Chapter 2: Installation & Configuration
Installation Overview
The installation and set up of an Io XT is very simple. The steps of installation and
configuration are discussed here and summarized as follows:
1. Unpack the shipping box (see What's in the Box later in this chapter
2. If not previously installed on your Thunderbolt equipped Macintosh, ensure
that appropriate application software such as Final Cut Pro 7, Avid Media
Composer, or Adobe Premiere 5.5 is installed as detailed in its user
documentation.
3. For latest System Compatibility and Software Version information for Io XT:
Visit: http://www.aja.com/support/io/io-xt.php
4. Install AJA Io XT software on your Mac from the latest AJA download
(preferred) or from the supplied AJA CD-ROM.
Start by installing the Io XT driver package first, then install any AJA plug-ins
for 3rd-party software.
Installers for the Io XT driver software (with AJA Control Panel) are found both
on the CD in your shipping box and on the AJA website—we strongly
recommend going to AJA website to ensure you get the latest software and
documentation.
5. Connect a Thunderbolt cable between the Mac and the Io XT.
6. Cable the system audio and video sources, VTR, audio monitor,
and video monitor.
7. When you run the AJA Control Panel, you'll notice that the Io XT is auto-
discovered as long as it is properly cabled and powered up.
Each of these steps are explained in greater detail on the remaining
pages of this chapter.
