Installation Overview
The installation and set up of a Io Express is very simple. The steps of installation and
configuration are discussed here and summarized as follows:
1.
Unpack the shipping box (see
“What’s In The Box?” on page 5.
)
2.
If not previously installed on your Mac Pro or Windows workstation, ensure that
appropriate application software such as Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro is
installed as detailed in its user documentation. Editing software
must be installed and
have been run at least once prior to installing Io Express software.

Starting with Io Express 7.5, you can operate multiple AJA capture products in a
workstation. See

for details.
4.
Install AJA Io Express software on your Mac or PC from the
supplied AJA CD-ROM
