[Avid-L2] Re: 12-Bit Audio

Many thanks to Jeff, Roger, Bouke and Dennis for your feedback. The materials have been successfully edited, output, compressed & uploaded.

I appreciate the info that was passed along, especially regarding the analog output from the camera to MOJO's analog input. Two follow-up questions about that:

If I'm using a firewire cable to control the XL-1 (or any other device) via MOJO, will/would that digital connection override any analog connections? If the answer to that is "yes," then wouldn't I sacrifice time-code data if I pull the firewire (video) connection and substitute an analog (RCA or S-video) connection?

Thanks again.
