This chapter contains a list of supported video devices to do a playout in SD, HD or UHD. When using a Thunderbolt device from AJA, Blackmagic Design or Sonnet, please make sure that the speed of the Thunderbolt bus is at least 20 Gbit/s (i.e. Thunderbolt 2). This is especially important when playing out in UHD.

- AJA version 14.3 and higher is currently not compatible with our Playout Engine and therefore we recommend to use AJA Driver version 14.2.1 until this issue is solved.
- BMD version 10.12 and higher is currently not compatible with our Playout Engine and therefore we recommend to use BMD Desktop Video driver version 10.11.4 until this issue is solved.
- When using just:live/play with Blackmagic devices it is not possible to use the DSK-based (Live Key) method to switch from Live Video to Video Playout. Instead the non DSK-based method can be used. In addition, the playout or pass-through of closed captions does not work with Blackmagic devices. Refer to the chapters DSK-based Switch to Live Configuration and Non DSK-based Switch to Live Configuration.
Listed here are all UHD/4K devices we have tested with UHD playout up to 30 fps. However it is possible that other devices which also support UHD/4K will work as well
