“No you cannot play uncompressed video out firewire”

Have you tried it? I am doing it right now. It works on a G5. Apple Uncompressed 8 bit codec. No joke.

No, no you can’t!!!

Is firewire fast enough to carry a uncompressed SD video steam? Yes. Can you plug it into a TV and watch it? No, to do that you need a device like the AJA Io. That is what this post is about, not is firewire fast enough to play uncompressed video, obviously it is or they would not make the AJA Io.

Uncompressed video down firewire, is data, that has to have a device that can read it for it to be displayed. That is the only way to do it!!!

The Io is nothing more than a breakout box of input output connections..it adds no acceleration. You can play uncompressed video over firewire without it., if your computer is fast enough. It works. try it.

How can you try it if there’s nothing to plug it into? The IO is the only device in existence that would understand it. Every single other Firewire video device on planet Earth only understands DV streams, MPEG streams, etc.
