Speed through integration: Mojo DX effects architecture
The Mojo DX architecture tightly connects the host workstation and PCI Express I/O hardware into a single high-bandwidth, high-performance effects engine that optimizes CPU and GPU performance for HD. Whether you're working with HDV, P2 HD, XDCAM HD, AVCHD, DVCPRO HD, QuickTime, GFCAM, Avid DNxHD, or a combination of multiple formats, frame rates, and resolutions, you get the world's most advanced film and editing system, plus capture and monitoring capabilities, with NewsCutter Mojo DX.

News editing done right
An array of special news, editing and voiceover tools, native support for file-based acquisition formats with direct mounting of and discs and cards, and integrated media management help you stay relaxed and focused on telling the best story. Avid's Open Timeline and mix and match real-time transcoding let you simply use material regardless of the format - and concentrate on the editing. When it's crunch time, the FrameChase feature lets you start editing just seconds after an ingest begins. And NewsCutter editing is fast, with a host of time-saving features and keyboard shortcuts, including direct drag-and-drop of clips and graphic cues in the timeline. When ready, send completed stories to air with a simple Send to Playback command, or use the included Sorenson Squeeze software to get your story to the Web.

Seamless integration into any workflow
You'll save valuable time with Avid Media Access (AMA) technology that lets you skip the import step and just start editing from the camera disc or card, with all metadata available. Or, use the shuttle knob on the deck to easily control capture into NewsCutter. Keep in sync with the story and the newsroom by opening an interactive iNEWS or ENPS session right inside NewsCutter. When you're ready to send to air, a simple drop down option moves the package directly to the AirSpeed Multi Stream HD/SD server, or to other play out servers to get the story on air in the shortest possible time.

Avid Media Access (AMA) file-based format support
Save time and maintain quality with direct mounting of removable camera media and supporting devices. Access P2, XDCAM, Canon, QuickTime, and GFCAM media files directly from discs or cards, along with all metadata. Edit the media in its native format without importing, and play out or write back directly to disk/card.

Engineered for collaboration

Sharing media, projects, and ideas
Unlike most non-Avid editing applications, NewsCutter is designed for collaboration, and seamless integration with Unity media networks means true collaboration on any scale. Multiple editing systems can play the same file, and even capture to the same volume, simultaneously.

Shared projects and bins
Because media bins (folders) are not linked to specific projects or users, editors working in a Unity environment can open bins from other projects, without having to copy media. And they can give other editors access to their bins, even while they are in use.

Quality that tells the story

Color Correction
Save time and retain quality with a fully integrated 10-bit color correction toolset. Use the one-click analysis tool to automatically correct each clip in a sequence, or the Avid-exclusive NaturalMatch to quickly and accurately match shots.

Titles and graphics
Complete all elements of your news story in your editing software. Add lower thirds, titles, and graphics using the fully integrated and easy-to-use tools. Create and save templates for a consistent, branded look and feel.
