Open the AJA ControlPanel to configure an AJA Video Device.

The AJA ControlPanel may look differently and may offer variations in functionality depending on the driver version, the installed firmware and the hardware you are using. Always use the latest driver release.

Control

Format

Primary (Frame Buffer) Format: primary format of your playout. This is usually the same format you have chosen as the Output Format in just:connect. Although just:out will change the format automatically, we recommend to set the primary and – if available – the secondary format here.
RGB Range:
- SD Playout: FULL
- HD Playout: SMPTE
Secondary (Converted) Format: defining a secondary format allows you to get two different output formats of the same playout.

Video Setup

VOut Filters: Make sure the format you would like to use is activated here. This is very important especially for UHD/4K play out, because only those formats which are activated here can be selected as the output format in just:connect.
VANC: Activate this option to enable the AJA device to play out Closed Captions.
