Playing Back to a DV Device
If you are using Adrenaline, Mojo, or Mojo SDI input/output hardware, or if you do not have
Avid input/output hardware attached to your system (software-only), you can play back DV
media through a DV device.
Your options for playback of media to a DV device vary, depending on whether the media is
played back as DV 25, DV 50, or DVCPRO HD (DV 100).
• You can play back DV 25 media through a DV device attached to a 1394 port on your
computer. If you are using Avid Adrenaline, Avid Mojo, or Avid Mojo SDI input/output
hardware you can also choose to play back DV 25 media through that hardware. In some
cases, you also have the choice of using a hardware codec or a software codec. See
“Capturing DV 25 Media” on page 240.
• You can play back DV 50 or DVCPRO HD media through a 1394 port on your
computer. If you are using Avid Mojo SDI input/output hardware, you can also choose
to play back DV 50 or DVCPro HD media through the 1394 port on the Avid Mojo SDI.
Depending on your Avid input/output hardware, you might need to switch between the
hardware and a 1394 port on your computer from within your Avid editing application. For
more information, see “Selecting a DV Device” on page 241.

On a Windows system with an Avid Adrenaline or an Avid Mojo, the DV device needs to be
attached to a port on an optional IEEE-1394 card installed on a bus separate from the one
used by the Adrenaline or Avid Mojo. For Avid Mojo SDI systems, you can use the 1394 port
on the Avid Mojo SDI.
When you are playing back to a DV device, you have the option of enabling real-time
encoding of effects and mixed resolutions.
To play back to a DV device connected through a 1394 port:
1. If you are using Avid Adrenaline, Avid Mojo, or Avid Mojo SDI input/output hardware,
do one of the following to instruct your Avid editing application to play out through the
1394 port:
t Click the DNA/1394 button in the Timeline top toolbar to display DNA or 1394,
depending on how the DV device is connected.
t Select Special > Device, and then select Avid DNA or IEEE 1394, depending on
how the DV device is connected.
2. Right-click the Video Quality Menu button and select Output to DV Device.
Playback to the DV device and playback to the desktop occur simultaneously.

If you do not have a device connected to a 1394 port, these options are grayed out.
