Re: [Avid-L2] MXO2 LE

Avid would have to go out of their way to make MC5 not work with the other flavours of MXO2. From what I can determine, they all use the same driver and software. This makes it far less attractive because I have to continue to work in Final Cut Pro for some projects, but where I have the choice, I would opt for Avid.

And this is not about the money. It's less than $500 to have a Mini in addition to an LE. You can always unhook the Mini and plug in the LE, but what a pain in the butt workaround; AND FOR WHAT?? TO BE CLEAR - I am not asking for input through the other MXO2 variants; we just want to be able to monitor output as will be possible with the Mini. I'm sorry, but if this is true that an MXO 2 LE will not work, this is just typical Avid MO; nothing has changed - Welcome to XpressPro II.

Maybe I'll just stick with Final Cut Pro. There are no neutered flavours of FCP or Premiere for that matter.

PS, It just came to me; I think I know their game - SDI output on the MXO2 LE would mean you could do finishing work without a MOJO BS, There is only HDMI on the Mini. THIS IS PATHETIC AVID. Once again, WELCOME TO AVID XPRESSPRO II. This will not sell one more Mojo BS or Nitris DX. It just means Matrox will sell two boxes because you can always export a QT from MC and lay it to tape from FCP. I have already done that and may just write the definitive tutorial on how to do this.

And don't some Avid fanboy chime in with how much Avid boxes used to cost. That was then and this is now. Now, hardware is cheap. We have choices.
