13 Io Express Installation and Operation Guide — Cabling the System
System software updates may occasionally become available to AJA Io Express owners on our
website (www.aja.com). We recommend checking occasionally for both software updates and
additional product information.
Note: If your workstation has previously had another video capture or multimedia card
installed, ensure you remove the card and/or uninstall any related software before installing
Io Express. This will prevent any hardware or software conflicts.
If you add Io Express supported applications at a later date and have not previously installed the
appropriate plugins, you must run the install program again selecting the appropriate
application support software to be installed.
Mac Pro Software
Installation Locate the AJA Io Express Software download or CD-ROM packaged with your system. Then
follow the procedure below to put the required software on the host Mac to be used with Io
Express. The system must be an Apple Mac Pro or MacBook Pro as described earlier in Chapter 1:
System Requirements. If you are going to use Adobe Applications with Io Express, you will need
to download and install a second Io Express package for Adobe for Mac.
Note: Before installing Io XT software, turn off any virus protection and security software that
you may have installed on your computer.
Mountain Lion OS and Gatekeeper
Also, with the addition of Gatekeeper functionality in Mac OS Mountain Lion, you should go to
System Preferences>Security & Privacy and choose to allow “Mac App Store and identified
developers.”
Mac Security & Privacy Gatekeeper Setting
Note: Before installing Io Express software, turn off any virus protection and security software
that you may have installed on your computer.
1. For CD-ROM: Insert the Io Express CD in the Mac, locate the Io Express CD icon on the OS
X desktop. Double click the icon to see the CD contents, which will appear in its own
window.
2. Locate the package file (download or CD); it has an icon that looks like a box and has a
“.pkg” or “.mpkg” suffix.
