AJA Control Room is a professional media software for macOS, Windows, and Linux, enabling 8K/4K/HD/SD and HDR/SDR workflows. AJA Control Room is designed to be used with AJA hardware devices, and it can also operate as a stand-alone media player with full-screen playback and host system audio monitoring, supporting high quality professional media file types and formats.
AJA Control Room is a unified cross-platform software for playback, ingest, monitoring, and output. Whether you’re using files on a network, capturing a live feed, switching feeds for streaming workflows, or working with tape based media, experience the same smooth interface regardless of chosen OS.
AJA Control Room allows for working with numerous professional media types in 8K/4K/HD/SD including uncompressed video, the entire Apple ProRes family, the Avid DNxHD/R family, DVCProHD, H.265, H.264, and more, and also provides native 8K support when used with the AJA KONA 5.

AJA Control Room provides seamless bridging of your Apple ProRes workflows across macOS, Windows, and Linux.
With full cross-platform support for the entire Apple ProRes family of codecs, AJA Control Room provides comprehensive support for acquisition, production and delivery with the entire set of ProRes data rates and quality settings. ProRes read and write with AJA Control Room is supported across the entire range of AJA KONA, Io and T-TAP devices.
Metadata is the key for managing advanced workflows. AJA is bringing to market an entirely new way to harvest metadata in the SDI signal stream and export the metadata to a sidecar file.
This new feature, called AJA Control Room Metadata Toolset*, is being introduced in Desktop Software v17.1 and adds the following functionality:
Supports capture of any metadata type, including SCTE-104 and Dolby Vision metadata, that is part of the SDI Ancillary metadata payload.
Using an AJA KONA capture card that supports SDI input and the included AJA Control Room software (such as KONA 5 or KONA X), the card captures the metadata, which is then preserved in a metadata sidecar file.
AJA Control Room can playback the metadata to provide quality monitoring.
AJA Control Room can export the metadata synchronized with the media on a per-frame basis.
*macOS and Windows only
AJA Control Room’s interface focuses on the task at hand without adding unnecessary clutter. Intuitive controls are instantly recognizable, keyboard shortcuts and context sensitive menus streamline actions, layouts can be customized, and user presets saved, making it fast and easy to get your work done.
Create Bins, capture uncompressed video or choose from a range of compression options. Once captured, files can be simply played out through AJA hardware to professional SDI or HDMI devices/destinations, depending upon your choice of AJA I/O hardware.
AJA Control Room can be used as a free stand-alone professional media player, even on systems without any AJA hardware attached or installed.
When used without AJA hardware, video can be monitored full-screen using the host system GUI, and audio can be monitored with any internal or attached speakers.
AJA Control Room feels, looks, and works the same whether your sources and deliverables are files, live feeds, or tape. With the same intuitive interface available on macOS, Windows, and Linux, teams can feel comfortable when they need to capture, monitor, or output media, with the same features, controls and layout are available on whatever system they are working on. AJA Control Panel, which is AJA Control Room’s companion application for configuring your AJA hardware, extends the flexibility and speed for even the most complex and challenging workflows.
