AJA & Avid in Bed

Whatever they do, the IO line is based on Prores. They won’t go to faraway from FC.
Probably AJA is waiting as well the “Final Cut Awesome” as Jeremy call it.

Yeah, I’m kind of between a rock and a hard place about the new FC when it comes out. I want all the bells and whistles but I have a 2008 MacBook Pro so I doubt it will handle it. I only have a duo core processor and 4 gig of RAM. Real time effects in multiple layers will still probably be glacialy slow. I still want it though!

not that I’m especially inclined to speculate on this occasion but to be fair theres really only 1 item in AJA’s “IO” lineup (albeit the flagship item) that is based on ProRes

The next version is gonna be awesome… 😛

a 64 bit FCP will be able to use both MacBook Pro cores. You will be fine.

This is very true. The ioExpress is codec agnostic.

“Except that it can’t handle uncompressed HD codecs.
I suspect that’s why it’s being confused as a ProRes device.

Certainly not on a laptop, but it can on a desktop (it’s PCIe after all). See screen grab here:
Also, you probably aren’t going to be working in uncompressed HD on this style of capture device.
Just sayin’.

“What’s up with their literature and website Jeremy? It sure seems to imply that the device can’t handle unc. You might want to mention that to them…

I think it’s pretty clear, no? From AJA.com:
“If you work with a wide variety of formats, frame rates and audio/video sources, Io Express provides the connectivity you need. With its small footprint it offers big features, like 10 or 8-bit uncompressed video, HDMI I/O, HD/SD-SDI I/O with 8 channels of embedded audio, analog component video (SD/HD) or composite output, 2-channel unbalanced audio output, and broadcast quality hardware-based down-conversion for flexible post production. The HDMI I/O is v1.3a at 30 bits per pixel, providing ideal support for the very latest 10-bit monitors.”
At the bottom of the page, it has some codecs listed, but it says it’s for laptop ingest/playout only, as I think this is poised as mainly a mobile device. For a few hundred bucks more and if you have a desktop, I would think someone can get the more fully featured LHi. I will be curious to see just how far Avid supports it, though.
