Comments about AJA Io LA - 10-bit Uncompressed I/O Breakout Box:
Once I figured out the settings, the AJA Io LA enabled my Mac Pro to pull in my analog video without any problems. I even save tape by recording directly to the Mac in my studio produced football coaches show. This saves not only tape, but more importantly time.
