Using T-TAP with Professional Video /Audio Software
After you install the T-TAP software and any AJA plug-ins to support your choice of 3rd-party
software, you’re then ready to begin playing back video and audio.
See
“Installing T-TAP Software” on page 6
for links to the AJA website to download plug-ins and
documentation for your favorite 3rd-party software applications:
Once you’ve installed all the AJA software as detailed in Chapter 2, you’ll find the AJA Control
Panel application in your Applications folder.
AJA Control Panel Overview
The AJA Control Panel is a software application that provides a simple visual window showing
how the T-TAP interface is currently configured, and that allows you to make changes. Current
settings—both those you changed and those you didn’t—can be saved as a snapshot for
recall at anytime. This lets you save settings associated with all your frequent tasks; then as
you switch tasks you don’t have to spend extra time resetting interface configurations—just
load the previously saved settings for each task.
One thing you’ll notice instantly about the Control Panel is that it represents a block diagram
of how the unit is configured. The current status, output settings, and many other details can
be viewed as a color-coded block diagram in the Control Panel.
To ensure you make the most of the software, launch the AJA Control Panel application and
look at its display. Then refer to the “Basics” described here to fully understand
what you’re seeing and learn how to view and change the T-TAP system
configuration.
Following are some basic definitions you should know.
