Work faster and easier

Avid Artist | DNxIQ is the only interface that offers a built-in hardware encoder to capture to Avid DNxHR, enabling you to edit 4K files easily and speed up your workflow. It also enables you to see exactly what media is being ingested or sent out of production through the built-in front-panel HD LCD. Change your source or time code input with the press of a button. And get reliable operation—and peace of mind—with redundant power supplies.

Get Universal Mastering

To speed and ease playback and tape workflows, Avid Artist | DNxIQ offers accelerated Universal Mastering, enabling you to deliver broadcast/final masters in virtually any format, for any market. The interface offers real-time format and frame-rate conversion on all baseband SDI, HDMI, and analog output connections, making it the ideal—and most efficient—finishing companion for Media Composer and the Media Composer | Symphony Option.

Get extensive format support

Open your media workflow to handle every popular media format. Avid Artist I/O interfaces support a wide range of video formats, including 4K (DCI), 2K (DCI), UHD, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, NTSC, and PAL. Work with a variety of codecs. Get onboard DNxHR encoding with Avid Artist | DNxIQ. View your work across a gamut of color spaces, including HDR monitoring. You can even take advantage of onboard 3D processing to support 3D stereoscopic workflows.

Capture pristine quality video

Create and deliver content in the highest quality imaginable—from first ingest to final output. Each interface offers a host of professional, premium-quality video and audio connectors, providing support for a variety of video cameras, devices, and high frame-rate workflows. Handle HD, Ultra HD, and full 4K media with ease—at up to 60 fps—and everything in between.

Use your favorite tools

Avid Artist I/O is an easy fit for any production, working with a wide range of professional Avid and third-party video editing, audio, visual effects, and graphics software. This gives you the flexibility to capture, edit, monitor, output, and deliver high-quality content using the tools you know and love now—and the solutions you may want in the future.

Record voiceovers easily

Need to overdub some dialog or narration? It’s easy. Only Avid Artist I/O enables you to capture high-quality recordings through direct audio punch-ins to the Media Composer timeline using the front-panel XLR microphone input. All interfaces also provide 48 V of phantom power, so you can use condenser mics without requiring a separate audio interface or power supply.

Boost your bandwidth

Get the reliable throughput you need to handle high-resolution formats. All three interfaces feature lightning-fast Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, providing transfer speeds up to 40 Gb/s to your Mac or Windows-based host computer (Avid Artist | DNxIQ also offers optional PCIe connectivity). Experience exceptional performance, highly accurate time sync, and ultra-low latency—even with bandwidth-intensive 4K workflows.

Accelerate your workflow

Avid Artist I/O offers additional benefits to speed and ease your workflow. With onboard down-, up-, and cross-conversion, you can quickly scale media to meet your production needs. Plus, you can keep things in perfect sync with the internal clock, genlock reference, and linear time code lock.

Monitor surround sound mixes

No need to connect a separate audio monitoring solution into your workflow. You can monitor 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound mixes using either of the two interfaces. Avid Artist | DNxIQ offers 8 channels of audio through SDI and HDMI (embedded audio). And coming soon, Avid Artist | DNxIV and DNxIP will deliver 8 channels of audio through a DB25 audio connection (breakout cable sold separately).
