- 10-bit uncompressed SDI or analog video
- 24-bit digital/optical/analog multi-channel audio
- RS-422 machine control
- Genlock — and connect it all to the Mac via one FireWire cable.
The Io product offers a large number of unique features for connectivity, control, and ease of installation in any environment. Features: - All outputs are active: all the time.
- Single IEEE 1394a FireWire® connection between Apple Power Mac and Io for all audio/video and control.
- Brackets (rack ears) are provided for front mounting the two-rack-unit chassis in a standard 19 (48 cm) equipment rack. You can also mount the Io chassis via the same brackets attached at the rear panel for industrial-style equipment racks. Alternatively, you can use the chassis without any brackets at all, instead placing supplied rubber feet on the bottom of the chassis for use on a desk.
- Chassis styling compliments Apple's Xserve and Xserve RAID for a stylish desktop video suite appearance.
- RS-422 Control Port (Sony), 9-pin D, for machine control.
- 10-bit uncompressed SDI with embedded audio In/Out.
- Analog (10-bit A/D and D/A) video inputs/outputs.
- S-Video In/Out
- Composite NTSC/PAL Video In/Out
- Component YPbPr/RGB Video In/Out
- Genlock/Reference Video (looping)
- 24-bit digital/optical/analog multi-channel audio.
- 4 channel AES/EBU audio In/Out
- 4 channel balanced/unbalanced analog audio In connectors support XLR or TRS-type connections
- 4 channel balanced analog audio Out connectors (XLR)
- 8 channel ADAT® optical audio In/Out
- 8 channel TASCAM®-style balanced audio monitor Out
- 8 channel embedded audio over SDI
- Audio word clock connector (BNC) for audio synchronization
- Front Panel Status Indicators: Power On/Off, FireWire (active/inactive), Ref (Genlock), NTSC or PAL.
- Front Panel Mode Indicators: Input/Output.
- Front Panel Video/Audio Input Source Indicators.
- Video: Present, SDI, Component, Composite, and S-video

Includes: - AJA Io Installation Software CD-Rom
- Io Chassis with rackmount brackets (rack ears) already installed. These may be removed for desktop use, or re-installed at the back of the chassis for alternate rack-mounting.
- Rubber Feet (4) for optional desk use of the Io chassis.
- AC Power cord.
- FireWire cable for connection between Io and a Power Mac or Xserve.
