Io XT
Connectivity
For SDI digital video, Io XT features two 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs and two outputs, plus HDMI
1.3 input and HDMI 1.4a output—including support for 3D. Also included are component/
composite output, LTC or Reference input, LTC output, 8 channels of embedded digital
audio I/O and 8 channels of analog audio output.
For professional machine control, Io XT has a 9-pin RS422 connector. If you’re using a
Digital Betacam, DVCPro50, HDCAM, DVCPRO HD, D5, or HDCAM SR VTR—or any other
professional device–you’ll have the proper connections.
Dual link and 4:4:4 HD support
Io XT supports single link 3G 4:4:4 and dual link 4:4:4 HD-SDI, with full bandwidth 4:4:4
RGB at 10-bits for 1080i, 1080p, 1080PsF and 720p formats. Io XT can even convert
between 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 formats for single link HD-SDI monitoring and output.
Powerful Software
Io XT drivers are optimized for use on OS X, with applications and advanced AJA hardware
capabilities controlled easily at-a-glance in the application you’re using. AJA software
integrates within the native environment where used, and includes powerful standalone
capability with the AJA Control Room software.
AJA Control Room provides a unified, all-encompassing graphically rich and intuitive
software application for controlling selected AJA and non-AJA equipment to
enable configuration, video and audio capture, conversion, playback, and output. It
eliminates the multiple applications other competitors require and replaces it with one
comprehensive environment that does it all. AJA Control Room supports a variety of
video, still image and audio file types.
