Io XT Installation and Operation Manual — Cabling the System
Go to the AJA website and download the latest Io XT driver software and any AJA plug-
ins for 3rd-part applications (such as Adobe CS5.5). 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. 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.
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 first 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.
