Using Io Express with Professional Video /Audio Software
After you install the Io Express software and any AJA plug-ins to support your choice of 3rd-
party software, you’re then ready to begin capturing and playing back video and audio.
Go here to look for AJA plug-ins and documentation for your favorite 3rd-party software
applications:

Using the AJA Control Panel
The AJA 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.
Multiple AJA Devices
If you have more than one AJA device installed in a workstation, you will see a device
pulldown menu in the top-left corner of the control panel screen. See
“Using Multiple AJA
Products” on page 2 for details.
