I have had a MP trashcan for a couple of years.
1. You must use Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 based break-out-box like BM's UltraStudio series or AJA's Io 4K or T-Tap.The MojoDX is officially supported via TB to HIB converter (if you can find it).
I have had great luck with the T-Tap to drive a reference monitor. It has Thunderbolt in, and both SDI & HDMI outputs. Avid, Premiere & After Effects all run well on it. It is a bit finicky with respect to firmware matching the MC or Premiere versions. Of course Resolve needs BM hardware to drive a client monitor.
2. Sorenson Squeeze, Adobe's MediaEncoder, Apple's Compressor and Telestream Episode are all capable encoders. Even BM's DaVinci Resolve Lite is more than capable for converting files in prepariation for post.
Haven't used Squeeze in years. Adobe Media Encoder screams on my 8 core trash can.
FWIW, Avid runs okay on the MP, but the Adobe apps seem to be much better optimized for it.

(the Mac was bought early 2015).I'm a little rusty on Avid developments though, so have a few questions.The last Avid system I used was hardware based (Adrenaline)This Avid system is a MacPro cylinder with Media Composer software only.Assuming the 6-core 32GB cylinder will be way more powerful than anything i've had before, so will there be any need for an additional hardware accelerator (Mojo or Nitris). I wont be needing any tape input or output, so what would i gain from the Mojo or Nitris?Dumb question - How do get video output from the Mac Pro? I see there's an HDMI port on the cylinder? Or do I need a Mojo or Nitris for video output options?)Is sorenson squeeze still the recommended third party application for background batch exporting?Finally, i've always used local raid storage, but looks like the move onto this system involves ditching the local storage and doing everything over the network (10gig fibre channel).In theory this should work, but any reason why this is a bad idea?Finally, are there still London user group meeting, (or failing that, anyone willing to give me a quick 10min run-through on the main software advances in the past 5 years?)I'm looking forward to getting back into Avid. I guess you never forgot the first system you learnt on.Many thanks for taking the time to read.Cheers,Chris
