AJA's T-TAP Pro provides video professionals with an inexpensive, extremely compact device that utilizes the power of Thunderbolt 3 to deliver high-quality 10- and 12-bit up to UltraHD or 4K 60p video and embedded audio output from any compatible Mac or PC.

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 v16 now offers HDR over SDI with VPID signaling of SDR and HDR characteristics. A new HDR Tab in AJA Control Panel, now signals HDR over both SDI and HDMI simultaneously.

For playback, AJA Control Room 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 it’s output accordingly via both 12G-SDI or HDMI.

4K Closed Caption Support

AJA Control Room software now supports ingest and playback of 4K content that carries Closed Captions when using T-TAP Pro.
