if you have any scopes or client monitors turn those on AFTER
everything else is up including Avid.

says that the Mojo DX has been a pretty stable piece of equipment and
thought someone must have been messing around in the back of the
system and jiggled something loose. The first time it happened he
fixed it by just unplugging everything and plugging it back in. Pretty
soon I was doing the same quite often and I know no one has been
behind the system.

at least, that anything plugged into Avid needs to be turned on after
Avid is up. Also everything plugged in should be turned off after you
have quite Avid, I actually turn everything off after the Mac is
shutdown entirely.

I wonder:

I'm jumping in late here, but as a video engineer, I know that what
you've described doesn't make much sense. HD-SDI should not be
involved in any way with the connection between the DX hardware and
the computer. If it does, it's voodoo engineering . . . . .
