Yes, John.
The DVI signal for the third monitor comes from the primary video
display card, an nVidia GeForce GT-120 (OEM version). There are two
such cards installed, each with DVI Out. I suppose I could run a fourth
monitor if I really wanted or needed one.
The only HD project I've created on this system thus far is a 720p/59.94
project. When in this project, the MOJO's output "goes green" (full
static green screen) as soon as any video is accessed for playback.
Audio still passes through normally. The Video Output Tab does NOT
allow me to switch the output (downconvert) from the project's native
settings. I assumed this is due to hardware/firmware limitations of the
MOJO, and decided full-screen playback on monitor three would
circumvent the issue (hence the face-palm moment).
Happily, the full-screen playback option offers a better viewing
experience than down-converted SD though the MOJO. However, if you can
offer any insight into the Video Tab situation I'd appreciate it. I
likely missed something simple.
Legacy SD projects work fine with the MOJO. If/when switching to one I
can always plug the MOJO back in for firewire I/O when necessary. I
still own my Sony DSR-20 and Canon XL-1. I'm "old-school," baby!
