Hi Stuart

Glad AJA sorted you out, but in case you get in the same situation in the future the UK AJA distributor has swap out stock and would ship you an advanced replacement overnight.

Hello Juha

This is quite a big question to answer.

Regardless of the responses you may get I would advise that you also talk to an integrator such as TV Tools in Finland who can help with all of this and local support. TV Tools are very experienced with AJA and the sort of set up you are asking for.

If you’d like an introduction or if I can help in any way let me know.

Kind regards

Hello Andy

Sure it’s a distinction, obviously the user needs to decide if that will actually make any difference in the real world (in other word they’ll need to buy a colour critical monitor to do colour critical work).

But reading your post on the Matrox forum:

“Do you need color critical monitoring on a non-broadcast reference HDMI display? If the answer to this is “Yes” then all else is moot. TheMXO2 is the solution you need because the Io HD cannot provide that workflow.”

Agreed the IoHD can only provide colour critical output via HD/SDI,

but you seem to be suggesting that you get color critical monitoring on a non-broadcast reference HDMI display? Which I think you do not?…..

Kind regards

Matty

Hello Andy

Being able to calibrate the output of the MXO2 is one thing.

But what about the monitor? A cheap screen with HDMI input does not become colour critical based on what it is fed does it?

Surely a monitor that can be fully calibrated, put together by companies who understand colour critical needs and has been hand selected from the many LCD panels that don’t come up to scratch and are discarded (selected from the same LCD sheets as your mobile phone) will cost that much more and have HD/SDI inputs anyway. So you just use the 10 bit HD/SDI feed from the IoHD/Kona etc.

Of course folks want to save money on monitoring (as they do video cards) but I think it’s important to be clear of what products can and can’t do in a real world environment.

Hello Micah

Whilst the AJA Io range are FCP based product, the AJA Kona cards (Mac) and Xena cards (PC) both work with Adobe Premier so you perhaps should consider compare those with the MultiBridge?

What’s more you could say the Kona/Xena range are more comparable to the MultiBridge as they are also PCI/PCIe based cards designed for working with Desktop computer.

The Io range are designed principally to work with Laptop computers (Mac). The Multibridge does not.

If you do some searches you should find many strings regarding the many pros and pros of using Kona/Xena product over the Multibridge. But if you need some assistance let us know.

Hello Pablo

My name is Matty Causon and I’m the rep for AJA in Europe

Seems the forum has given you some of the answers you were needing but if you have further questions (e.g., 2K editing can be demanding on storage) , etc., then perhaps I can assist.

We also have an experienced network of qualified dealers throughout Europe who will be able to advise and offer local support as well as execute the 3 year advanced replacement warranty on Kona products (if needed). By the way, that’s another big differentiator between AJA and some other competitors.

So, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you’d like to chat.

Best regards

Hello Zaman

I’m responsible for AJA in Europe.

I think you have the pricing for two different Xena models (there are three versions).

If you send me your contact details I will see that we get you the correct pricing.

Al;ternatively you can contact Dave Jones from Digibox, the UK distributor, for clarification:
