Io IP is the Video over IP member of the venerable I/O portable product line with support for connecting to the latest Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C laptops, minis and desktops.

Io IP is designed to fit into either hybrid or all-IP infrastructures, while bridging that familiar AJA Io experience that professionals rely on for critical work, into Video over IP workflows.

Io IP offers modes for either SMPTE ST 2110 or SMPTE 2022-6 uncompressed IP video standards, including transmission redundancy/hitless switching via ST 2022-7.

Io IP offers extended SMPTE ST 2110 support:

• 2110-10 (System Timing)
• 2110-20 (Uncompressed video)
• 2110-21 (Traffic shaping for Uncompressed Video)
• 2110-23 (Single Video Essence Transport over multiple ST 2110-20 streams for 4K/UltraHD)
  • For combining multiple ST 2110-20 Streams into a single video essence for 4K/UltraHD support*.
  • In this mode, KONA IP can either Transmit or Receive
• 2110-30 (PCM Audio)
• 2110-40 (Ancillary Data)
  • For transmittal and reception of timecode, closed captioning and more.
• 2022-7 Hitless Switching For Transmit

Broadcasters and facilities are able to synchronize production of audio, video and ancillary data elements, eliminating the need for embedding/disembedding to/from SDI while also reducing latency. 

*Either Input or Output. 4K/UltraHD I/O is not simultaneous.

Io IP provides two Thunderbolt 3 ports for true Thunderbolt flexibility.

Thunderbolt 3 doubles the speed of the previous Thunderbolt 2 standard with up to 40 Gps of throughput and utilizes the universal USB-C connection standard for true simplicity over a single cable and port for today's leading Mac and PC workstations and laptops, ideal for Video and Audio I/O as provided by the Io IP.

Thunderbolt 3 features:

• Thunderbolt, USB, DisplayPort, and power on USB-C
• USB-C connector and cables (small, reversible)
• 40 Gb/s: Thunderbolt 3 – double the speed of Thunderbolt 2
  • Bidirectional, dual protocol (PCI Express and DisplayPort)
  • 4x lanes of PCI Express Gen 3
  • DisplayPort 1.2 – supports two 4K displays (4096 x 2160 30bpp @ 60 Hz)
  • Lowest latency for PCI Express audio
• USB 3.1 (10 Gb/s) – compatible with existing USB devices and cables
• DisplayPort 1.2 – compatible with existing DisplayPort displays, devices, and cables
• Daisy chain up to six devices
