AJA Control Panel Operating Modes
AJA Control Panel has two fundamental operating modes.
Playback Mode -
Used for playing back video files from the computer, usually
with a non-linear editing application (NLE) or AJA Control Room, through the
Io IP’s video/audio outputs for viewing and/or external recording.
Capture Mode -
Used for capturing video/audio signals that are coming into the
Io IP from an external source to create video files on the computer using AJA
Control Room or an NLE, or just for display on the Io IP outputs. This mode is
also used for stand-alone video display or conversion when Control Panel is
being used without an external controlling application.
AJA Control Panel User Interface
The AJA Control Panel user interface includes a visual block diagram of the unit’s
current configuration. The current status, input and output settings, and many
other details are depicted in the color-coded block diagram. Below this block
diagram are various controls for changing operating parameters, which will vary
depending on which function screen has been selected.
The left side of the AJA Control Panel provides a navigation list of available
function screens. Clicking on a link (or alternatively, a related element in the block
diagram) displays a function screen corresponding to that topic.
NOTE: Although Io IP is sending and receiving video over IP, once that data is decoded
to memory it is governed by the same video menus used for SDI and HDMI based
AJA I/O solutions.
