Described as a Thunderbolt 5-enabled PCIe expansion chassis designed to bring Kona and Corvid video and audio I\/O cards to Thunderbolt-equipped laptops, AJA Video Systems has introduced Io Xpand. Targeting applications where portability and space efficiency are important, the chassis allows users to combine a Thunderbolt 5 computer with a Kona 1, 4 or 5 cards to create a compact workstation for video capture and playback. Support is also provided for most Corvid I\/O cards, enabling developers to build smaller-footprint systems around AJA’s PCIe hardware.<\/p>\n
Compatible with Thunderbolt 3, 4 and 5, as well as USB4, Io Xpand supports Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems. The chassis accommodates full-height, half-length PCIe cards, including double-width cards and cards fitted with daughter boards.<\/p>\n
The chassis delivers up to 6,000MB\/s of bidirectional PCIe bandwidth to the installed card. Additional features include Thunderbolt daisy-chaining via a second Thunderbolt port, a temperature-controlled cooling fan and a lightweight aluminium enclosure designed for portable deployment. Io Xpand will be available as a standalone chassis or bundled with Kona I\/O cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Described as a Thunderbolt 5-enabled PCIe expansion chassis designed to bring Kona and Corvid video and audio I\/O…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":512830,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[61,60,80],"class_list":["post-512829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=512829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512829\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/512830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=512829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=512829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=512829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
