Will Mojito support 5.1 audio?

Hello James and thank you for your interests in Matrox products. The Matrox Mojito Max can capture SDI embedded audio (16 channels on Mac, 8 channels on PC), also 8 channels of embedded audio through HDMI. It can also out put the same audio. For 5.1 Direct surround sound monitoring you will need to use the Matrox MXO2 or the Matrox MXO2 Rack (the Rack also does 7.1).

I just need to monitor 5.1 output, can I not just use a 5.1 capable home theatre receiver with HDMI inputs?

Hello James and thank you for your continued interests in Matrox products. Can you let me know what Platform you will be working on, as well as which OS and software so we can test it here? Some applications allow you to map the Embedded audio tracks so there is not a clear yes/no answer to your question.

I researched a little more and purchased the MXO2 LE with MAX. According to the installation guide, I can connect the HDMI output to a home theatre receiver to monitor 5.1 audio (see page 35). Thank you for your help.
