High-Resolution and HDR Support
The software supports up to 8K resolution workflows along with full HDR integration. It handles modern production standards including HDR10, HLG, and PQ, ensuring accurate color representation across supported AJA hardware.
Wide Codec Compatibility
AJA Control Room supports a broad range of professional codecs including Apple ProRes, Avid DNxHD/R, DVCProHD, H.264, H.265, DPX, and uncompressed formats. This makes it suitable for broadcast, post-production, and digital cinema workflows.
Flexible Capture and Playback
Users can ingest media from live feeds, files, or tape-based systems and output them with consistent quality. The interface remains identical across platforms, improving workflow efficiency for production teams.
Stand-Alone Media Player Mode
