I offer:

I'm not in front of an Avid right now, but I know there's a setting
that allows converting bit depth and sample rate during import/
capture. I don't think Avid can use 12-bit audio directly without
conversion.

Jess also asked:

as it's digitized? If not, can I simply transcode the audio to 16-bit
after digitizing?

I say:

You say you'll be using a first-generation MOJO. That's the one that
doesn't have any digital inputs or outputs. As such, the analog audio
inputs will be used receiving audio from the DSR-20's analog outputs.
You won't have any bit rate problems since analog audio has no
'bits'. ;) Since the audio will be analog, the MOJO will make the
correct bit rate audio for you as you capture.
