AJA iOLA drivers/firmware

[Ron Thompson]

ALSO…despite running video into the LA, and seeing that the LA “sees” the signal, the control panel still says “No Video.” Further proof that I think I might have done something wrong.

Thanks

Boy, am I confused – why would you need an AJA I/O LA if you have the LH?

It’s easy to get the drivers for your I/O LA. Go to http://www.aja.com, click on Support, click on IO support, and you will see the I/O LA drivers on the list. Click on that, and it will load onto your system. Restart, and go to EASY SETUPS, and select an I/O LA setting in Easy Setups, and you will be in business. But the LH does everything you need – why do you need the I/O LA anyway?

Well for one thing, he has an easy way to transcode any analog signal to SDI by using that set up. On the LA he has a “real” S-VHS connector I/O, and ditto for the the composite and component analog connections. With the LH, you get one component cable, which you can then configure separately to either be composite, component or S-VHS (which BTW requires a specialty dual bnc to s-vhs conversion cable). If you are in a studio that uses S-VHS material, composite, component, SDI, HD/SDI and HD component all with frequency, his set-up allows you to have everything connected and available for use at once, instead of having to change cabling I/O for every different source he uses, as is currently required by the LH. To answer your own question, he has the best of both worlds!
