A smaller and lower cost version of AJA's award winning Io, Io LD is designed to work with SDI digital systems, providing the highest quality video/audio interface to Mac OS X desktop systems running Final Cut Pro.

Io LD supports full 10-bit uncompressed video on digital inputs--and analog outputs and inputs. Io LD can be used in a desktop configuration or mounted in an optional 1-RU mounting bracket. Io LD and LA systems can grow along with you; start with either and then add the other in the future if you need a greater variety of inputs/outputs. Using the optional rackmounting kit, you can even mount them both together in an attractive rack chassis configuration.
