Page 10: Features
Mbps (normal quality) and 220 Mbps (high quality, HQ) there is plenty of bandwidth. Only Io HD can do this since it has the Apple ProRes 422 codec implemented in hardware inside the box, allowing incoming media to be made smaller before it’s transmitted over the FireWire connection to the Mac.
Page 11: Broadcast-Quality Conversion
While connected to the Mac, Io HD can be conﬁgured for a set of parameters and then disconnected from the Mac for use by itself as a stand-alone converter. An example would be using the Io HD in Stand Alone Mode as an SD to HD upconverter.
Page 12: What's In The Box

A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety.
Page 27: Chapter 3: Getting Started
This chapter hopes to show how Final Cut Pro and Io HD can ﬁt into the variety of workﬂows you currently have—and make them more efﬁcient.
Page 28: Understanding Typical Workflows
Workﬂow Scenarios Understanding Typical Workflows Io HD and Final Cut Pro allow more workﬂow ﬂexibility than ever before. Users can independently select different formats and frame rates for capture. Io HD's full array of SD and HD, analog and digital connectors—with all outputs active simultaneously—make video preview and mastering an easy task.
Page 29: Dv/Dv25 (Sd)
Quality: Good DV is commonly input to an Apple computer via FireWire. Io HD can capture directly to DV compressed media from an uncompressed SDI source. For devices that may not have FireWire (IEEE1394 or i.Link) connections, this allows the user to capture to this low data rate, yet good quality codec.
Page 30: Uncompressed 10-Bit 4:2:2 (Sd)
It was designed by Apple for editing, rather than as a transmission/distribution codec as are most popular codecs. For HD, this is the preferred workﬂow for Io HD ingest into Final Cut Pro 6. Some of the advantages include: Full-size 1920-by-1080 and 1280-by-720 HD resolutions.
Page 31: Workflow General Notes
However, if changes need to be made to the project workﬂow after the project has begun, the Io HD gives users easy tools that can capture to a common codec with its hardware based upconversion, downconversion and crossconversion capabilities.
Page 33: Installation Overview
Installation & Configuration Installation Overview The installation and set up of an Io HD is very simple. Plug it in to AC mains power and connect the FireWire 800 cable to a suitable Mac Pro, MacBook Pro or Xserve’s FireWire 800 port with the cable supplied. All of the Installation and Conﬁguration steps are documented in this chapter and summarized below:...

Io HD is powered up after the computer, the AJA Control Panel application will not be able to properly control the unit. If for any reason the Io HD is power cycled while the computer remains powered, the computer must be rebooted for proper operation of the Io HD.
Page 40: Cabling The System
These connectors are explained individually in chapter 2. Here, system interconnection is shown and described. The Io HD chassis should be plugged into AC power before you make connections — although it should not be switched on. The AC cord provides a path to ground for accidental static discharge and protects system equipment.
Page 41 4. Connect two SDI cables between Io HD and your digital VTR (Digital Betacam etc.): one from Io HD SDI In to the VTR SDI Out, and one from Io HD SDI Out (1 or 2) to the VTR SDI In. The Io HD SDI connections have embedded audio so the VTR must be conﬁgured accordingly.
Page 42: Typical Analog System
Your system may differ depending on VTRs, audio monitoring, and video monitoring. 1. If desired, connect your house reference sync to the Io HD Ref input connector (BNC). The Io HD Ref output connector can be connected to your VTR.
Page 43: Genlock And Your System
Usually, this means using a black burst generator (standard deﬁnition) or Tri-level sync generator (high deﬁnition) output looped through the system. On the Io HD, house sync is connected to the “Ref ” input BNC (Reference Video).
Page 44: Using 8-Bit Versus 10-Bit Video In Standard Definition
Using 8-bit Versus 10-bit Video in Standard Definition While both 8- and 10-bit uncompressed video are capable of providing excellent quality broadcast video, 10-bit represents a signiﬁcantly higher quality and is preferable in many situations when working with standard deﬁnition video. (When working with HD, you’ll want to use Apple ProRes 422 in most cases—unless the media has already been transferred via FireWire to the Mac, in which case you might consider HDV or DVCPROHD as alternatives—although ProRes 422 will...
Page 45: Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro and Other Software Final Cut Pro After you install the Io HD software on your Mac, all you need to do to begin using it is to become familiar with the AJA Control Panel and how Final Cut Pro works with Io HD.
