Using Io 4K for UltraHD/4K
This section describes the AJA Control Panel operations specific to Io 4K in 4K
Mode. Note that in 4K Mode, you can still capture and playback SD, HD, and 2K
formats, though there are no up/down/cross conversions available except for
UltraHD/4K down conversion on the dedicated SDI monitor output.
4K/UltraHD Transport Modes
The 4K and UltraHD SDI formats can use different transport modes, associated
with the number of links used to transport the signal, the data rates involved, and
the way the image data is organized.
Io 4K in 4K Mode supports both Quadrant and Two Sample Interleave
(2SI) transport standards. Many different combinations of modes and data
organization exist.
Besides single link transport, Io 4K in 4K Mode also supports the following
multiple link transport modes for UltraHD and 4K:
• Quadrant 4-wire (transported on four links)
• Quadrant 2-wire (transported on two links)
• 2SI (two or four links automatically selected)
The amount of data in the signal affects the number of links and data rates
necessary to carry that signal.
