Important: The final models of X.mio5 won't have a genlock connector. Cards must be sync'd to PTP.

General Notes

  • Please be aware that a xMIO5 uses a 16xPCI slot. It can't use the same slot as a xMio3.

  • To make sure the PTP is stable, all Power Management options in Windows and BIOS need to be disabled. ("runtime power management" disabled in BIOS settings)

  • xMIO5 boards require two IP adresses. This is mandatory.
