*Manual Errata: Avid Mojo does not support Serial Digital Interface (SDI) I/O. Page 9 of the Avid Video Peripherals Guide installed with Pro Tools 6.6 erroneously states "Connect the Avid Mojo Composite IN, Component IN, S-Video IN, or SDI IN connectors to the corresponding output or outputs on your VTR." and "Connect the Avid Mojo Composite OUT, Component OUT, S-Video OUT, or SDI OUT connectors to the corresponding inputs on your VTR."
