AJA IOLA Overview

The Io LA from AJA Video Systems is an analog breakout box, co-developed with Apple Computers to integrate with Final Cut Pro. This external device connects to your Mac via a single FireWire cable and allows capture through composite, S-video or component YPbPr/RGB (NTSC/PAL) giving you the highest quality 10-bit video available on all analog inputs and outputs. The Io LA also provides you with up to four channels of balanced and unbalanced analog audio through the provided XLR audio ports. Other features include RS-422 remote deck control, professional-quality genlock, and optional expansion with the Io LD in a rackmount configuration.

Multiple Simultaneous Outputs
All outputs are active at all times, allowing multiple simultaneous monitoring and recording connections. You can monitor your audio or video output through any combination of devices, simultaneously.
Lossless 10-Bit Uncompressed Analog Video
You can maintain your video's quality and integrity by using the IoLA to eliminate compression issues. Perform repeated high-quality video transfers and never experience a quality loss due to compression.
XLR Breakout Cable
Four channels of balanced input/output analog audio are available through the included breakout cable.
RS-422 Control
With this advanced breakout box, you can remotely control video decks through the computer via 9-pin D control cable.
Easily Expandable
Add the optional Io LD, and you have SDI capturing capability for a full professional video capture suite right on your desktop.
NTSC/PAL Compatibility
This versatile breakout box works with both NTSC and PAL standards.
