Video hardware companies are looking to take advantage of Thunderbolt's 10Gbps per channel throughput, so you'll see several new Thunderbolt video products coming down the pike. Released last week, the $1495 is a portable video and audio capture box.

The Aja Io XT features hardware-based 10-bit standard definition (SD) to high definition (HD) conversion, HD to HD cross-conversion, and HD to SD conversion, as well as HD to SD 12-bit component analog output.

Ports include two 3G Serial Digital Interface (SDI) inputs and outputs, HDMI in and out, SD or HD Component output, and two Thunderbolt ports.
