What are these strange formats that you speak of ?

The Mojo is more about getting material in and out of the Avid than it is about quality.  Also, there are 3 Mojo versions depending on your needs, Mojo SDI, Mojo DX and Mojo Nitris DX.

1. Why do you ask me what strange format are these. These Stange Formats you're Asking me about are listed in The AE panel HD 720 HD 1080

2. I know what the Mojo does.

Does that work for You!

I'm sure Haze can hold his own here, but I'm bored so I'll jump in.

First when discussing video frame sizes it is common language to express the vertical lines value first - SD NTSC video is 720x486 that's 720 vertical lines wide by 486 horizontal lines high.

DV SD NTSC video is 480 horizontal lines high

HD video is broken into two classifications either 720 or 1080.  Both of these numbers refer to the number of horizontal lines.  The vertical lines can vary depending on the format.  You may see 1280x720 or 960x720 or 1440x1080 or 1920x1080.

There is no such thing as 760x1080 (or more appropriately would be written as 1080x760) and there is no such thing as 760x480.

Therefore, Haze is pointing out to you that you don't really know what you're asking about, so it's hard to know how to answer you.  

Most times, when dealing with HD material - you might only refer to the horizontal lines value.  (ie, "I'm working in a 1080i project")

I also find your questions very hard to decipher - it would be easier to read if you would add some modifiers like "What are" or "How do I" before your questions.

Your original post noted 760.   HD specs are 1280 x 720 and 1920 x 1080.  Your numbers were none of those things and I found it to be strange, that is all.

2. I know what the Mojo does.

OK, you know that Mojo is basically an I/O.  And you know that I/O's don't affect the quality.  Now if you're asking about performance that's a different story.  The Mojo Nitris DX has on board DNxHD processing, when you add in the distributed processing of the new software (3.0 and above) this means more real time HD streams.  The Mojo SDI is similar to the Mojo you have now except that it allows for SDI input.  The Mojo DX is stuck in the middle, there are many threads around here about the Mojo DX's place in the universe.  But hey, you probably already know all this so why am I bothering answering?

Why did you bother to answer,  I worked in Broadcasting with Techno Geek Know it All's like you.

It Amazes me been around Guys like you, You think because your so TECHNICALLY PROFICENT

I suspect they answered because you came into a community forum with questions/issues that perplexed the more experienced contributors within this forum.

It may not add to their personality, but that very 'technical proficiency' does add to their 'expertise' and depth or breadth of knowledge here in the very forum you are seeking help from.

Looking at the quality of the replies you've had, I'd say you should be rather thankful for the extended explanations offered so far (especially given that you initially and admitedly advertised that you are a 'newbie').

Your initial post is slightly confusing, because - as has already been pointed out - you make reference to clip resolutions that don't fit a particular standard dimension or convention.

Your stand-off-ish demeanour bemuses me very much.

I think when you ask a question you should take on borad what peoples response is and maybe even be nice and give more information and clarify your question if needed.

If you be nice then people responding will be nice and very helpful. If you be aggressive with your replys expect the same back and no or very little help with your problem.

Did you all just see what happened? The OPs answer just left the building with their attitude.

Please be nice.

Both Kenton and Haze are very helpful and have good track records helping such newbies as you profess to be.  However I feel certain that they are more than capable of defending themselves.  I have one question for you though.  Why did you ask the question at all?  If you continue to learn you might turn into a "Techno Geek Know it All" yourself, and given your attitude I would have thought that would be something that you'd wish to avoid.

For the record, I do not know it all - far from it.  I count on the generous forum users here to shed some light when working with the new formats and new work flows.  In return I try to help out when I can.  Learning is an endless process.  In our business the demands to stay on top of technology can be overwhelming.  Sometimes it feels like you're running just to keep your head above water.  But it's the nature of the beast.  And I'm not sure what I would do if I didn't work in television.

Like I said I'm not a know it all, however I did find out recently that I am a Techno Geek.  I attended a coupled of sessions at NAB that were highly technical.  I was quite surprised how much I enjoyed theses sessions.  I've always considered creativity to be number one and technical proficiency to be secondary.  Anyway, when I got back from NAB I told my wife about theses super geeky technical sessions and that I was surprised about how much I enjoyed them.  My wife says, "I hate to break it to ya honey, but you are kind of a geek".  All that said I suppose my proper title would be Creative Techno Geek.
