AJA TAP-PRO Reviews

Very Solid Pro Device

By Dean
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2021-11-23

The signal quality out of the T-Tap pro is outstanding -- nice to not worry about Quicktime playback gamma issues anymore. And Aja tech support is second to none. Just like a pro device should be. One thing to note is that playback through the T-Tap pro must be via compatible software e.g, Adobe Premier, or by using the Aja Control Room player software. This is not like having a another monitor on your Mac -- you can not stream videos from Safari through it or simply use the Quicktime player app with it.

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.
