Software For Mac - AJA io XT Installation And Operation Manual

Software for Mac

When using the Final Cut Pro 7 HDV codec, the Io XT advanced scaling engine takes the
native frame (long GOP 1440 HD) and outputs it via hardware-in real time. Precision
AJA circuitry re-sizes the video to full-raster 1920 x 1080, providing instantaneous
playback of HDV captured by Final Cut Pro 7 for both monitoring and recording.
Unlike the DV25 format, which can preview in realtime natively via Final Cut Pro 7, the
MPEG structure of HDV is much more complex. Fortunately, Io XT can provide real time
monitoring and playback to both HD and SD monitors and decks via the realtime
hardware scaler and down-converter on board.
In addition to speeding up Final Cut Pro 7 Dynamic RT by using the KONA scalar,
multiple frame size RT (1/4 size or full size)—a Final Cut Pro 7 feature—also benefits
from Io XT. The frame count and image size are dynamically changed during file
playback, so you don't get the "un-rendered" message in Final Cut Pro 7.
AJA's Io XT software and hardware were developed for powerful integrated video/
audio capture, editing, and production with a variety of 3rd-party software. With an
Io XT and qualified Thunderbolt-enabled Mac, you have the ultimate system for
standard and high definition video editing, production and DI work. AJA software is
supplied on CD.

block diagram to show visually what is happening inside Io XT.
• Supports popular 3rd-party Professional Video Applications like Apple Final Cut
Pro™ 7, Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and
more.
