Presets
Setups can be named and saved as a snapshot (Preset) for recall at any time. You
can save various AJA device Control Panel configurations associated with your
frequent tasks. You don’t have to spend time resetting interface configurations,
just load the previously saved Preset for each task. See
for more information.
If you work on multiple systems and want to carry your saved setups to another
location, you can copy your saved Preset files on to movable storage and load
them into any computer running the AJA Control Panel application.
Mac OS Preset Files Storage Location
• From the Finder, hold down the Option key (to display the Library directory)
and click on Go/Library/Application Support/AJA/<device name>/Presets/
Windows Preset Files Storage Location
• c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\AJA\Control Panel\<device name>
Presets\
NOTE: When you visually browse to the above location, depending on Windows OS
setting you may not be able to visually see the folder referred to in the path.
Instead, you have to fill out the rest of the Windows path manually (i.e. type the
rest of the address in the navigation bar when you hit the "end" of the browsing
path).
Default Preferences
When an AJA device starts up, a preference can determine what settings it will
have it when it begins to operate. The AJA Control Panel offers two default
preference settings:
• Local Preference - A preference stored from the last AJA device's Control Panel
settings to be used on next startup of AJA Control Panel. This occurs on next
restoration of the default state (triggered by start up of host CPU, startup of
the AJA device, or when a third-party application releases the AJA device).
• Global Preference - A preference saved for use as a global default start state
for an AJA device that can be shared by multiple users, applied on first startup,
or by pressing the Control Panel
Reset Device...
button.
Local Preference
The Local Preference file (com.aja.devicesettings) exists to immediately and
automatically store all parameter changes made by a user on a particular AJA
device. When any control is changed in the Control Panel, that change is recorded
in the Local Preference file stored in a unique location on that computer that is
dedicated to that particular device, serial number, and logged-in user. Then, when
AJA Control Panel is restarted for any reason, the AJA device being controlled
restores the settings being used when Control Panel was last closed.
The Local Preference file can be accessed at the following locations.
On Mac:
• From the Finder, hold down the Option key (to display the Library directory)
and click on Go/Library/Preferences/com.aja.devicesettings.
On Windows:
• C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Local\aja\com.aja.devicesettings
