The needs of video professionals are becoming more and more mobile. 

With more editorial and graphics being done on set and the ability 

to run full-featured software on laptop computers, the need for a 

compact video and audio I/O solution has rapidly increased. AJA Io XT 

and Io Express answer that call by providing desktop-level functionality 

in a portable form factor that’s powerful enough to deliver in the edit 

suite, and sturdy enough to handle life in the field. 

Housed in a rugged chassis, Io XT and Io Express are small and light 

enough to carry in a backpack along with a laptop, giving editors a 

fully-functional editing system to carry with them at all times without 

having to transport large racks of additional gear. For times when you 

need a rackmounted solution, both units are a standard 1RU high and 

only half the width of a standard 19” rack space. This allows two Io units 

to be mounted in a single rack space using the available rackmount kit.

With support for major editing and graphics software, the Io family can 

give you the mobility you need without compromising functionality 

or reliability. Io XT is a Thunderbolt™-enabled I/O device that takes full 

advantage of the blazing fast Thunderbolt™ connection to offer high 

quality capture and playback. Compatible with PC or Mac, Io Express 

can be connected via PCIe card or ExpressCard interfaces, offering the 

flexibility to work on any platform, in the software of your choice.

Built to the exacting standards of all AJA hardware, Io XT and Io Express 

are backed by our world-class support network, 3-year international 

warranty and advanced exchange service.

AJA’s Io family of devices bring 
desktop I/O power to a portable size 
and shape. Move between desktop 
and mobile, Mac and Windows with 
a single device that has all the power 
and functionality your work requires.
