• A block diagram to show visually what routing and processing is being

AJA Control Room
Control Room is a cross-platform software application for capture, playback and

AJA System Test
AJA System Test is a utility for measuring system performance. The application
includes:
• System Disk Test
• AJA Device Test
• System Report
The application tests Read and Write, Capture and Playback speeds tests in both
Megabytes per second and Frames per second. The disk speed tests differ from
standard disk I/O performance applications in that they specifically test the
system under conditions typically encountered with video capture, playback, and
editing.
NOTE: Theoretically the best test is to fill your storage disk to 80% and then test capture
at the highest data rate you will use.
