Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Aja Io Express vs Matrox MX02 Mini: Who wins?

I'd be inclined to use the Blackmagic converters as they also embed analog
audio into the SDI output.

Also - weirdly B&H had the Io Express for $695ish yesterday, but I just
looked today and it's now $995.

Old (now discontinued with no price) Io Express:

New (is it actually different?) Io Express:
