Using the Avid Mojo DNA

10

Connecting Peripheral Equipment 

There are several possible cabling configurations depending on your 
camera, video deck, and client monitor. The audio and video output signals 
are available to each output connector at the same time. Video and audio 
cables are not included with the Avid Mojo DNA. Avid provides optional 
video cables that use the S-Video and Composite video connectors for a 
component connection to your deck. The following sections describe 
several possible connections:

Connecting Audio Signals

Connecting S-Video or DV Signals

Connecting a Client Monitor

Connecting a Video Deck — Component Signal

Controlling a Video Deck

Connecting Audio Signals

Audio input and output connections on the rear of the Avid Mojo DNA use 
standard RCA connectors. Audio connections require the following:

Four audio cables with RCA connectors on both ends of the cable. You 
can also use audio cables with RCA connectors on one end and XLR 
connectors on the other end. 

A video deck or audio device with audio input and output connections.
