AJA Video Systems has unveiled Io X3, a Thunderbolt 3-connected video and audio I/O device that offers HDR or SDR 2K/HD capture and output via 3G-SDI and HDMI.
Io X3 streamlines HDR I/O up to 2K/HD 60p on compatible Thunderbolt 3-equipped Mac or PC hosts running professional video and audio applications.
Whether working remotely, on-set, or in a studio, Io X3 provides a mobile solution for single-, dual-, and multi-channel SDI workflows, offering 2K/HD/SD I/O with HDR directly from any modern laptop or computer. Io X3 is a suitable capture and output device for a range of production environments, including colour grading, audio mixing, on-set monitoring, or playback, and remote editorial and VFX. With four independent inputs for workflows with OBS and Wirecast, together with simultaneous MultiView monitoring for each source, Io X3 is also a fit for streaming workflows.

Io X3 features eight switchable analog audio ports, allowing users to shift between eight channels in or out, or split connectivity between four inputs and four outputs, in addition to a 3.5 analog audio connection to plug in headphones directly. Up to 16-channel audio is included on each SDI port, and 8-channels on HDMI. Compact and rackmountable, Io X3 devices can be placed side by side in a rack for studio, mobile truck, or video assist needs, allowing users to benefit from up to eight channels of up to 2K/HD/SD I/O in a 1RU.
