AJA Control Room is unified cross-platform professional media software for macOS, Windows, and Linux, enabling 8K/4K/HD/SD workflows in numerous powerful ways. AJA Control Room supports live capture from cameras, consoles, tape, and disk-based sources, professional file playback, playout, and master-to-tape workflows from a single cross-platform application. 

AJA Control Room can be used as a stand-alone media player with full-screen playback and host system audio monitoring, or used in conjunction with AJA hardware devices, supporting input, output, and monitoring for high-quality professional media file types and formats including uncompressed .mov, DNxHD/R, ProRes, DPX, MXF, MP4, H.265, and H.264. The Deep Buffer feature can help maintain smoother capture and playback by reserving system RAM for I/O operations, reducing the impact of temporary storage, fabric, or network bottlenecks. Whether you’re using files on a network, live feeds, NDI, or even tape, experience the same smooth interface on macOS®, Windows®, and Linux.

AJA Control Room also includes cross-platform support for the entire Apple ProRes family of codecs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and adds native 8K support when used with the AJA KONA 5.

AJA Control Room comes bundled free as part of AJA’s desktop software for KONA®, Io®, and T-TAP Pro®. Installing the Desktop Software package will automatically install AJA Control Room.
