It is fully compatible with most popular NLE programs, the newest codecs, video formats, stereoscopic 3D workflows, and more.

High-end features include 3G/Dual-link/HD/SD-SDI, Component Analog, and HDMI connectivity. AJA's OS X software and drivers connect the hardware to extensive codec and media support.
For SDI digital video, Io XT features two 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs and two outputs, plus HDMI 1.3 input and HDMI 1.4a output-including support for 3D, as well as component/composite output, LTC or Reference input, LTC output, 8 channels of embedded digital audio I/O and 8 channels of analog audio output. The 9-pin RS422 connector allows for use with Digital Betacam, DVCPro50, HDCAM, DVCPRO HD, D5, or HDCAM SR VTR-or any other professional device.
