Io offers Final Cut Pro users unsurpassed 10-bit uncompressed video and multi-channel audio. With Io, you can configure a 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 Apple Power 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 Power Mac for all data transfer—since uncompressed is 270Mb/s (with filler data included), FireWire handily carries the bandwidth.

AJA Io Software AJA's Io family of products were co-developed with Apple for use with Final Cut Pro 5 for powerful video/audio capture, editing, and video productionуall in a single integrated system. Many Final Cut Pro features can be better utilized through use of Io products. Each member of the product family comes with special Final Cut Pro presets for ease of use. RGB support in the driver allows Io products to support the direct video output of applications like Adobe After Effects™, Apple Motion™ and Discreet Combustion™. A stand-alone control panel application allows you to control Io as an “everything in, everything out” frame synchronizer. Using the Control Panel, Io can be a stand-alone A/D converter, D/A converter, SDI audio mux/de-muxer, plus many other uses. AJA Io and Final Cut Pro If you're looking for a simple Final Cut Pro finishing station, look no further than the Io family of products. By plugging in all your video/audio equipment, connecting a single FireWire cable, and then running an installer CD, you can build and run a complete non-linear-editing workstation in only minutes. Final Cut Pro and Io are also easy to configure and operate. Rather than having to fill out endless configuration screens to match your system, Io and Final Cut allow you to choose simple customizable pre-built easy setup selections that specify your input/output and workflow format.
