AJA's Developer Ecosystem is designed to help partners and developers incorporate AJA I/O products into their systems and solutions. By utilizing existing, proven, robust professional video hardware technology, partners and developers are able to leverage AJA's legendary quality and expertise to save money, achieve exceptional results and rapidly bring new integrated products or software compatibilities to market.
Developers who wish to use AJA’s world-class SDK can choose between two different methods to gain access and start putting their creativity to work with this rich, deep and powerful set of video technologies.
For the quickest and easiest way to get up and running with the core AJA SDK, we recommend the AJA Open-Source Developer path which is under the MIT license and hosted via GitLab.
For access to the AJA SDK including AJA proprietary technologies, and world-class support, we recommend the AJA Developer Program path. This is accessed via the dedicated AJA SDK Support Site.
Enrolling in the AJA Developer Program is via signed agreement and requires that the developer not publish proprietary AJA technology via GitHub.
It is entirely possible for a developer to begin on the AJA Open-Source Developer path, and if necessary in the future, apply to enroll in the AJA Developer Program path.
