Thunderbolt 3 technology allows even greater bandwidth between host computer systems and properly engineered Thunderbolt devices. AJA's Io 4K Plus takes full advantage of this improved throughput to enable capture, monitoring and output of video signals from 4K over a single 12G or HDMI 2.0 cable, through to SD-SDI over a single 1.5G cable and everything in between.
Io 4K Plus supports 4K, UltraHD, 12G-SDI, 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, Dual Link, HD-SDI and SD-SDI as well as UltraHD and HD over HDMI 2.0 for both capture and output. The HDMI output accurately displays HDR 10 and HLG for support of emerging HDR workflows. A dedicated, real time, always on HD-SDI output allows Io 4K Plus to simultaneously output to HD monitors when working at 4K or UltraHD resolutions, providing cost effective monitoring options in addition to full resolution outputs.
- Futureproof
Io 4K Plus has the connectivity required for today's broad bandwidth workflows. 12G-SDI in and out (connections also support 6G, 3G, and 1,5G SDI) as well as HDMI in and out, simplifies your cable runs between cameras, routers, switchers, recorders and VTRs. Io 4K Plus elegantly handles 4K HFR, and the increased color space and luminance ranges demanded by emerging HDR workflows. Bring your imagery to life with HDR 10 or HLG and a compatible HDMI monitor. - Small, Yet Powerful
Io 4K Plus makes full use of Thunderbolt 3 speed, power and bandwidth, to enable outstanding capabilities and performance for all your 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD or SD production, post, streaming or live event needs. All at a size that's small and rugged enough to easily take on-set or in the field. Connect to a Thunderbolt 3 laptop or desktop workstation anywhere and power your performance while dual Thunderbolt 3 ports enable daisy chaining for configuration flexibility, making life easier for you whether in the field or studio. - Proven
Io 4K Plus utilizes AJA's proven driver and plug-in technology for compatibility with a wide range of production, editing, graphics, and broadcast software packages. Capture and monitor directly within your application of choice for a seamless workflow solution wherever your creativity takes you, from set to studio and everywhere in-between. Io 4K Plus provides the flexibility to use the software tools that are appropriate for your workflow while maintaining consistent, high quality hardware capture, monitoring and output.
