AJA Control Panel Overview
The AJA Control Panel is a software application that provides a simple visual
showing how the KONA IP hardware is currently configured and allows you to
make changes. You can change signal input and output parameters and define
the video processing that will be performed.
The AJA software installer automatically installs the Control Panel application on
your computer.
