AJA Video Systems Announces New Capabilities on Io

Free software upgrades add RGB V-out and Control Panel for Io

AJA Video Systems Inc. announced today that they are adding even more value and exciting features to the Io family with two new, free software upgrades: RGB V-out support for popular compositing and graphics applications and the Io Control Panel, a powerful piece of OS X software that unlocks the potential of Io, turning it into an ,Anything In, Anything Out Frame Synchronizer.

RGB V-out support has been one of the most frequently requested features since Io's introduction last year. This new upgrade has direct support for popular applications including the new Apple Motion' (announced at NAB2004), Adobe After Effects', and Discreet Combustion, without the need for additional plug-in software. It will be available free to all Io owners as a simple driver upgrade from the AJA website beginning in May. The new Io Control Panel turns Io into an ,Anything In, Anything Out Frame Synchronizer, just for starters. With this OS X software application, Io becomes a video and audio A/D and D/A that can also embed and disembed SDI audio streams, remap SDI audio channels, select field modes, video proc amp, and even save and recall these settings for incredible operational simplicity. It also includes integration with Io's Quicktime' driver for even easier control, unlocking the full-frame TBC that exists in every Io. As always, Io delivers the highest broadcast quality available, with 10 bit video processing and 24 bit audio. Another exciting feature is that the Control Panel is AppleScript-able, for even tighter integration and customization.

Additionally, AJA will be at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in June where interested developers can meet with them and discuss integration of their OS X applications via the Io control panel and AppleScript.
