Description
Bring Epiphan AV.io SDI™ with you to capture 3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SD-SDI video and share using any computer with a USB port.

FAQs
The AV.IO models have no drivers to install? How does it work then? |
|---|
These products use USB Video Class (UVC) and USB Audio Class (UAC) drivers. These drivers come with the operating system, meaning there is no software for you to install and configure! |
Since AV.io models have no driver software, what do I need to capture video content? |
To capture video content with the AV.io models, you will need a software application that works with UVC hardware. Some such applications are native to certain operating systems, while most others need to be downloaded and installed from a third-party source. |
Help! My image appears reversed in my capture application! |
This is just a visual quirk – image mirroring happens with most UVC-friendly applications. But don’t worry! All captured video content will appear correctly despite appearing reversed in your application! |
There are black bars on either side of my captured video content. How do I get rid of these? |
By default, AV.io models preserve the aspect ratio of your input signal by adding black bars to the sides or top and bottom of the frame if the application using the signal requests a frame size with a different aspect ratio. This aspect ratio preservation option can be disabled by using the AV.io Config tool. |
Are there any configuration options at all with AV.io SDI? |
AV.io Config allows users several basic configuration options. Users can enable/disable special capture frame sizes, select the audio pair for capture, set aspect ratio preservation, choose power-saving performance mode, and update firmware on their AV.io SDI device |
What interface is needed for AV.io SDI? |
AV.io SDI connects to your computer via USB. It works best with USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed), but can also work with reduced performance (and without audio capture) when plugged into a USB 2.0 port. |
News
March 2020 and as lockdown started it was all about getting better and better web cams. We saw how awful the Zoom interviews on the news looked, all blocky backlit shadows and up-nose shots. A simple LED panel light would make a huge difference, and these flew out of the warehouse. The LEDGO LG-E268C has been on my desk ever since, on a tiny light stand which cost me £5.
With schools, colleges and universities closed, thousands of lecturers and teachers are turning to video for remote learning. However, nothing is as frustrating as great educational content spoiled by poor quality video, audio or a dull presentation. Wirecast helps educators rise above the mundane. It’s the most popular award-winning video production software for Mac and Windows, can create stunning results, but is easy to use.
