Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
T-TAP Pro is a simple, high-quality device to output audio and video from
Thunderbolt™ enabled computers, with AJA’s broad, bullet-proof application
compatibility. It is a mobile device that can easily output pristine 4K, UltraHD or
HD signals from a wide selection of editorial, graphics, color and audio software
packages. It taps the flexibility of the widely available Thunderbolt 3 port, which
is common on modern Apple and PC workstations and laptops.
T-TAP Pro features the latest 12G-SDI and HDMI v2.0 connectivity for working with
4K or UltraHD over a single cable, allowing you to easily output deep color, high
frame rate, and HDR imagery to a wide range of pro and consumer monitors and
devices, all at the highest 10- and 12-bit uncompressed quality.
Audio support is extensive, with up to 16 channels of SDI embedded audio and 8
channels on HDMI. The integrated headphone jack provides easy monitoring of
any two audio tracks, and the front panel VU meters give you a quick visual guide
of your audio levels.
Because T-TAP Pro's internal 12G signal processing requires more power than the
Thunderbolt bus can provide, an external power supply is required and provided.
Like all AJA Desktop products, T-TAP Pro is compatible with a huge range of
creative applications for editorial, audio production, graphics, and much more. All
of this is powered by AJA’s highly respected Desktop software, with field proven
drivers and application plug-ins.
