System Requirements
AJA Video recommends that your system meet minimum hardware and software
requirements to achieve a satisfactory level of performance. Updates to system
requirements are subject to change.
NOTE: See Software Vendor system requirements for GPU recommendations and
additional hardware requirements and recommendations.
See the Io IP Release Notes, available on the AJA website and also installed with
the software package, for detailed system requirements including OS, CPU, RAM,
and GPU.
For IP installations specifically, AJA recommends:
• IP infrastructure with adequate bandwidth to sustain the capture and
playback of the material you expect to be working with across the number of
systems that are active at any given time
• For multi-seat installations, IP infrastructure that is comprised of fully
managed switches and is in turn supported by a team of qualified network
administrators
• For SMPTE ST 2022-7 implementations, two entirely independent network
infrastructures are required for true redundancy
NOTE: For large scale installations with shared storage, IP, or for very high performance
requirements, AJA recommends consultation with an experienced a system
integrator. A consultant will be able to assist with many important variables.
Disk Storage Methods
To ensure performance and quality, the disk storage system used with
the workstation must be able to meet the demands of storing real-time
uncompressed media. At the very minimum, the disk storage system must be
able to provide and maintain a consistent transfer rate from the workstation to
disk (read/write). There are a variety of system configurations and peripherals that
can provide this level of performance.
