Avid DNxIO is Avid's HD & 4K I/O box which supports Multiple NLEs including Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, FCPX, DaVinci Resolve and more. It runs on both Windows and Mac and it connects to your computer via Thunderbolt or optional $400 PCIe card. The new updated software enables Avid DNxHR hardware encoding, LTC timecode and closed captioning. We’re thrilled to launch a brand new update to Media Composer with additional enhancements for use with Avid DNxIO hardware. The open and flexible DNxIO interface can be used together with Media Composer and many other creative tools such as Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. Avid DNxIO is designed to simplify and accelerate your high resolution workflows, enabling you to capture, monitor, and output media in the highest quality possible. With the release of Media Composer 8.4.5, you can now enhance capture from and output to devices connected to Artist | DNxIO hardware, adding the capacity to capture DNxHR-encoded media, capture and output with closed captioning and other ancillary data, and sync via LTC (linear time code).
