Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 4 www.aja.com
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
Io IP is a portable Thunderbolt 3 ingest and playback device for professional HD
video and audio over IP, bridging 10 GigE to the most popular creative software
applications.
Io IP has all the portable benefits of the AJA Io family line with two Thunderbolt 3
ports for flexibility. It works with AJA's Control Room, Control Panel software and
SDK tools, and provides support for leading content creation applications, such
as Adobe Premiere® Pro, Apple FCP X, Avid Media Composer®, FilmLight products
and more.
Designed as a flexible platform with support for SMPTE ST 2022-6, ST 2022-7,
and ST 2110 uncompressed IP video/audio, Io IP offers you the flexibility to keep
current as the IP transition proceeds. Io IP brings the highest quality 4K/UltraHD,
2K, HD, and SD video and audio over IP to computers running Mac or Windows
Operating Systems. Io IP can also support 4K/UltraHD p60 (2SI) capture or
playback, via SMPTE ST 2110-23.
Io IP is also supported through the very same SDK as the rest of the KONA family,
making it straight forward for developers to make the transition to Video over IP.
Io IP Features
Io IP is designed as a flexible platform for supporting various different IP
standards and types. See "Appendix A Specifications" on page 63 for a complete
listing.
NOTE: NDI is supported on Io IP in the same way as it is supported on KONA 4, Io 4K Plus
etc., courtesy of running Newtek Connect.
Physical Connection for IP Video
• 2x 10 Gb Ethernet SFP+ Cages (SFP+ modules not included)
Inputs and Outputs
• AJA Desktop Software package congured by default for 2022-6 operation
with two simultaneous uncompressed streams on SFP 1 (one In, one Out).
• For 2022-7 operation, a second SFP is used for redundant transport of the
other SFP's signals.
• SMPTE ST 2110 uncompressed HD video and over IP, including Transmit
support for the 2022-7 standard, thus providing for playout redundancy. The
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 5 www.aja.com
maximum resolution and frame rate supported for ST 2110 via ST 2022-7 is 2K/
HD 60p.
• KONA IP can also be congured to use all streams for input or output, thus
supporting up to 4K p60 uncompressed transport via ST 2110-23. There is no
ST 2022-7 support when using ST 2110-23 to achieve 4K/UHD I/O with Io IP
• Dedicated 3G SDI monitor output
• Dedicated HDMI 2.0 output
• HDR signaling and monitoring for HDR10 and HLG. HLG support is application
dependent. Check with your software manufacturer for compatibility.
Digital Audio Input
• 16-Channel embedded audio
Digital Audio Output
• 16-Channel embedded audio, 16- and 24-bit per channel, 48 kHz sample rate,
synchronous
• 8-Channel HDMI embedded audio, 48 kHz sample rate, synchronous
Balanced Analog Audio Input and Output
A 25-pin connector provides 8-channel balanced analog audio. The eight analog
audio channels can be configured in four different ways:
• Ch 1-8 Output
• Ch 1-4 Input and Ch 5-8 Output
• Ch 1-4 Output and Ch 5-8 Input
• Ch 1-8 Input
Signal Timing
• 1x BNC assignable to reference video or LTC input
Internal HD/SD Hardware Downstream Keyer
Io IP provides a powerful hardware keyer that can place graphic files with an
alpha channel over video in a selectable matte or the contents of the card’s
framebuffer from a software application. Key a bug or text over picture and avoid
what might normally be a lengthy software render. Also, working with these
software applications, you can key video that has an alpha-channel over video
input or a matte. For example, you can play a QuickTime clip that has an alphachannel (a flying logo generated in the Animation codec) and then place it over
live video coming into the card and then passing both on to a VTR for recording
or broadcast.
NMOS Support
A separate application, “AJA NMOS”, supports automatic discovery of IP devices
on the network, using an app (daemon) that operates in the background without
user configuration. The first AJA device accessed by the computer running
the daemon can be discovered and subject to control by an external NMOS
network control application. NMOS uses the IP address of the host machine for
communications.
Generally, NMOS works as follows:
• When Io IP starts up, the NMOS app actively scans the network for an NMOS
registry using MDNS/DNS. If found, the NMOS registry is informed who the
Io IP device is, and its capabilities.
• If during startup the NMOS registry is not found, the NMOS app continues to
announce Io IP's presence via MDNS so that it can later be discovered, and
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 6 www.aja.com
then after discovery, it can be manually registered in the network control
application.
AJA Software & Utilities
Io IP operates with AJA's Desktop software package, developed for powerful
integrated video/audio capture, editing, and production with a variety of 3rdparty software. AJA software is distributed as a unified package which includes all
the software, firmware, plug-ins, and utility programs for the Io IP, as well as AJA’s
Io, KONA, and T-TAP products.
Two retail packages are available, one for Mac and one for Windows.
Mac and Windows Packages
These packages include:
Firmware
Firmware, otherwise referred to as a bit file or the card's 'personality', refers to
very low level code that defines the capabilities of the hardware. It is important
to always update to the firmware recommended following install of new, or older
versions of software.
Drivers
AJA device drivers for the host system OS provide tightly integrated hardware/
software operation.
AJA Control Panel
The Control Panel provides:
• Source selection and control of your AJA hardware
• A block diagram to show visually what routing and processing is being
performed
AJA Control Room
Control Room is a cross-platform software application for ingest, playback and
output with AJA products.
AJA System Test
AJA System Test provides accurate and detailed evaluations of drive and system
performance statistics, allowing you to measure the capabilities of your system
for recording and playing back various resolutions and codecs. The application
includes:
• System Disk Test
• AJA Device Test
• Disk + Device Test
• System Report
The application tests Read and Write, Capture and Playback speeds in both
Megabytes per second and Frames per second. The disk speed tests differ from
standard disk I/O performance applications in that they specifically test the
system under conditions typically encountered with video capture, playback, and
editing.
NOTE: Theoretically the best test (or simulation) is to fill your storage disk to 80% and
then test capture at the highest data rate you will use.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 7 www.aja.com
3rd-Party Plug-ins
Plug-ins for popular 3rd-party Professional Video Applications from Adobe, Avid,
Apple, Telestream, and others.
NMOS App
Available for automatic discovery of IP devices.
Network Requirements
For uncompressed workflows (SMPTE ST 2022-6/7 and SMPTE ST 2110) a 10GbE
switch is required.
For SMPTE ST 2110 specifically, a PTP clock source must also be deployed and the
switch must therefore also be PTP aware.
In all cases the switch used must be both managed (configurable) and IGMP
aware.
SFPs are not included with the purchase of Io IP. Recommended SFPs are listed in
"Specifications" on page 63.
System Requirements
Your system should meet minimum hardware and software requirements to
achieve a satisfactory level of performance. Updates to system requirements are
subject to change.
NOTE: See Software Vendor system requirements for GPU and additional hardware
recommendations.

Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 8 www.aja.com
NOTE: For large scale installations with shared storage, or for very high performance
requirements, consultation with an experienced a system integrator is
recommended. A consultant will be able to assist with many important variables.
Disk Storage Methods
To ensure performance and quality, the disk storage system used with
the workstation must be able to meet the demands of storing real-time
uncompressed media. At the very minimum, the disk storage system must be
able to provide and maintain a consistent transfer rate from the workstation to
disk (read/write). There are a variety of system configurations and peripherals that
can provide this level of performance.
For more on disk storage performance see "AJA System Test" on page 7.

HDMI Output
A full-size HDMI connector on the Io IP endplate provides HDMI 2.0 capability.
HDMI also supports multi-channel embedded audio (8 channels). HDCP is not
supported on the output. HDMI Output also supports HDR (HDR10 and HLG).
Reference Video
When in SMPTE 2022-6/7 mode, Io IP can lock to reference analog or tri-level
input, or the incoming SMPTE 2022-6/7 stream.
For analog reference, a single BNC on the Io IP endplate allows you to synchronize
Io IP outputs to your house analog or tri-level reference video signal (or black
burst). If you have a sync generator or central piece of video equipment to use
for synchronizing other video equipment in your studio, connect its output here.
When Io IP outputs video in SMPTE 2022-6/7 mode, it locks to this reference
signal. When connecting a reference video source, the locking signal should be
the same format as the Primary format selected in Io IP software. It is possible in
some circumstances to use an alternate format video signal if the basic frame rate
is compatible.
Io IP can also lock to an incoming SMPTE 2022-6 signal, or it can free run.
Balanced Analog Audio Input and Output
A 25-pin connector provides 8-channel balanced analog audio, 24-bit 48kHz
sample rate D/A and A/D, for use with an industry standard 8x XLR on DB-25
breakout cable (cable not included). The eight analog audio channels can be
configured four different ways:
• Ch 1-8 Output
• Ch 1-4 Input and Ch 5-8 Output (default setting)
• Ch 1-4 Output and Ch 5-8 Input
• Ch 1-8 Input

Io IP supports NMOS (Networked Media Open Specifications), using a standalone AJA NMOS application. The AJA Installer does not install the AJA NMOS
application by default. You must select NMOS using the "Custom" option during
installation, and to enable this feature you will also need to manually launch this
application and be connected to a network that has a running NMOS control
application.
NOTE: If you do not install AJA NMOS on your computer, NMOS control systems will not
be able to register or control Io IP.
Important MacOS High Sierra Installation Information
With the introduction of macOS High Sierra (v10.13), Apple now requires that third
party application developers be identified during kernal extension installations.
Failure to do so will make AJA devices fail to operate (Unsupported AJA Device).
Depending on your macOS version and AJA Desktop Software installation history,
the following installation outcomes are possible:
MacOS Sierra and Earlier Supported Versions
No problems exist for AJA software installation or updates with these earlier
versions of macOS.
Earlier MacOS to High Sierra Update
No problems should occur if you already have the AJA Desktop Software package
installed on macOS Sierra (or earlier) and update your Mac to High Sierra. The
identification of AJA as a trusted developer is passed from the earlier macOS to
the High Sierra macOS.
MacOS High Sierra First AJA Desktop Software Install
No problems should occur if your Mac is running High Sierra macOS, you install
AJA Desktop Software for the first time, and you follow the instructions shown
during installation (Figure 3).
Figure 3. MacOS High Sierra Blocked Message Prompt
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 13 www.aja.com
Do NOT click OK. Instead click Open Security Preferences (or go to System
Preferences>Security and Privacy) and then click Allow for AJA Video Systems
developer (Figure 4).
Figure 4. MacOS High Sierra System Preferences, Allow Developer
NOTE: If after successful installation, you remove AJA applications from your computer
using the AJA Uninstaller, developer identification is retained by macOS High
Sierra. Re-installation should proceed without any problems.
Recovery from Installation Approval Failure
If you just clicked OK during installation and skipped the developer approval
step, the AJA Desktop Software installation will complete, but essential extension
installations will not occur and AJA devices will not be operational (Unsupported
AJA Device).
Apple has engineered a time window, within which you can belatedly approve
a developer after a partial installation. If you go to System Preferences>Security
and Privacy, within 30 minutes of a partial installation, the developer message
and Approve button will be available for use. After 30 minutes, however, the
message and button are removed from the window. Recovery from this involves
uninstalling all AJA files (some manually), reinstalling the AJA Desktop Software
package, and clicking on Allow for AJA Video Systems developer.
Recovery Procedure
1. Run the AJA Uninstaller, located in the AJA Utilities folder in the Mac
Applications folder.
2. Access the Users Library, which is hidden. To access the library:
A. Go to the Finder.
B. In the Finder Menu Bar and click on Go.
C. Hold down the Option key. The Library folder appears as long as the
Option key is held down.
3. Go to Library>Preferences and delete all com.aja.*.* les. There may be
one le or several les.
4. Remove AJA Control Panel from the Dock, if applicable.
5. Restart the Mac.
6. Install the AJA Desktop Software package.
7. During installation click on Open Security Preferences (or go to System
Preferences,>Security and Privacy).
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 14 www.aja.com
8. Under the General tab click on the Allow button for AJA Video Systems.
The button is only available for 30 minutes.
Io IP Firmware Installation
IM PORTAN T: The firmware installed in your Io IP card should match the version of the
AJA software package. If a mis-match is present, the Io IP card may not work and
a "Not Valid, device needs firmware update" message will be displayed. Always
update the firmware of your Io IP card when you install an AJA software package.
Types of Io IP Firmware
AJA Desktop Software can provide the Io IP with two different personalities, or
modes of operation.
• SMPTE ST 2022-6/7 operation (s2022) uses the IoIP s2022 rmware bitle
• SMPTE ST 2110 operation (s2110) uses the IoIP s2110 rmware bitle
Switching between these different Io IP operating modes requires loading the
appropriate firmware bitfile as listed above.
By default, newly purchased Io IP hardware will come pre loaded with ST 2022
firmware. Loading the s2110 bitfile will provide that functionality.
Cabling the System
See "Rear Panel Connectors" on page 10.
Io IP Cable Connections
For 2022-6 and 2022-7 operation, 10GbE infrastructure can be connected
with either a short (3 feet) Direct Attached cable, or optical fiber cable with
appropriate SFPs.

SFP Module Connections
For SMPTE 2022-6 / SMPTE 2022-7 operation (s2022), modules inserted into the
two SFP+ cages can be used to connect two separate 10 Gigabit Ethernet Links.
With AJA Desktop Drivers, the SFP 1 and 2 modules are configured using AJA
Control Panel software, using the Input, Output, and Network Settings tabs. In
most cases, only SFP 1 will be used, providing up to two total streams of SD or
HD video, each with 16 audio channels and metadata, for simultaneous input or
output, i.e. when using SMPTE 2022-6. Both links are bi-directional (one In, one
Out). When in SMPTE 2022-7 mode SFP 2 carries a duplicate of the Upper SFP data.
For a list of SFP+ modules tested by AJA, see "Appendix A Specifications" on page
63.
Redundant video transport

a network path fails.
Unicast and Multicast Support
Io IP supports both unicast and multicast operation. Unicast operation is point to
point, from one sender to one receiver. Multicast operation is from one sender to
possibly multiple receivers. In both cases, the sender transmits information to a
location (IP address) on the network, and receivers access that information over
the network using that location IP address. Compatible IP addresses are required
for each type of operation. These network settings filter the IP addresses so the
information is sent successfully to the desired receiver(s).
IM PORTAN T: Proper network configuration settings vary, depending on your particular
network environment. Because the process can be complicated, you should
always consult with your facility's IP or Networking Engineering department
before configuring Io IP network settings.
Listed below are example sets of compatible IP addresses that could be used in
an isolated network to test Io IP network operation.

Using Io IP with Professional Video /Audio Software
After you install the AJA software package on your computer, you’re ready to
begin capturing and playing back video and audio using your choice of thirdparty software. You can go here for AJA software and documentation:
https://www.aja.com/en/support/downloads
For further support information and downloads for third-party software, go to:
https://www.aja.com/compatibility/io
Frequently Asked Question documents for various AJA products are available at:
https://www.aja.com/products/kona-ip#support
Capture Formats
When capturing, you can record data in the following file formats:
• DPX
• TGA
• BMP
• QuickTime
• MXF
NOTE: Support by Io IP of QuickTime for Windows has been discontinued. Instead, AJA
supports ProRes family capture and playback for macOS and Windows via AJA
Control Room.
NOTE: Other file types can be captured using third-party capture applications such as
Sienna, Softron, Tools on Air, Drastic Technologies, or Quadrus.
AJA Control Panel Overview
The AJA Control Panel is a software application that provides a simple visual
showing how the Io IP hardware is currently configured and allows you to make
changes. You can change signal input and output parameters and define the
video processing that will be performed.
The AJA software installer automatically installs the Control Panel application on
your computer.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 18 www.aja.com
Framebuer
AJA Control Panel User Interface
The AJA Control Panel user interface includes a visual block diagram of the unit’s
current configuration. The current status, input and output settings, and many
other details are depicted in the color-coded block diagram. Below this block
diagram are various controls for changing operating parameters, which will vary
depending on which function screen has been selected.
The left side of the AJA Control Panel provides a navigation list of available
function screens. Clicking on a link (or alternatively, a related element in the block
diagram) displays a function screen corresponding to that topic.
NOTE: Although Io IP is sending and receiving video over IP, once that data is decoded
to memory it is governed by the same video menus used for SDI and HDMI based
AJA I/O solutions.

Block Diagram Area
The top block diagram area of the Control Panel screen is a visual representation
of the processing, if any, that’s currently occurring, including inputs/outputs,
reference source, and system status. Lines between inputs, the framebuffer, and
outputs, show a video path. Where there are no lines, there is no connection; this
can be because an input or output isn’t selected in the Input Select menu. The
lines will also show whether the outputs are video or video + key.
You can click any of the function screen selection links in the left column to view
its current settings or click on an icon to call up its related settings screen. You can
also right-click or Control-click to see context-sensitive information and choices.

Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 19 www.aja.com
Color Meanings
All items in the AJA Control Panel block diagram are color-coded to show what is
happening in real time. This applies to both icons and text. These colors indicate:
Blue - Video is same format as the Primary Format (framebuffer)
Yello w - Reference video (black burst or other reference source)
Red - The selected operation cannot be performed
Input/Output Icons
The input and output icons are triangles that together with their color show all
the input and outputs and their status (selected, not selected, input present or
not, format, etc.). A complete video path is shown when inputs and outputs are
connected with lines going to/from the framebuffer.
Figure 9. Input/Output Icons
Framebuffer
The framebuffer is the “engine” where your third-party applications interface with
the AJA device. The framebuffer has a format (called the “Primary Format”) and
color space that it follows, as defined in the linked menu screens or via external
application software.
Primary Format
The Primary Format is the media format written to disk and used in your project.
This is the format that the framebuffer will use and is shown in the Control Panel
using the color blue. It is the format that the third-party application software will
either receive from the AJA hardware, or is sending to the hardware. All icons in
blue are the same as the Primary Format used by the framebuffer. Also any text
descriptions in the block diagram that appear in blue indicate that something is
in the primary format.
Controlling Application
Figure 10. Control Panel In Use Message (in red)
In the top right corner, the Control Panel displays the name of the application
controlling the unit. In some cases, applications may not always properly “let go”
of the I/O interface as another takes over—you’ll be able to tell by looking at the
Control Panel.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 20 www.aja.com
Presets
Setups can be named and saved as a snapshot (Preset) for recall at any time. You
can save various AJA device Control Panel configurations associated with your
frequent tasks. You don’t have to spend time resetting interface configurations,
just load the previously saved Preset for each task. See "Saving, Loading and
Deleting Presets" on page 50 for more information.
If you work on multiple systems and want to carry your saved setups to another
location, you can copy your saved Preset files on to movable storage and load
them into any computer running the AJA Control Panel application.
Mac OS Preset Files Storage Location
• From the Finder, hold down the Option key (to display the Library directory)
and click on Go/Library/Application Support/AJA/<device name>/Presets/
Windows Preset Files Storage Location
• c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\AJA\Control Panel\<device name>
Presets\
NOTE: When you visually browse to the above location, depending on Windows OS
setting you may not be able to visually see the folder referred to in the path.
Instead, you have to fill out the rest of the Windows path manually (i.e. type the
rest of the address in the navigation bar when you hit the "end" of the browsing
path).
Default Preferences
When an AJA device starts up, a preference can determine what settings it will
have it when it begins to operate. The AJA Control Panel offers two default
preference settings:
• Local Preference - A preference stored from the last AJA device's Control Panel
settings to be used on next startup of AJA Control Panel. This occurs on next
restoration of the default state (triggered by start up of host CPU, startup of
the AJA device, or when a third-party application releases the AJA device).
• Global Preference - A preference saved for use as a global default start state
for an AJA device that can be shared by multiple users, applied on rst startup,
or by pressing the Control Panel Reset Device... button.
Local Preference
The Local Preference file (com.aja.devicesettings) exists to immediately and
automatically store all parameter changes made by a user on a particular AJA
device. When any control is changed in the Control Panel, that change is recorded
in the Local Preference file stored in a unique location on that computer that is
dedicated to that particular device, serial number, and logged-in user. Then, when
AJA Control Panel is restarted for any reason, the AJA device being controlled
restores the settings being used when Control Panel was last closed.
The Local Preference file can be accessed at the following locations.
On Mac:
• From the Finder, hold down the Option key (to display the Library directory)
and click on Go/Library/Preferences/com.aja.devicesettings.
On Windows:
• C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Local\aja\com.aja.devicesettings
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 21 www.aja.com
NOTE: Clicking on the AJA Control Panel "Erase All Prefs" button deletes the existing
Local Preference file from this location. This file will be recreated as soon as any
Control Panel setting is changed.
NOTE: Clicking on the AJA Control Panel "Reset Device..." button will delete the existing
Local Preference file. If a Global Preference file is found, these settings are
reloaded. If a Global Preference file is not found, “factory defaults” are loaded and
the device is set to that state
Global Preference
An administrator can establish a house standard for an AJA device by copying
a preference file to a shared computer location. Once placed at that location, it
becomes a Global Preference file where it will establish a standard default startup
state for all users of that AJA device using that computer system. These settings
preempt the initial AJA factory default settings, and are applied when an AJA
device is first powered up, or when the Control Panel Reset Device button is
pressed.
To establish a Global Preference, the administrator first configures the AJA device
(which automatically creates a "com.aja.devicesettings" Local Preference file in
the location identified above) and then copy or move or that file to the correct
computer locations (manually or by pushing it out across the network) on all the
computers that use the AJA device.
NOTE: If the user makes changes to an AJA Device's Control Panel settings, those
changes are saved to the Local Preference file, which will take priority over the
Global Preference file.
The shared computer locations for a Global Preference file are:
On Mac:
• From the Finder, click on Go/Computer/<System HD>/Users/Shared/AJA/
and copy or move the "com.aja.devicesettings le" described above to this
location.
NOTE: The "AJA" folder needs to be created manually at this location before moving the
preference file into it.
On Windows there are three possible shared locations depending on your system:
• C:\Users\Public\Aja\
• C:\Users\All Users\Aja\
• C:\ProgramData\Aja
Copy or move the "com.aja.devicesettings file" described above to one of
these locations.
NOTE: The AJA Control Panel Info screen displays the path to the Global Preference file
on that computer.
NOTE: Clicking on the AJA Control Panel Erase All Prefs button does NOT delete an
existing Global Preference file from this location.
Io IP Audio Monitoring
Io IP hardware can be used as your single audio monitoring solution whether
you are auditioning music in a web browser, playing a movie file on the desktop,
creating music, or playing a YouTube clip. As long as the output of your work
or application is normally output via the host system audio, your AJA hardware
can route this audio for monitoring. This cuts down on unnecessary cabling, and
means you can take advantage of a consistent audio monitoring environment
whatever you are currently doing with your host system.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 22 www.aja.com
NOTE: On first use, you will need to tell your operating system to use AJA hardware as
the default Input and Output hardware.
Io IP lets you listen to Host System audio concurrently with your NLE audio. This is
useful if you need to audition music tracks against playback of your NLE timeline,
or if you need to Skype with a remote producer during an edit session, or for a
myriad of other reasons.
You can also listen to Io IP Input concurrently with your NLE (with the exception of
Avid Media Composer). This is useful if you need to listen out for the readiness of
talent, or the presence of some other feed, whilst you continue to work.
Io IP audio monitoring is routed and mixed using the Control Panel application's
Audio Mixer screen. You can select sources to be monitored, and can adjust
their levels. If you are using the 1/4 inch monitor output connector, an additional
overall mix gain control is conveniently available on the Io IP's front panel.
The mixed audio monitor signal is routed to:
• Front Panel Monitor Output (headphone jack)
• SDI Embedded Audio Out
• HDMI Embedded Audio Out
• Analog Audio Out (via DB25 cable)
IM PORTAN T: Even though you can hear changes in the signals and levels adjusted with
the Audio Mixer screen, these changes are NOT recorded to disk during NLE
Capture or Audio Punch In / Voice Over to Timeline. The Audio Mixer screen is
dedicated for monitoring only, not program mixing.

About Io IP Modal Operation
Io IP cards support modal operation. Functionality depends on what firmware
has been installed on that card. Different Control Panel screens are displayed,
depending on the operating mode.
For Io IP you can choose to install:
• Io IP s2022—For use only with ST 2022-6/7 full bandwidth video, and supports
use of two SFPs for up to four uncompressed HD streams.
• Io IP ST 2110—For use only with full bandwidth video, supports use of two
SFPs for up to two input and two output uncompressed HD streams, and
permits transport of individual video or audio streams, or a set of multiple
video and audio streams.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 24 www.aja.com
Most ST 2022 Mode functionality also resides in ST 2110 Mode, with some
exceptions.
Control Panel Operation in s2022 Mode
Control Screen
The Io IP card can be controlled by various software applications running on
a host computer. The Control screen is where you select how the Io IP directs
video and is used by application software. This screen also provides control for
configuring output timing with regard to external reference video and horizontal/
vertical delay. The top of the Control Screen shows the currently selected AJA
device if more than one is available in your system.
Default Output
This is where you select what the Io IP card will output as a default when no
application has control of the board, such as when the Mac Finder or Windows
Navigation Pane is active. Since Io IP can be controlled by software applications
as well as its own control panel, the output can change dynamically. When you
select many video applications, they will take control of the Io IP inputs and
outputs. However, when an application that doesn’t take control is active, these
settings determine what Io IP will output.
Input Passthrough
This selection directs Io IP to route video from its selected input through the card
for processing and output.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 25 www.aja.com
Test Pattern
This selection directs the Io IP card to output a choice of preset pattern when no
other application is using the Io IP card. You can choose from:
• Black, Color Bars (75% or 100%), Ramp, Multiburst, Line Sweep, Multi Pattern,
or Flat Field, Check Field, White, Border, Linear Ramp, Slant Ramp, Zone Plate,
and Color Quadrant
In addition to the preset test pattern choices, a “Load File...” selection at the
bottom of the menu allows you to load any standard RGB graphics file (.tif,.psd,
etc.) into the frame buffer for display.
While in Test Pattern mode, you can select RGB or YUV output via a pulldown
menu.
NOTE: The graphic file will not be scaled to fit. If it’s smaller than the current frame
buffer format, Io IP will center it in the frame. If it’s larger than the current frame
buffer format, it will be cropped on the right and bottom. Also some graphics
formats and bit depths may not be supported. Once a graphic file is loaded into
the frame buffer it will be retained until it is overwritten by another graphic or test
pattern, or when power is turned off. Graphic file names are only “remembered”
in the menu until the AJA Control Panel application closed.
Hold Last App
This selection directs Io IP to hold and output the last frame of video from the last
application to control Io IP. This can be helpful when operating in an environment
where you’re switching back and forth between multiple application windows.
Playback Timing
Use these controls to set Genlock and Timing adjustment.
Genlock
Selects how Io IP will synchronize program video:
• Freerun - In this mode, Io IP generates sync without an external reference
source
• Ref In - Directs Io IP to use the Ref Video source for sync (usually an analog
black burst video signal)
• Video In - Directs Io IP to use whichever video input source has been selected
in the Inputs Screen for sync
Timing (Horiz and Vert):
These two pull-downs allow output timing adjustment with reference to the Ref
Video source selected:
• Horizontal selects a number of pixels (clocks) to oset
• Vertical species a number of lines to oset
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 26 www.aja.com
Format Screen
The Format Screen shows the video format currently in use by the Io IP
framebuffer (called the Primary Format) and allows you to change it. All
throughout the Control Panel, choices are always presented based on what Io IP
can do with the signals available and the inputs/outputs selected.
Primary (Frame Buffer) Format
Format
This pull-down menu shows the currently selected format. When a change is
made via the Video Format pull-down or by clicking an icon and selecting a new

Audio Ch
An Audio Channel pulldown allows you to select the number of embedded audio
channels for the HDMI output.
Protocol
The Protocol pull down allows you to choose between two “Auto” modes, or to
explicitly force the output to a desired protocol.
• Auto Detect - (most reliable) AJA device attempt to recongure the HDMI
output to match the current protocol setting of the output monitor. This
option will be the most reliable in creating an output image. However, the
output may result in loss of audio.
• Auto Set - (best quality) The AJA device HDMI out will attempt to
automatically set the output monitor into the best protocol, usually HDMI.
• HDMI - Forces the use of the HDMI protocol regardless of the attached
device’s EDID. Connection may fail if output monitor does not support the
HDMI protocol.
• DVI: - Forces the use of the DVI protocol regardless of the attached device’s
EDID.
Color Space
The Color Space pulldown allows you to choose between two “Auto” modes, or
to explicitly force the output to a desired color space regardless of the attached
device’s EDID or user application needs.
• Auto Detect - (most reliable) AJA device attempt to recongure the HDMI

• O - HDR Mode disabled (default)
• DCI-P3 D65 - Only Display Mastering Luminance available for Digital Primaries
• BT.2020 - Typically used with HDR
• Custom - Allows custom values for the Digital Primaries
EOTF
The Electrical Optical Transfer Function metadata bit tells the HDMI display which
EOTF to use. Most TV’s will require this to be set to ST 2084 for their HDR modes.
• Trad Gamma SD
• Trad Gamma HD
• ST 2084 (HDR-10)
• HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) - No meta-data for Digital Primaries.
Ext. Color
Most TV’s require this be set to Non-Const Luma to go into their HDR modes.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 32 www.aja.com
Digital Primaries
Selecting Custom HDR Mode allows the editing of digital primaries information
that is passed as metadata accompanying the video signal. However, when HLG
selected as the EOTF digital primaries information cannot be edited, because HLG
does not use metadata.
Display Mastering Luminance
Represents the minimum and maximum Display Mastering Luminance.
• Minimum: Denes the oor of the SMPTE ST 2086 color volume (in the case of
HDR) and is determined by the mastering environment.
• Range: 0.0000 cd/m2 to 1.0000 cd/m2.
• Step size: 0.0002 cd/m2.
• Maximum: Denes the ceiling of the SMPTE ST 2086 color volume (in the case
of HDR) and is determined by the mastering environment.
• Range: 1 cd/m2 to 65535 cd/m2.
• Step size: 1 cd/m2.
Maximum Content Light Level (CLL)
Represents the highest-value pixel component in an entire scene. It is
determined by analyzing each frame of video, and can be determined in the post
environment.
• Range: 1 cd/m2 to 65535 cd/m2.
• Step size: 1 cd/m2.
Maximum Frame Average Light Level (FALL)

This setting controls how the analog audio inputs and outputs are configured.
Select from:
• 8-Out (Ch 1-8 output)
• 4-In 4-Out (Ch 1-4 input, Ch 5-8 output)
• 4-Out 4-In (Ch 1-4 output, Ch 5-8 input)
• 8-In (Ch 1-8 input)
Delay In
Here you can set up to 6 frames (in tenths of a frame) of input audio delay.
Delay Out
Here you can set up to 6 frames (in tenths of a frame) of output audio delay. The
AJA Control Panel delays all audio outputs—SDI, HDMI, and Analog.
IM PORTAN T: If you use Control Panel delay, do not use other delay settings in your
applications, as they can conflict.
Audio Mixer Screen
The Audio Mixer screen has two tabs; Playback and Capture. These tabs display
what sources are available for monitoring / mixing via the AJA hardware when
in either of those two modes (if applicable). The controls on this screen are
dedicated only to monitoring adjustments, and do not affect the level at which
inbound audio signals are captured to storage.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 35 www.aja.com
The selection check boxes and screen slider controls affect the following Io IP,
outputs:
• SDI Embedded Audio Out
• HDMI Embedded Audio Out
• Analog Audio Out (via DB25 cable)
• Front Panel Monitor Out (headphone jack) - This level can also be adjusted
with the front panel gain knob, and is additive to the screen slider controls.
IM PORTAN T: Even though you can hear changes in the signals and levels adjusted
with the Audio Mixer screen, these changes are NOT recorded to disk during
NLE Capture or Audio Punch In / Voice Over to Timeline. In addition, muting or
activating sources on this screen will not affect audio signals being recorded. The
Audio Mixer screen is dedicated for monitoring only, not program mixing.
The branching arrow on the lower right indicates which sources are being routed
for monitoring in that operating mode, and is colored blue when active and red
when disabled.
Each source has a confidence meter, which enables you to tell immediately if you
have a source arriving correctly at the AJA hardware (without having to launch
any other software). The level sliders allow a simple plus or minus adjustment to
the Source level being monitored. This is to allow for fine-tuning of your listening
environment (on occasions the host system audio can be unexpectedly loud, or
an incoming feed may be very loud or very quiet).
Two different Audio Mixer screens are available, selected by clicking on the
Playback Monitor or Capture Monitor tabs. During regular editing, the Playback
tab is used to control your monitoring experience. During capture operations, the
Capture tab is used for your monitoring experience.
Controls in each tab are only in effect when Io IP, is in the correct operating
mode, as determined by the controlling application or the Control Panel
application's Default Output setting. When the mode doesn't match, the mode
indicator on the right goes red (see Figure 51 on page 69). However, settings can
be adjusted while in that disabled mode, and will be applied when you return to
that operating mode.

Audio Mixer Playback Monitor Tab
Playback Source Selection
Clicking the On checkbox selects the audio for that item for playback to the audio
monitor outputs. Multiple sources can be selected simultaneously.
Main App
If an external application is controlling the Io IP,, it will be displayed in the Item
Select column and its audio can be selected for playback with the checkbox.
AJA Input
Selects for monitoring the audio being input to Io IP,.
NOTE: The AJA Input Item Select dropdown selection is linked to the Input Select screen's
Audio Input Select dropdown. Changing the setting on one screen will also
change the setting on the other screen.
In the Item Select column, click on the dropdown and choose from:
• Analog - The Analog Audio being received on the Io IP, DB-25 connector.
• IP Ch 1-16 - The embedded audio being received by the Io IP.
Host Audio
Selects the audio from the host computer, thus enabling the AJA hardware to
monitor anything that would normally be presented via the host laptop, CPU or
computer monitor. For example, an editor could sample music from an online
library, while concurrently playing back their NLE timeline. Or, a producer and
editor could be communicating live during an editing session, using Skype or
some other video calling tool.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 37 www.aja.com
Source Gain
Meters display the input audio levels of the source, colored green when that
source is On, and gray when that source is not selected. The levels shown do not
change when the gain is adjusted, because the input levels are being monitored,
not the output levels.
When activated, the source gain controls can be used to adjust the monitoring
output gain of that source, from +6dB to - infinity (mute). Adjustment methods
include:
• Sliders - The sliders on the right can be used to change the values for each
color.
• Numeric Entry - You also enter a numeric value by clicking on the displayed
number, and can increase or decrease the values clicking on the up/down
arrow boxes.
• Cut and Paste - Right clicking on a displayed number opens a Cut, Copy, Paste
dropdown menu for convenient numeric entry.
As mentioned before, these controls are for monitoring only, and do not change
the audio recorded to a NLE file. Any actual recording level adjustments to
Capture or Audio Punch In / Voice Over to Timeline operations will either need to
be made upstream of the AJA input, or else via adjustments within the main NLE
application (e.g. via a pass through mix tool).
Audio Mixer Capture Monitor Tab
The Capture Monitor Mode screen is used to select and mix audio to be
monitored during capture operations.
IM PORTAN T: Even though you can hear changes in the signals and levels adjusted with
the Audio Mixer screen, these changes are NOT recorded to disk during NLE
Capture or Audio Punch In / Voice Over to Timeline. In addition, muting or
activating sources on this screen will not affect audio signals being recorded.
The Audio Mixer screen is dedicated for monitoring only, not program
mixing.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 38 www.aja.com
The controls on this screen are similar to those on the Playback Monitor Mode
screen, except the Main App is not available for selection (you cannot capture
from the application that is capturing). See "Audio Mixer Playback Monitor Mode
Screen" on page 70 for more information.
NOTE: If you want different behavior when the Capture tab is triggered; i.e. for host
system audio to be muted, then simply check the host system audio in the
Capture tab only. This way when you exit NLE Capture and return to regular
editing, the Playback tab settings will be applied and your host system audio
monitoring will resume.
IP Network Screen
The IP Network Screen lets you input the network parameters that define the
location of each physical SFP+ cage of the Io IP hardware.

Enable Checkbox
The ‘Enable’ checkbox connects the Io IP to the network address specified by all
the matched output parameters. Any time a parameter is changed, the output
should be re-enabled.
DS Keyer Screen
Io IP has a hardware-based downstream keyer that is ideal for putting logos,
“bugs” or other video material with an alpha channel on top of video being
played out or printed to tape. A typical application would be putting a television
station’s call letters or channel over program video content. Keyed video can
be from the Io IP’s internal Frame Buffer (from storage, Video In, etc.) or from a
graphics file that has an alpha channel (PhotoShop etc.).
Settings in the DS Keyer Screen provide control over how the keyer operates and
whether it’s turned on or off.
Downstream Keyer
Mode
• Downstream Keyer O - When this pulldown menu item is selected the
downstream keyer will be turned o.
• Frame Buer over Matte - Places the keyed video with alpha channel currently
in the Frame Buer over a xed color matte determined by the “Matte Color”
setting set separately.
• Frame Buer over Video In - Places the keyed video currently in the Frame
Buer over the video input for playout or print-to-tape.
• Graphic over Matte - Places a graphics le having an alpha channel (chosen in
“Graphic File” pulldown) over a xed color matte determined by the “Matte
Color” setting set separately.
• Graphic over Video In - Places a graphics le having an alpha channel (chosen
in “Graphic File” pulldown) over the video input for playout or print-to-tape.

card’s Frame Buer (which might be from storage, video In, KONA TV, etc.).
Matte Color
Only available when the pulldown “Frame Buffer over Matte” or “Graphic over
Matte” are selected-pressing this button brings up a color selection dialog. The
dialog provides a variety of ways to select a matte color including a color wheel,
color picker (choose from a location anywhere on the computer screen), numeric
sliders, swatches, “crayons”, and spectrums. The matte chosen will be used as a
video background under the keyed video.
Foreground pre-multiplied (checkbox)
Use to avoid “matte lines” and improve the appearance of the foreground (key)
being composited over the background.
Audio Out
• Frame Buer - Select audio out to be routed from the contents of the Frame
Buer.
• Audio In - Select audio out to be routed from Io IP’s currently selected input(s).
Opacity
This slider controls the transparency of the keyed video (over the background)
from translucent to completely opaque.
Graphic File Load
This pulldown allows you to choose from any recently accessed file or select
a new file (“Load File...”), which then brings up a file dialogue. Remember that
the file raster (pixel x pixel count) should match the primary format in the frame
buffer. Example: you wish to key a logo on top of your 1920x1080 footage, the still
image with alpha channel that you load should be 1920x1080.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 45 www.aja.com
LUT Screen
This screen lets you control RGB look up table (LUT) color conversion. You can
let Io IP automatically apply LUT conversion as appropriate, or you can load and
adjust LUT data to meet your requirements. The frame buffer must be set to RGB
(Format screen, Pixel Format) to enable, apply, and adjust LUT conversions.
NOTE: Io IP also uses a hardware based color-space converter in conjunction with the
LUT. For example,
LUT Transfer Function
The upper right side of the LUT screen displays an approximate representation of
the Red, Green, and Blue curves of the current transfer function.
NOTE: The LUT Transfer Function display may not always be an accurate representation
of the color conversion being applied. For example, if other parameters are
not set correctly, you may be able to change the curves on the screen but that
conversion is not applied to the output until the parameters are adjusted
correctly.
LUT Type
Select the type of LUT. Choose from
Auto (default)
When the Frame Buffer is set to RGB and LUT Type is set to Auto the type of
LUT automatically loaded is determined by the video format and how the video
output(s) are configured.
• For SD format and YUV output, the LUT is automatically loaded with a REC601
gamma.
• For HD format and YUV output, the LUT is automatically loaded with a REC709
Gamma.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 46 www.aja.com
• For HD format and RGB output (e.g. dual link RGB), the LUT is automatically
loaded with linear since both the buer and output are both RGB (1:1).
• For an RGB source and RGB output, and for a YUV source and YUV output the
LUT will be linear because no conversion is taking place.
• For an RGB source and a YUV output (common if receiving les from an
animator or motion graphics artist), and vice versa, then Auto will apply the
proper curve to enable this (along with a color space conversion).
Linear
Forces a straight linear transfer function.
SMPTE->FullRange
Forces a SMPTE to Full Range transfer function.
FullRange->SMPTE
Forces a Full Range to SMPTE transfer function.
User Linear
On first use, sets a linear transfer function and activates the Gain and Offset
sliders on the right, permitting individual Red, Green, and Blue color adjustments.
These settings are retained if you select another LUT type and then return to this
setting.
User Film Stream
Similar to User Linear, above but sets a film style transfer function that can be
adjusted with the Gain and Offset sliders.
User LUT File
Activates the LUT Files controls, allowing the loading of a custom LUT .txt file. See
"User Defined LUTs" on page 47.
Reset Button
Returns the settings of the currently selected LUT type to their default values.
Gain and Offset Sliders
When a User setting is selected, individual sliders for Gain and Offset for Red,
Green, and Blue are activated.
User Defined LUTs
Users can specify their own custom LUTs by creating a LUT file and uploading it to
an AJA Video Device using the LUT (lookup table) screen in the Control Panel. You
can create a custom LUT file using most text editors or spread sheets, provided
the data is arranged according to the LUT File Format Specification (see "LUT File
Format Specification" on page 48).
Uploading A Custom User LUT File
Once the LUT file is created, you can upload it with the following steps:
1. Before loading a LUT, make sure you are using an RGB frame buer format.
Go to the Format screen and adjust the Pixel Format.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 47 www.aja.com
2. Open AJA Control Panel and select the “LUT” screen.
3. Click the “LUT Type” popup and choose “User LUT File”. LUT Files options
become enabled.
4. Click the “+” button and use the navigation dialog to choose a custom LUT
le. The le is loaded and the LUT will be applied, if it is properly formatted.
LUT File Format Specification
LUT files are normal text files that contain 1025 lines (numbered 0 - 1024).
Each line contains 3 integer values in the range 0 - 1023, representing 10 bit R, G, B
component output values. Component values may be separated by one or more
commas, spaces, or tabs. The example below show LUT File contents for Line 0,
Line 1, Line 2, and Line 1024, with different valid ways to separate the numbers in
a line.
• 16, 17, 17
• 171818
• 19 19 21
• …
• 1000, 1022, 1023
In the example above, the first line (Line 0) represents the output values for the
case where R=0, G=0, or B=0. In other words, if the R component of a pixel is set
to 0, then set R component value to 16. Likewise, if G is set to 0, then set G to 17.
The second line (Line 1) does a similar thing for input component values equal to
one.
A simple way to construct a LUT file is to use a Spreadsheet like Excel. Simply fill 3
columns and 1025 rows with LUT data, and save the result as a “CSV” file.
Timecode Screen
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 48 www.aja.com
The Timecode Screen selects the timecode stream read for applications that use it
(for example, when the timecode source is set to “Use control panel setting,” AJA
Control Room will read the selected stream). It is also used for monitoring the RP188 timecode embedded in the digital data stream, and can be used for selecting
a timecode oset (if required).
Timecode Input Settings
RP-188 Timecode <n>
In RP-188 timecode (SMPTE 12M-2) there can be multiple timecode types in the
data stream. Use this pull-down to select the one you wish to monitor:
• RP188 LTC (Linear timecode)
• RP188 VITC (Vertical Interval timecode)
The selection will be displayed in the timecode value to the right of the pulldown.
User Bits
For monitoring a variable framerate (VFR) timecode (such as Varicam), you may
wish to check the User-bits box. If you set this checkbox, Io IP will detect and
interpret the user-bits and display them next to the checkbox. You will see the
original framerate (30 fps in the figure below) followed by the adjusted frame
padding (two digits reporting discarded and retained frame padding).
NOTE: SMPTE 12M-2 is the updated name and specification for what was RP-188.
Timecode Output Settings
Use QT Timecode (Mac OS Only)
This feature is for Final Cut Pro 7 (or earlier), AJA Control Room, and AJA TV only.
When checked, it directs Io IP to output timecode from the QuickTime timecode
track.
Timecode Burn-in
This pulldown selects whether the timecode value is displayed in a “burned-in”
window in video output. If set to “OFF”, timecode will not be keyed over the
video. If set to “Timecode”, then the timecode value will be keyed over the output
video for all of the Io IP outputs. This can be useful for synchronizing, choosing
edit points, dailies, and many other purposes.
Timecode Offset (entry field and FPS pull-down)
When QuickTime timecode in disabled, this text entry field allows you to
generate a timecode based on the offset entry. You can select a framerate from
the pulldown menu at the right side of the pane. Use that same value here as the
source video to ensure the timecode is synchronized.
NOTE: SMPTE RP 188 defines a standard for the transmission of time code and control
code in the ancillary data space of a digital television data stream. Time code
information is transmitted in the ancillary data space as defined in ANSI/SMPTE
291M. Multiple codes can be transmitted within a single digital video data stream.
Other time information, such as real time clock, DTTR tape timer information,
and other user-defined information, may also be carried in the ancillary time
code packet instead of time code. The actual information transmitted through
the interface is identified by the coding of a distributed binary bit. Equipment
manufacturers can use the meta data for different purposes.

Control Panel Operation in ST 2110 Mode
Overview
Io IP's ST 2110 mode supports the transport of uncompressed SDI video (up to
4Kp60) and embedded digital audio streams over a network. These audio and
video streams can be sent and received independently.
Requirements
• 10G network
• PTP network timing system
General Operation
In ST 2110 mode, a new Io IP must be configured before operation. Once initially
configured, that Io IP can be set to receive JSON or SDP information, which
completes that device's configuration for a specific workflow task (playing back
and/or capturing SDI video and audio over the network).
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 52 www.aja.com
Because of the complexity of setting up IP configurations for ST 2110 operation,
IT experts at your facility may have created a set of files you can use for quick
and easy Io IP re-configuration. A shared network location or other method
may also be established to hold these files, to ensure easy access to the correct
configuration files for various workflows.
AJA Control Panel ST 2110 Mode Follow Input Settings
The correct setting of AJA's Control Panel application's "Follow Input" parameter
is required, depending on the type of transport:
• Follow Input should be On for HD/SD SDPs.
• Follow Input should be O for script to script congurations. The frame rate
will need to be manually set.
• Follow Input should be O for UltraHD/4K SDP's, which will maintain the
board in UltraHD/4K operation.
AJA Device ST 2110 Mode Presets and Resets
Control Panel user defined Presets save and restore the video state and video
options currently set in Control Panel. IP parameters are not included. Use
exported scripts to save IP parameters.
The Control Panel "Reset Device" button reset clears all IP settings and puts the
card back to fresh state. This is recommended when setting up a new script or
generating a new set of parameters, but is not required.
IP Config Status Tab
The Control Panel screens available in ST 2110 mode are similar to those in ST
2022-6 mode. The IP Config screen parameters are arranged differently, however,
with three tabs.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 53 www.aja.com

Chapter 4 – Advanced ST 2110 Configuration
This Chapter offers technical information regarding IT configuration for ST
2110 workflows, useful to IT professionals responsible for network system
administration.
Configuration Summary
In ST 2110 Mode, each Io IP must be configured before operation. This
configuration process can be accomplished using AJA's Control Panel software,
and includes the following steps:
• Create a unique base IP address for each SFP module.
• Create JSON or SDP conguration les that determine the IP attributes of each
transmit and receive stream.
• Apply the correct conguration le for each stream to the each Io IP.
In ST 2110 Mode, Io IP supports three configuration methods to specify the
required transmit and receive stream IP information:
• JSON Script - Generate and apply a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) le
containing all the required information for each Io IP. The Control Panel
Follow Input parameter of the capture Io IP must be turned O, and the user
manually sets the Control Panel frame buer format to match the input. For
advanced users only after initial setup.
• SDP URL - Enter the URL of a network location that has a desired Session
Description Protocol (SDP) le for a stream to be received. This may be the
URL of the transmitting Io IP device itself. The Control Panel Follow Input
parameter must be turned On before applying the conguration, and
the operator uses Refresh to update the Io IP's frame buer format if the
incoming signal format changes.
• SDP File - Export an SDP le from a transmit Io IP and then import it into a
receive Io IP. This le reects the transmit device's output conguration at the
time of creation, and a new SDP le must be generated and imported if the
incoming signal format changes. The Control Panel Follow Input parameter
must be turned On before applying each conguration.
Initial Io IP ST 2110 Installation and Network Configuration
1. Install the Io IP card with SFP module(s) into your computer.
2. Install AJA's Desktop Software package on the same computer.
3. Connect the Io IP card's SFP module(s) to your 10 GigE media network.
4. Connect the Io IP's HDMI output to a compatible HDMI monitor.
5. Launch AJA's Control Panel application and select IP Cong.
6. In the Status tab, click on Advanced.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 59 www.aja.com
Figure 15. Generating an Initial ST 2110 Configuration
7. Click on Generate at the bottom of the screen, which opens the Generate
window.
Figure 16. SFP Configuration IP Address
8. In the SFP eld, enter a unique IP address for the Io IP card's top SFP.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 60 www.aja.com
IM PORTAN T: Each Io IP ships by default to generate the same IP address. This default
address must be changed so each device on the network has a unique IP address.
IM PORTAN T: Io IP's automatic configuration file creation process generates a compatible
set of IP addresses by incrementing the basic IP address. AJA recommends
separating adjacent IP addresses for different Io IP devices by at least two in the
third octet, to keep each SFP (up to two per card) unique.
IM PORTAN T: Keep careful records of what IP addresses have been assigned on the
network to avoid accidental duplication.
9. Click on the second window's Generate button, then click Apply. This
creates a generic conguration dened with four transmit video streams,
four receive video streams, four audio transmit streams, and four receive
transmit streams. The various IP addresses generated are derived from the
base IP value you entered.
NOTE: Default IP addresses can be used for testing, but for actual deployment AJA
recommends having a facility administrator manage IP configuration.
10. Click on the Network triangle and enter a valid IP address for your facility's
PTP master clock, which is required for ST 2110 operation.
Figure 17. PTP Configuration
11. Using these values as a starting point, you can now open other data elds
in the editor to manually adjust the remaining conguration values as
required. When the conguration is complete, click Apply to enable the
settings for that Io IP.
12. This JSON le can be named and exported to a shared network location,
and then be imported as needed into other Io IP transmit and receive
devices to be used as a starting point for further conguration.
Io IP Transport, Capture, Display v15.2r2 61 www.aja.com
Transmit/Receive Example
One simple way to test actual operation over the network is to configure two
Io IPs with complimentary settings, as follows:
1. Perform an initial conguration on a Io IP device as described above,
entering a dierent address. This will be used as the playback device.
2. Import that conguration to a second Io IP, edit that base SFP address (for
example, increment by 100), and swap the RX and TX IP addresses for that
second device. These complimentary congurations allow bi-directional
transport between the two Io IPs.
KONA Device Base SFP Rx Destination Tx R em ote Port
KONA IP #1 172.16 .45.0 239.0.45.0 239.20.45.0 1000
KONA IP #2 172.16.45.100 239.20.45.0 239.0.45.0 1000
3. You should now be able to open AJA's Control Room application on each
computer and test playback and capture.
