supported application that is running such as Adobe Pre

iere Pro or AJA TV, the AJA Control
Panel in-use
m
essage will report the change by displaying the new application in control. If no
in-use

QuickTime Application Format Selection
If a running QuickTi
m
e application uses KONA for capture or output, it controls the Pri
m
ary
for
m
at via its own
m
enus and settings. For exa
m
ple, when the editing application is active (it’s
the front-
m
ost application) and has KONA as its “A/V Device”, then the KONA's Pri
m
ary for
m
at
is deter
m
ined by the applications Video Playback sub
m
enu (under the “View”
m
enu) or its
“Audio/Video Settings...” dialog under A/V Devices. These for
m
at selections are reported in the
AJA Control Panel block diagra
m
.
QuickTi
m
e applications can start and stop and change
m
odes—even while they are running.
And the behavior of different QuickTi
m
e applications can vary: so
m
e applications take control
of the interface as soon as they are launched and don't give it up until they quit, while other
applications take control of the interface only when they are the “front-
m
ost” running
application and then relinquish control when they’re not. Even these QuickTi
m
e applications
m
ay not relinquish control until capture or output operations are co
m
pleted.
Control Recommendations
We reco
mm
end you have the Control Panel running and visible at all ti
m
es. When the Control
Panel is running in the background (not front-
m
ost) you can see what the interface is doing
and who has control of it.
