Installing Io XT Software
Go to the AJA website and download the latest Io XT driver software. While there, also
download the latest version of AJA Control Panel, and any AJA plug-ins for 3rd-part
applications (such as Adobe CS5). All of these software installers can be found here:
http://www.aja.com/support/io/io-xt.php
If you don’t have an appropriate internet connection, use the CD-ROM supplied with the Io
XT system to install necessary software drivers and the AJA Control Panel application. You
cannot use Io XT with third-party software until the AJA Io XT software has been installed
on the host workstation, plus any AJA plug-ins required.
System software updates may occasionally become available to AJA Io XT owners on our
website (www.aja.com). We recommend checking occasionally for both software updates
and additional product information.
Note:
If your computer has previously had another video capture or multimedia device
installed, ensure you uninstall any related software before installing Io XT This will
prevent any hardware or software conflicts.
If you add Io XT supported applications at a later date and have not previously installed the
appropriate drivers, you must run the install program again selecting the appropriate
application support software to be installed.
Macintosh Software
Installation
Note:
Before installing Io XT software, turn off any virus protection and security software
that you may have installed on your computer.
1.
For CD-ROM: Insert the Io XT CD in the Mac, locate the Io XT CD icon on the OS X
desktop. Double click the icon to see the CD contents, which will appear in its own
window.
2.
Locate the package files (download or CD); they have an icon that looks like a box
and has a “.pkg” or “.mpkg” suffix.
Note:
Files ending in the “.pkg” and “.mpkg” suffix are OS X installer files. These launch the
OS X installer and tell it where and what to install on your system.
3.
Double-click the package to log on and begin software installation. Start by
installing the Io XT driver package with AJA Control Panel and then finally install any
AJA plug-ins for 3rd-party software.
4.
On the following pages, we show the series of screens you’ll see when installing the
Io XT driver software package.
Note:
During installation the system will ask you to authenticate who you are as currently
defined on your OS X user profile. Enter the proper name and password at the
Authenticate prompt; if you have multiple users defined, ensure that you log on as a
user with administrator-level authority.
