/c + composite out) for a beta sp deck, but now Im tapped out of connectors for an NTSC monitor that only has Composite & Y/C inputs.

How do others connect your NTSC monitors when connecting Mojo to a component deck?  [For reference the beta sp deck is all the way in a machine room, running out of the MONITOR video output of the Deck is a possiblity but a last resort]

Thanks for your help.

You could get  a router and send the signal to both the deck and the monitor, or you could go into the monitor first, and pass through to the deck.

Good luck

To clarify, I am putting both Avids on a 4x4 router which will also give me rs-422 control.  I will also put onto the sytem a uvw-1800 deck & ajd-455 deck.

So both Avids will be able to feed & pull from both the dvcpro deck & beta sp [everything connected so I will never need to pull cables and 2 edit bays that can digitize or record to either deck].  But that ties up all 4 i/o's.

I think I could hook up the Component output of MOJO to a component Distribution amp send one feed to the router and convert one to y/c and run it to the local client monitor.  Is that logical, what type of unit would convert component to y/c?  Is there a way to go firewire out and break it into y/c (for the monitor)?  Is this logical, what unit are peiple using for this?

We have the component signal coming out of the mojo into a video DA for each channel.  One output of the DA's feeds our router, another out of the DA's feeds our component monitors.

You can convert component to S-Video with devices like these:
