Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro (not included with Io Express) ships with information already configured for
most common system configurations. After you install the Io Express software on your Mac
Pro, all you need to do to begin using it is to become familiar with the AJA Io Express Control
Panel and how Final Cut Pro works with Io Express.
With Final Cut Pro you’ll choose the proper “canned” setups from those provided by AJA.
These setups, called “Easy Setups” in Final Cut Pro, are available to use and edit under Audio/
Video Settings in the “Final Cut Pro” menu (next to the apple menu).
You’ll also need to become familiar with the AJA Io Express Control Panel, used for source
selection, configuring many Io Express features, and creating your own preset configurations
for different applications.
The manual you are reading does not provide operational information about Final Cut Pro.
Please read the Final Cut Pro user documentation for information on configuration and
operation. The chapter you are reading addresses configuration and setup unique to the use
of Io Express with Final Cut Pro and other applications.
Using The IO Express Control Panel
The IO Express Control Panel is a software application that provides a simple visual way to see
how the Io Express interface is currently configured and make changes as desired. Settings—
both those you changed and those you didn’t—can be saved as a snapshot for recall at
anytime. This lets you save settings associated with all your frequent tasks; then as you switch
tasks you don’t have to spend extra time resetting interface configurations—just load the
previously saved settings for each task.
One thing you’ll notice instantly about the Control Panel is that it represents a visual block
diagram of how the unit is configured. The current status, input and output settings, and
many other details can be viewed as a color-coded block diagram in the Control Panel.
Control Panel Basics
To ensure you make the most of the software, launch the AJA/Io Express Control Panel
application and look at its display. Then refer to the “Basics” described here to fully
understand what you’re seeing and learn how to view and change the Io Express system
configuration.
Before we go into too much detail, here are some basic definitions you should know (please
refer to the figure that follows for reference). After studying the basics, read “
Who is
Controlling Io Express ?” later in this chapter for more advanced information on how
applications interact with Io Express.
