Overview

AJA's Io XT provides professional-grade I/O for high-end computers using a Thunderbolt 
interface with 10Gbps available bandwidth. Io XT is the ideal portable companion for 
lightning-fast video capture, playback and up/down/cross conversion. Designed for today’s 
workflows, Io XT provides a new interface for video Pro's working with 10-bit uncompressed, 
Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), XDCAM HD, DVCPRO HD, stereoscopic 3D 
workflows, and more. 

Io XT connects with a single Thunderbolt cable and provides a second Thunderbolt connector 
for storage, making it perfect for on set, or in the edit suite. 

Based on the KONA 3G hardware, Io XT provides 3G/Dual-link/HD/SD-SDI, Component 
Analog, and HDMI connectivity. The AJA Mac driver delivers extensive codec and media 
support within all professional 3rd-party Video applications. 

Io XT's 10-bit hardware conversion capability paired with a Thunderbolt RAID System creates 
a super-fast editing system, portable enough to fit in a backpack—with desktop level power.
