Installing Io Express Software

First ensure that your third-party editing applications are installed as detailed in their user
documentation. These applications must be installed and have been run at least once prior to
installing AJA Io Express software. Next, go to the AJA website to download the latest Io
Express software. If you don’t have an appropriate internet connection, use the CD-ROM
supplied with the Io Express system to install necessary software drivers and the AJA
Control Panel. You cannot use Io Express with third-party software until the AJA Io Express
software has been installed on the host workstation.
