3D Stereoscopic
Workflow
Io XT offers you the simplest path through 3D stereoscopic workflows.
Through SDI, you can output Discrete Left and Right Eye feeds with a simple Stereo
button choice in the AJA Control Panel. Additionally, muxed stereo output is
possible using a single SDI output. AJA hardware and software works in close
collaboration with CineForm's Neo3D software tools and CineForm codec to allow
stereoscopic editorial and viewing when working with Apple's Final Cut Pro 7 or
Adobe's CS5.5.
Through it's HDMI 1.4a output, Io XT makes it possible to connect to affordable 3D-
capable monitors for stereoscopic monitoring.
Broadcast-Quality
Conversion
Io XT features hardware-based full 10-bit broadcast quality motion adaptive SD to
HD upconversion, HD to SD downconversion and HD to HD crossconversion.
The quality of the conversion features found in the Io XT is virtually identical to
AJA's award winning stand-alone converter products used throughout the post
production market. The Io XT built-in upconverter uses a a full 10-bit path, fully
motion adaptive de-interlacing, and large multi-point digital interpolators.
Downconversion uses large multi-point digital interpolators, anti-alias filtering and
interpolation.
