Thunderbolt 2 technology allows even greater bandwidth between host computer systems and properly engineered Thunderbolt devices. AJA's Io 4K takes full advantage of this improved throughput to allow capture and output of video signals from SD to 4K and everything in between.

Futureproof

Io 4K offers broad and futureproof support for formats all the way from SD to 4K. The realtime down-converter also means you can work at higher resolutions and easily create lower resolution deliverables without the need to recapture or re-edit.

With applicable streaming software, you can utilize all 4x 3G-SDI connections for live stream switching from multiple input sources.

HDR

HDR or High Dynamic Range, provides the ability to display a wider and richer range of colors, much brighter whites, and much deeper, darker blacks than standard signals allow. This gives your imagery a more 'dynamic' look and allows for natural true to life colors to be communicated to your audience.

Io 4K provides this support for your 4K/UltraHD/2K and HD HDR pipelines to HDMI compatible displays in software v12.5 and above by offering HDR 10 support with HDR Infoframe metadata, in accordance with HDMI 2.0a/CTA-861.3. Desktop Software v13 introduces HLG support over HDMI for the latest versions of Adobe Premiere CC.
