AJA Control Panel Overview
20
To establish a Global Preference, the administrator first configures the AJA device (which
automatically creates a “com.aja.devicesettings” Local Preference file in the location identified
above) and then copy or move or that file to the correct computer locations (manually or by pushing
it out across the network) on all the computers that use the AJA device.

If the user makes changes to an AJA Device's Control Panel settings, those changes are saved to the
Local Preference file, which will take priority over the Global Preference file.
The shared computer locations for a Global Preference file are:

or move the “com.aja.devicesettings file” described above to this location.
