AJA IO-101351 10-BIT Uncompressed In/Out External Video Capture Breakout Box

Description

AJA Io brings a wide variety of high-quality video and audio to an Apple Power Mac running Final Cut Pro 4 software. Offering unsurpassed 10-bit uncompressed video and multi-channel audio, Io allows a Power Mac to be configured anywhere from 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 only 270Mb/s (and it has filler data included), FireWire can easily handle the bandwidth.
