The IO family of Products:

The Io family of products provide a simple elegant plug-in solution for working with Final Cut Pro on a Macintosh G4 or G5. With a single FireWire connection, any Io connects to the Power Mac and provides audio and video I/O, connection to VTRs, Genlock and integrated Final Cut Pro drivers. With the proper FireWire 800 PCMCIA card and external drives, you can even use Io products with an Apple MacBook Pro.

AJA FR1 and FR2 Mounting Frames

The FR1 and FR2 mounting frames provide high-density rackmount solutions for AJA's R-Series modules. The FR1 is a 1 RU frame with 4 slots; the FR2 is a 2 RU frame with 10 slots. Both frames feature high-capacity power supplies with no power restrictions for any module combination. Also, both frames feature multi-fan forced-air cooling, which provides ample cooling

FR2 Specifications
Capacity 10 Slots, 1 Rack Unit Inputs, RJ 45 Communications Port/Power Supply Monitoring, Reference Input, BNC, Multiple-Fan Forced Air

Size 19" x 3.50" x 13. " (2RU) Leitch® 6800-Series Compatible

capacity without the need for an empty rack space above the units. Both frames feature optional redundant power supplies - the FR2's power supplies are easily changed from the front of the unit. Also, both the FR1 and FR2 feature a frame color black reference input that is distributed to all slots.

FR1 Specifications
Capacity 4 Slots, 1 Rack Unit Inputs, RJ 45 Communications Port/Power Supply Monitoring, Reference Input, BNC, Multiple-Fan Forced Air

Size 19" x 1.75" x 15.75" (1RU) Leitch® 6800-Series Compatible

D10A Component Analog to Serial Converter:

The D10A provides excellent quality component analog to 10-bit serial digital conversion in a small, low cost package. The D10A works with RGB or YPbPr component analog inputs (including Betacam and MII) in 525 or 625 line formats. The D10A has one component analog input (3x BNC), one external sync input, and three SDI outputs. Input format can be chosen by internal jumpers and level/gain controls.

AJA D5PSW SDI Protection Switch:

The D5PSW accepts 2 SDI inputs, Primary and Secondary, and automatically switches to the Secondary input if the Primary input is not present or is not a valid SDI signal. An SDI input is considered valid if a proper SMPTE 259 stream is present. A LED indicator is Green if both Primary and Secondary are present, flashing green if the Primary is present but the Secondary is not present, and Orange if the Secondary is present but the Primary is not. The D5PSW has 3 SDI outputs.

AJA D5DA Serial Distribution Amplifier:

The D5DA is a multi-format, 1x4 reclocking SDI Distribution Amplifier. The D5DA can be used as a low cost SDI DA or repeater. The SDI input is re-clocked and equalized to 300 meters of cable. In addition, the multi-standard feature allows the D5DA to automatically adapt to 143, 177, 270, or 360Mb SDI inputs.

AJA D5D NTSC/PAL to Serial Decoder:

The D5D Decoder provides low cost, all digital decoding of analog NTSC/PAL or Y/C (S-Video) to SDI. The D5D is useful for bringing video from time-base corrected analog composite equipment into a serial digital environment. The D5D features a crystal PLL jitter filter/memory to reduce jitter in the SDI outputs. The D5D decodes the full dynamic range of input video. Values below black and above white are not clipped. In the NTSC mode, the removal of the 7.5 IRE pedestal can be enabled by external dip-switch selection.

D10CE Universal SDI to Analog Converter:

The D5CE provides low cost, all digital conversion of SDI to either composite or component analog video. Three analog BNC outputs are user configurable to cover a wide range of format combinations including 3 composite, 1 composite and Y/C, YPbPr (SMPTE, EBU-N10), Betacam, or RGB. The D5CE also features a re-clocked, loop-thru SDI output. The D5CE automatically adapts to NTSC or PAL video standards. Pedestal and narrow/wide H/V blanking are user configurable via dip-switches.

D4E Serial to NTSC/PAL Encoder:

The D4E SDI Encoder provides the lowest cost all-digital conversion of SDI to analog NTSC or PAL. The D4E is useful for monitoring, level and phase checking, dubbing etc. The D4E automatically adapts to NTSC or PAL video standards and outputs analog NTSC (525 line inputs) or PAL (625 line inputs). Pedestal and narrow/wide H/V blanking are user configurable via dip-switches. The D4E encodes the full dynamic range of input video. Levels below black and above white are not clipped.

ADA4 4-Channel Bi-Directional Audio A/D & D/A Converter:

The ADA4 is a 4-channel converter that can be configured as a 4-channel A/D, a 4-channel D/A, 2-channel A/D and 2-channel D/A, or an AES sychronizer. The ADA4 can accept a AES11, wordclock or video sync/color black reference input for synchronization. Reference input and synchronization are automatic. Audio levels are configurable via dipswitch control.

HD10AVA SD/HD Analog Composite or Component Video & 4-Channel Analog Audio to SD/HD-SDI with Embedded Audio:

The HD10AVA is a miniature, high-quality, audio/video, HD/SD A/D converter. The HD10AVA automatically detects the video input format and embeds the audio inputs in the SDI/HD-SDI outputs. The HD10AVA is useful for adding an SDI/HD-SDI audio/video output to tape decks or any professional video equipment with analog outputs. The HD10AVA is especially useful for adding HD-SDI outputs to most HDV cameras or decks by using the component outputs of such devices. The HD10AVA uses a breakout cable for audio/video inputs and provides 3 SDI-HD-SDI on BNCs.
