Avid Express Pro Academic v4.6 w/out Mojo

I recently talked to an Avid rep on the phone who confused me slightly about the issue of editing 24p advanced footage without Mojo. He said something about it not being a problem in Express Pro HD v 5.1 to edit 24P advanced footage without mojo, but that older versions of express pro needed mojo. Does anyone know if older versions mean any version before 4.6, or does editing 24PA without mojo only work in HD v5.1?
 
Versions previous to v.5.0 required a Mojo for output back to tape. V.5.0 eliminated the need for a Mojo for output, and v.5.1 allows for either ADVANCED or NORMAL pulldown to be captured directly over FireWire for native 24 frame editing (23.976).

V.4.x versions can capture 24p ADVANCED pulldown and a DVD can be created, but no real time playback or monitoring out to NTSC.

ah that makes more sense. So if all I'm concerned about is editing my footage and outputting the final product to DVD I'm fine without mojo, correct?
 
SCfilm are you at 4.6? Then if you are 24p advanced will not work (per Michael's info). Unless you go up past 4.6 (not yet on a mac) then it is 24p only not advanced. Someone correct if I am wrong.
 
24p ADVANCED on Mac and Windows on versions up to 4.6. For both you need a Mojo for outpout to NTSC - deck or client monitor.
 
hold up so 24p advanced works fine UP TO 4.6 AS WELL as 4.6 and 5.1 right? So basically the answer to my first question is that I'm fine as long as i'm outputting to DVD in any version w/out mojo (Basically MichaelP's first post is all I need to know).
