Apple silicon Support

AJA Desktop Software is optimized for the latest Apple silicon with native support for AJA macOS drivers, application plug-ins, AJA Control Room, AJA Control Panel, and AJA System Test.

10- and 12-bit,
up to UltraHD and 4K 60p

AJA's T-TAP Pro provides video professionals with a robust, portable, device that utilizes the power of Thunderbolt to deliver high quality 10- and 12-bit up to UltraHD or 4K 60p video and embedded audio output from any compatible Mac, Windows, or Linux computer.

HDR Support

T-TAP Pro directly supports HDR dependent monitoring workflows across a number of HDR formats, including HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), PQ, and HDR10, with support for Dolby Vision possible via additional third-party application integration. 

AJA’s Desktop software offers HDR over SDI with VPID signaling of SDR and HDR characteristics. The HDR Tab in AJA Control Panel signals HDR over both SDI and HDMI simultaneously.

For playback, AJA Control Room software reads HDR metadata embedded in .mov files and uses that to auto-set Control Panel to signal HDR accordingly, simplifying the workflow chain.

With T-TAP Pro and the appropriately captured/rendered HDR files, AJA Control Room can automatically detect the HDR format and T-TAP Pro can automatically adjust its output accordingly via both 12G-SDI or HDMI.

AJA Control Room Metadata Toolset

Metadata is the key for managing advanced workflows. The AJA Control Room Metadata Toolset works with most SDI signals that contain metadata like SCTE-104, Dolby Vision metadata, etc. Metadata can be captured and exported to a sidecar file. 

  • AJA Control Room can export the metadata synchronized with the media on a per-frame basis.

4K Closed Captioning Support

AJA Control Room

  • Supports CEA-608 or 608-in-708 via ANC extraction firmware

Avid & Adobe Plugins

  • All SMPTE-291 (ANC) based captions supported
  • Adobe CEA-708 passthrough for monitoring: When valid CEA-708 caption data is provided by Adobe Premiere Pro, AJA Adobe plug-ins can pass the data through to T-TAP Pro for SDI monitoring output.
  • Avid Media Composer supports active video ANC (line 21) or ANC via ANC extractor/inserter (up to UHD/4K)

Thunderbolt Connectivity

Simple to set up and use, T-TAP Pro’s Thunderbolt 3 port (compatible with later versions) easily connects to a wide range of macOS, Windows, and Linux laptops and desktops, providing instant professional video and audio output from your favorite creative application. 

Thunderbolt is widely available across Mac, Windows, and Linux computers and supports the massive bandwidth needed for professional 4K video, audio, data, and more. 

Professional Outputs

T-TAP Pro features 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 outputs. The SDI output can be used to feed professional monitors or recording gear, while the HDMI output is able to feed directly into consumer HDMI monitors. Both HDMI and SDI are active at all times, so you can simultaneously work with professional and consumer monitors.

Easy Integration

T-TAP Pro offers immense power in a very small footprint and features industrial design for silent desktop operation. This workflow example shows T-TAP Pro at the heart of a feature rich system, with a host laptop providing Thunderbolt connectivity between the two. Broad software support means that T-TAP Pro can output video from the timeline of your NLE or postproduction software simultaneously via the 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 outputs, shown here as an AJA Ki Pro Ultra 12G digital video recorder and a standard 4K/HDR compliant HDMI consumer monitor. Streaming content can also be enhanced, allowing an editor to share their NLE timeline output directly with viewers in real time, at any resolution required up to 4K 60p via the appropriate third-party software.

Flexible Audio Control

With T-TAP Pro, a 3.5mm stereo analog audio connection is available on the front left of the device for headphone monitoring. This is an invaluable feature for editors or digital artists working from home, easily creating privacy with no compromise to performance. You're able to plug in headphones directly, or else route the signal to an external analog audio mixer for more options. T-TAP Pro provides an elegant solution to monitoring audio with off-the-shelf tools readily available. 

As with other AJA Thunderbolt connected devices, the monitor audio presented is selected via included AJA Control Panel software and is controlled via the Audio Setup Tab. Any channel pairs can be monitored from 1&2 to 7&8 up to 15&16 with a single click and selection. The diagram above shows the signal flow and control options for T-TAP Pro. 

The front panel of the T-TAP Pro also features audio reference meters further enhancing its monitoring capabilities.

Extensive Software Support

T-TAP Pro is compatible with a broad array of software, including but not limited to Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe applications such as Premiere Pro and After Effects, plus Avid Media Composer and Pro Tools. T-TAP Pro also supports OBS Studio, Telestream Wirecast, and other popular software. AJA’s driver support ensures that you are up and running with the latest releases, with an ongoing commitment to future updates and enhancements via free, new firmware updates.

T-TAP Pro uses external power. This means T-TAP Pro can be used on a Thunderbolt™ 2 host system by use of a quality Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter. It should be noted, using a Thunderbolt 2 host will restrict what is possible, since T-TAP Pro is designed to use the full bandwidth of Thunderbolt 3.

 


Important macOS Mojave installation information

• With the introduction of macOS Mojave (v10.14), Apple now requests that third party kernel extensions be “notarized” by Apple. AJA’s device driver kernel extension has been notarized starting with AJA Software version 15.2. Apple has indicated that for security purposes, future macOS versions may prevent the loading of unnotarized device drivers, in which case, AJA software prior to v15.2 will result in AJA devices failing to operate (Unsupported AJA Device)

Important macOS High Sierra installation information

• With the introduction of macOS High Sierra (v10.13), Apple now requires that third party application developers be identified during kernel extension installations. Failure to do so will make AJA devices fail to operate (Unsupported AJA Device).

• Depending on your macOS version and AJA Desktop Software installation history, the following installation outcomes are possible:

◦ macOS Sierra and Earlier Supported Versions

- No problems exist for AJA software installation or updates with these earlier versions of macOS.

◦ Earlier macOS to High Sierra Update

- No problems should occur if the AJA Desktop Software package is already installed on macOS Sierra (or earlier) and then update your Mac to High Sierra. The identification of AJA as a trusted developer is “grandfathered in” to High Sierra.

◦ macOS High Sierra First AJA Desktop Software Install

- No problems should occur if your Mac is running High Sierra macOS, you install AJA Desktop Software for the first time, and you follow the instructions shown during installation (Figure 1).

- Do NOT click OK (Figure 1).

NOTE: If after successful installation, you remove AJA applications from your computer using the AJA Uninstaller developer identification is retained by macOS High Sierra. Reinstallation should proceed without any problems.

• Recovery from Installation Approval Failure:

◦ If you clicked OK during installation and skipped the developer approval step, the AJA Desktop Software installation will complete, but macOS’ GateKeeper security will prevent AJA’s device driver from loading, and AJA devices will not operate (Unsupported AJA Device).

◦ Apple has allowed a time window, within which you can belatedly approve a developer after installation. If you go to System Preferences>Security and Privacy, within 30 minutes of installation, the developer message and Allow button will be available for use. After 30 minutes, however, the message and button are removed from the window. Recovery from this involves uninstalling all AJA files (some manually), reinstalling the AJA Desktop Software package, and clicking on Allow for AJA Video Systems developer. 

• Recovery from Installation Approval Failure (2nd Level if necessary)

2. Access the Users Library, which is hidden. To access the library:
