Io XT connects to your computer with a single 

Thunderbolt cable and provides a second 

Thunderbolt connector for daisy-chaining 

other devices, such as storage or displays, 

making it perfect for use on set, or in the 

edit suite.

Disconnecting a device in the middle of a 

Thunderbolt chain will disconnect all devices 

that come after it. On some jobs, the drive 

array may be moved frequently, so it would 

be best to have that at the end of the chain, 

while other times it may be a monitor that 

is being removed periodically. Io XT’s dual 

Thunderbolt ports ensure that no matter 

what configuration you need, the system can 

continue to operate without interruption.

Io XT utilizes AJA’s high-quality up/down/

cross-conversion hardware, the same found 

in our flagship FS2 converter. Conversion can 

be done either on capture or on output. On 

capture, this allows you to take mismatched 

source media and bring it all to a common 

resolution so individual shots don’t have to 

be scaled in the edit. 

Likewise, Io XT can perform conversions 

during output to adapt to different

monitoring or layoff configurations without 

having to change the native editorial timeline.

Uniquely, the Io XT can cross-convert 720p 

23.98 to 1080PsF 23.98, which is particularly 

valuable in today’s multi-format HD post 

environment.

The latest generation computers feature 

powerful Thunderbolt interfaces, offering a 

mind-blowing 10Gbps available bandwidth. 

Taking advantage of this new interface, Io XT 

is the ideal portable companion for lightning-

fast video capture and playback for all post 

production and on-set applications.

Compact, portable and powerful, Io XT is 

loaded with high-end features including 3G/

Dual Link/HD/SD-SDI, Component Analog and 

HDMI connectivity, to bring true desktop-level 

power to any Thunderbolt™-enabled system 

with full uncompressed HD and SD 4:2:2 and 

4:4:4 capable video and audio connectivity.

Io XT can handle whatever equipment you are working with. With a full compliment of 3G/

HD/SD-SDI and HDMI I/O, HD/SD analog video output, reference and LTC inputs, and digital 

and analog audio, Io XT opens up new possibilities for what can be considered a professional 

editing system. No longer confined to deskside tower systems, the combination of Io XT and any 

Thunderbolt™-enabled computer has all the capability and connectivity of a larger system but in 

a more portable size.
