Know before you buy
Yes, the BoxIO supports 4K resolutions. However, to achieve 4K at 60P 4:2:2, you will need to link two BoxIO units together.
No, the BoxIO is designed for zero-latency processing, ensuring your monitoring remains perfectly synced with your production feed.
The device features two independent SDI channels, allowing you to process two separate signals simultaneously. Note that when operating in dual-channel mode, 3D LUT support is 17x17x17, whereas single-channel mode supports higher-precision 33x33x33 LUTs.
Yes, it is fully compatible with industry-standard tools like Livegrade Pro and QTAKE. It supports real-time IP LUT updates, allowing for seamless integration into your on-set color management workflow.
Absolutely. The BoxIO is optimized for HDR workflows and supports high-bit-depth signals, including 12-bit 4:4:4, to ensure accurate color representation.
Yes, the BoxIO includes a frame capture feature with 16 internal memory slots. This allows you to capture, store, and recall frames for quick comparison on set.
