Because it matters.
Io XT
Professional Thunderbolt I/O. Ready to Go.
Desktop-level Power and Portability, —Without Compromise
Desktop-level power wherever you choose to work is now possible with AJA’s new Io XT, with Thunderbolt dual-port “daisy-chain” connectivity.
Apple’s newest generation of computers feature powerful Thunderbolt interfaces, offering a mind-blowing 10Gbps available bandwidth—and AJA’s Io XT is the ideal portable companion for lightning-fast video capture and playback for professional post­production and on set applications.
Designed for today’s workflows, Io XT provides complete compatibility with the most popular NLE programs, the newest codecs, video formats, stereoscopic 3D workflows, and more.
Single Cable Thunderbolt Connectivity
Io XT connects to your Mac with a single Thunderbolt cable and provides a second Thunderbolt connector for daisy-chaining other Thunderbolt-enabled devices, such as storage, making it perfect for on set, or in the edit suite.
Compact, portable and powerful, it’s loaded with high-end features including 3G/Dual-link/ HD/SD-SDI, Component Analog, and HDMI connectivity. AJA’s industry-proven OS X software and drivers connect the hardware to extensive codec and media support.
Pair Io XT with a MacBook Pro and Thunderbolt-based storage solution and you’ve got a no-compromise, fast editing system —portable enough to fit in a backpack.
AJA Quality Conversion
Io XT features full 10-bit, broadcast-quality, motion-adaptive SD to HD up-conversion, HD to HD cross-conversion, HD to SD down-conversion, and automatic HD/SD 12-bit component analog output. Since all conversion functionality on the Io XT is hardware-based, it’s available all the time on ingest or playback.
Uniquely, the Io XT can cross-convert 720p
23.98 to 1080PsF 23.98. Cross-conversion is particularly valuable in today’s multi-format HD post environment where producing pristine 720p or 1080i signals at-will helps streamline dailies and deliverables.
