This chapter contains a list of supported video devices to record in SD, HD, or UHD. When using a Thunderbolt device from AJA or Blackmagic Design or when using PCIe chassis connected via Thunderbolt, please beware of the technical bandwidth limitations (especially when working with UHD signals).

Thunderbolt PCIe Speed

  • Thunderbolt 3: 16 Gbps

  • Thunderbolt 4: 32 Gbps

Please get in contact with us, when planning a Thunderbolt based ingest/recording setup.

We recommend providing a continuously stable signal during your recording processes, otherwise, the ingest process may be interrupted, and the recorded files may not be usable. To stabilize the signal in advance (= before it is sent to the video card input) please use a Frame Synchroniser.

AJA

Please ensure that the AJA Control Panel is launched automatically with the macOS system by configuring it in the Login Items section within macOS System Preferences (by default after AJA driver installation). If the AJA service fails to start correctly during system startup, the Just In Mac engine may exhibit unexpected behavior. You can choose to hide the AJA Panel afterward, if desired.

When using AJA PCIe cards within the Mac Pro, pleas ensure that you are using Slot 1 or 2.
