Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
Io IP is a powerful yet portable video and audio I/O device for professional IP
based workflows. As part of AJA’s industry-leading Io line of Thunderbolt capture
and playback devices, Io IP works seamlessly with a large number of popular
creative software applications, including out-of-the-box support for Adobe
Premiere Pro, Apple FCP, and Avid Media Composer.
Designed as a flexible platform with support for SMPTE ST 2022-6 and ST 2110
uncompressed IP video/audio, Io IP brings the highest quality 2K, HD, and SD
video and audio over IP to computers running Mac or Windows Operating
Systems. Io IP can also support 4K/UltraHD p60 (2SI) capture or playback, via
SMPTE ST 2110-23.
Io IP is also supported through the very same SDK as the rest of the KONA family,
making it straight forward for developers to make the transition to Video over IP.
Io IP Features
Io IP is designed as a platform with the flexibility to support different
uncompressed IP requirements at the highest quality for 4K/UltraHD, 2K/HD, SD
video and audio over IP for host systems running Mac or Windows Operating
Systems. By loading the appropriate firmware (aka bitfile), Io IP is able to change
its 'personality' to fit the required workflow as follows.
s2022 firmware supports Rx and Tx for:
• YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit for 2K/HD and SD.
• Supports 2022-7 for redundant Tx.
s2110 firmware supports Rx and Tx for:
• YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit for 4K/UltraHD, 2K/HD and SD.
• Supports 2022-7 for redundant Tx up to 2K/HD.
• Supports 2110-23 can be used for 4K/UltraHD p60 (2SI) capture or playback.
s2110-RGB firmware supports Tx for:
• RGB 4:4:4 12-bit for 2K/HD post production rates (23, 24, 25)
• Supports 2022-7 for redundant Tx up to 2K/HD.
NOTE: NDI is supported on Io IP in the same way as it is supported on KONA 4, courtesy
