*NEW* AJA Io Express and Io HD 8.0 software available now!

[Gustavo Mendes]

Can someone be a bit more specific about what kind of RT performance I should expect? That is a bit too vague….

[Michael Sacci]

that is all that is ever given.

[Gustavo Mendes]

I know, but i would like to know, if possible, what kind of performance improvement was made…. I just hate the vague answers, like Apple does as well.

[Michael Sacci]

There is not a lot of RT help, I know the Kona card only helps with one area and that is with thin raster codecs, it handles the scaling so the CPU doesn’t have to. But as far as filters and such that is all process. The thing that helps the new programs like CS5 stuff is the graphics card not the video card.

[Gustavo Mendes]

That is why I got curious about it! I know how the Kona card and GPUs work but I just can’t see how the IO HD would benefit from it considering it’s a FW 800 external box.

Maybe it’s just a software optimization, but I’m still interested in knowing exactly what’s been improved, because I’m not really seeing performance changes….

[Aja Sales department]

The improvements to RT performance mentioned in the release notes for the 8.0 software were optimizations to improve the interaction between the AJA drivers and the Dynamic RT engine. This doesn’t represent any new RT effects handling, or more layers of video, etc.

Sorry if the way it was stated in the release notes wasn’t clear enough. Hopefully this additional information is helpful.

Thank you! That is what i wanted to know!

Hopefully this fixes an issue with the signal being squeezed during playback when certain filters are applied?
