AJA is demonstrating support for the all-new Thunderbolt technology based HD/SD I/O with a product codenamed “Phaser”, which supports HDMI 1.3a input and HDMI 1.4 output for stereo playback, provides 10-bit up/down/cross-conversions, with RS422 device control and professional reference/LTC I/O, in a highly portable design.

A second product, “Riker,” AJA’s multi-format I/O technology for everything from SD to 5K workflows, is designed to address rapidly changing I/O and processing requirements via an arbitrary hardware scalar that enables users to scale up or down any sized-raster (up to 5K) in realtime at full quality. “Riker” connects to its host via high-speed 8-lane PCIe 2.0, over a 3-meter tether cable.
“Riker” and “Phaser” are technology previews only. Products supporting this technology are currently in development and will be announced soon.
