AJA Video Systems Io
Standard Definition Video Bridge for Final Cut Pro
AJA Video Systems > Video Capture > FirewireDiscontinued
Io offers Final Cut Pro users unsurpassed 10-bit uncompressed video and multi-channel audio. With Io, you can configure a Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, or Power Mac as a professional editing suite, corporate/industrial video center, or high-powered desktop video setup - and just about anything in between.
Both analog and digital sources are offered, allowing connection to just about every kind of video/audio peripheral from the most current digital decks to old legacy devices. It does this with unique simplicity, using a single FireWire connection between Io and the Mac - while serving simultaneous realtime connection for all audio and video sources.
How does Io transfer uncompressed video over FireWire? It efficiently uses the IEEE 1394a 400Mb/s FireWire port on the Mac for all data transfer - since uncompressed is 270Mb/s (with filler data included), FireWire handily carries the bandwidth.
Mounting
Brackets (rack ears) are provided for front mounting the two-rack-unit Io chassis in a standard 19" (48 cm) equipment rack. You can also mount the Io chassis via the same brackets attached at the rear panel for industrial-style equipment racks. Alternatively, you can use the chassis without any brackets at all; instead placing supplied rubber feet on the bottom of the chassis for use on a desk.
