I shoot in 4K and edit in HD. Can T-Tap Pro take a 4K signal and downconvert to HD for playback?
Asked by: Erik
The AJA T-TAP Pro does not have built in downconverters. However, depending on the editing software, like Premiere Pro. You can have UHD/4K sequence and have the playback setting “match control panel” in Premiere Pro preferences with the T-tap Pro format set to HD/2K to playout.

Unfortunately, the AJA T-TAP Pro Thunderbolt 3-Powered Converter with 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 Output is not compatible with Blackmagic Design Davinci Resolve. Blackmagic Design is particular with its expansion devices and will need its own models.
