Designed for creative, broadcast, audio, and post-production workflows, the AJA Io Xpand KONA 4 Bundle is a Thunderbolt 5 expansion solution that enables users to connect a full-height, half-length PCIe card to Mac, Windows, or Linux computers with Thunderbolt or USB4 ports. Modern laptops and small-form-factor systems deliver impressive processing power but often lack the PCIe expansion required for professional I/O, networking, storage, and media workflows. Io Xpand solves this by offering a x8 PCIe* 4.0 slot, support for single- or double-width cards, and up to 6000 MB/s bi-directional PCIe bandwidth.
This lightweight aluminum PCIe card enclosure protects the installed PCIe card in demanding production situations, while providing quiet operation under load in a temperature-controlled environment.
The Io Xpand is available with three optional KONA PCIe I/O card bundles offering cost-effective choices to match your needs. From single channel HD I/O with the KONA 1 to our flagship KONA 5, the Io Xpand bundles offer up to 4K HDR production proven solutions.
The Io Xpand brings professional PCIe connectivity to compact desktop, laptop, and workstations via Thunderbolt 5.
