Io Flexibility with KONA-level Power

Io HD is a versatile powerhouse, bringing features pioneered on AJA's industry-leading KONA lineup such as 10-bit hardware-based up-conversion, cross-conversion, and down-conversion—all performed in realtime. Just tap into its flexibility, and you can configure a Mac as a professional HD or SD editing suite, or high-powered field-editing system and just about anything in-between. Both analog and digital ports are offered, allowing connection to virtually every kind of video/audio peripheral — from the most current HD digital decks to analog legacy devices.

Io HD SOFTWARE

Io HD runs on a new AJA-built driver, similar to the KONA driver, which brings features such as Core Audio and very low latency capture and playback. The Io HD driver also provides RGB support, allowing for the direct video output of applications such as Adobe After Effects,™ Autodesk Combustion™ and Apple Motion.™ Co-developed with Apple for use with Final Cut Studio 2, Io HD delivers powerful audio/video capture, editing and post-production capabilities— all in a single, integrated system.
