Its flexible form factor fits in standard 19-inch equipment racks for easy integration in equipment rooms, and it's quiet enough to place on the desk of an edit bay. The HD display allows editors to monitor media that is being ingested into and outputted from the system, even when the software is not running.

Hands-on controls allow users to quickly select video, audio, and timecode inputs as well as deck control.

Avid Artist | DNxIO is bundled with the Fusion Connect plugin for Media Composer giving users access to the best-of-breed node-based effects compositing tool from within the Media Composer user interface. Onboard DNxHR encoding for capture workflows will be enabled on DNxIO via a future no-cost firmware update. Updated software for supported creative editorial applications will be required to take advantage of this capability.
