time. In this situation, you can use the down-converted SDI monitor output to
monitor the input signal, or use the HDMI output. Note that to monitor incoming
UltraHD/4K SDI as HDMI UltraHD/4K, the SDI input transport must be 2SI. Quad
SDI will be down-converted to HD on the HDMI output.
Specifying the number of wires for output forces Quadrant mode. You cannot
specify the number of links when 2SI output is selected (the lowest number of
links will be set automatically).
Io 4K in 4K Mode Audio Monitoring
Io 4K in 4K Mode can be used as your single audio monitoring solution whether
you are auditioning music in a web browser, playing a movie file on the desktop,
creating music, or playing a YouTube clip. As long as the output of your work
or application is normally output via the host system audio, your AJA hardware
can route this audio for monitoring. This cuts down on unnecessary cabling, and
means you can take advantage of a consistent audio monitoring environment
whatever you are currently doing with your host system.
NOTE: On first use, you will need to tell your operating system to use AJA hardware as
the default Input and Output hardware.
Io 4K lets you listen to Host System audio concurrently with your NLE audio.
This is useful if you need to audition music tracks against playback of your NLE
timeline, or if you need to Skype with a remote producer during an edit session,
or for a myriad of other reasons.
You can also listen to Io 4K Input concurrently with your NLE (with the exception
of Avid Media Composer). This is useful if you need to listen out for the readiness
of talent, or the presence of some other feed, whilst you continue to work.
Io 4K in 4K Mode audio monitoring is routed and mixed using the Control Panel
application's Audio Mixer screen. You can select sources to be monitored, and
can adjust their levels. If you are using the 1/4 inch monitor output connector, an
additional overall mix gain control is conveniently available on the Io XT/4K's front
panel.
The mixed audio monitor signal is also routed to:
• SDI Audio out
• HDMI Audio Out
• Analog Audio Out (via DB25 cable)
IMPORTANT: Even though you can hear changes in the signals and levels adjusted with
the Audio Mixer screen, these changes are NOT recorded to disk during NLE
Capture or Audio Punch In / Voice Over to Timeline. The Audio Mixer screen is
dedicated for monitoring only, not program mixing.
