AJA was showing a trio of live streaming and production hardware devices.

AJA Helo is AJA’s new H.264 streaming and recording stand-alone appliance. HELO brings both SDI and HDMI I/O into a single appliance with the ability to simultaneously stream out to your Content Delivery Network (CDN) as well as encode and record beautiful H.264 files to either SD cards, USB storage or network based storage simultaneously. Helo is coming soon and will sell for $1295 AJA U-Tap USB3 capture devices. They are offering two flavors, SDI or HDMI at the same great price of $345. U-TAP is smaller than a smartphone, and is incredibly useful in the field, on set or at a studio where USB connectivity provides a quick and easy way to obtain SDI or HDMI sources for capture, without the need to install additional software drivers. Small enough to carry anywhere with you, its bus powered USB connectivity ensures you will never be looking for a power source. U-Tap is expected to start shipping by the end of May.
