Compact, portable and powerful, Io XT is loaded with high-end features including 3G/Dual Link/HD/SD-SDI, Component Analog, and HDMI connectivity, to bring true desktop level power to any Thunderbolt enabled system, with full uncompressed HD and SD 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 capable video and audio connectivity. SDI Input/Output Video Cards Matrox delivers a full range of SDI I/O cards that are designed for optimal performance, flexibility, and scalability. High-density SDI cards provide up to 12 reconfigurable inputs and outputs with support for SD, HD, 3G and 12G SDI for SD through 4K/UHD resolutions.

Io4K supports 4K, UltraHD, 3G-SDI, Dual Link, HD-SDI and SD-SDI as well as UHD and HD over HDMI 1.4a for both capture and output. A dedicated, real time, always-on HD-SDI output allows Io 4K to simultaneously output to HD monitors when working at 4K or UHD resolutions, providing cost-effective monitoring options in addition to full resolution outputs.

IMPORTANT! All possible modes of operation for the AJA Io 4K is currently not supported by Viz Engine, see Configuration.

Io4K supports your current SD and HD SDI workflow and also provides support for future UltraHD and 4K (with downscaling, if needed) with frame rates up to 50p/60p whenever the need arises.

Embedded 16-channel SDI and 8-channel HDMI audio are supported as well as analog audio outputs via a standard DB-25 connection. Stereo monitoring is also possible with 2 x RCA outputs and a front panel mini-TRS headphone jack.

IMPORTANT! Currently 4K and HDMI output is not supported. Support for this will be considered in future Viz Engine releases. For 1080P only Level A for 3G is supported.

This section contain information about the following subjects:

Embedded audio is supported, always with 16 channels in and out. However, mixer settings are active, and respected. Example: if the user requests only two-channel output, the remaining 14 channels will be silent.

The six BNC connectors on the back of the Io4K are labeled [LTC OUT], [LTC IN/REF IN] and [SDI 1 to 4] as indicated in the picture below:


The default configuration is:

Vizrt includes two configuration utilities from AJA:

  • cables.exe This utility shows the current topology running: inputs, outputs, color space conversion, fill and key paths. Firmware and driver version information is also accessible. Screen-shots of cables.exe usage showing two typical topologies (A: two video inputs and B: one video and one preview) are shown below

Example A- topology using two video inputs:

  • watcher.exe This utility shows register settings. You may also write out a status log file. The auto-circulate engine is also observable. This utility is mostly of value for support specialists.

Only do an upgrade of Io4K firmware if instructed to do so by Vizrt or AJA support. All files for firmware upgrade will be provided in a separate directory, typically supplied as a zip-archive. To install the firmware:

  1. Open a command window.

  2. cd to the directory where the firmware upgrade files are located. Make sure no other programs are running that could interfere with the firmware upgrade.

  3. Install the firmware, in this example named IO_XT_4K_13.bit, using the ntv2firmwareinstaller utility. Example: ntv2firmwareinstaller -f IO_XT_4K_13.bit

  4. The window will then pause for a few minutes. When the firmware upgrade is complete, the command line program will ask for a return key press to exit. Please be patient, the firmware upgrade can take 3 to 6 minutes or more, depending on hardware.

  5. Power-cycle the Io4K and reboot the computer to make sure the upgraded firmware configuration is active.
