AJA Video Systems has unveiled T-TAP Pro, a silent and portable Thunderbolt 3-connected monitoring and output device that simplifies 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD/SD monitoring and output.
Ideal
for a range of production scenarios, T-TAP Pro provides high-quality video
monitoring, including High Dynamic Range (HDR) support for high frame rate
(HFR) and large raster workflows from a Thunderbolt 3 host system.
“T-TAP
Pro was developed for production professionals who require the highest quality
video output wherever they’re working,” said Nick Rashby, President, AJA Video
Systems.
“This
robust and powerful device enables monitoring and output of high bandwidth
4K/UltraHD and pristine HDR content directly from your laptop or desktop
computer, with the power and convenience of a single Thunderbolt 3 cable.”
T-TAP
Pro is suitable for high-end colour grading, audio mixing, editorial and visual
effects, in addition to on-set monitoring and playback. The device powers
high-quality HDR and HFR video monitoring up to 4K/UltraHD over 12G-SDI and
HDMI 2.0 from any supported Thunderbolt 3-enabled Mac or PC.
For
audio workflows, T-TAP Pro features multi-channel embedded audio on SDI and
HDMI, and a 3.5mm stereo analogue audio connection that provides a convenient
method for monitoring audio, enabling editors or digital artists to plug in
headphones directly to the device or connect to an external analogue audio
mixer.
AJA
technology partners have already begun work to deliver T-TAP Pro support across
popular broadcast, post and proAV solutions. T-TAP Pro support is coming for
Colorfront Express Dailies, Colorfront On-Set Dailies, Colorfront Transkoder
and Colorfront Streaming Player, for example.
Bruno
Munger, Director of Business Development, Colorfront, shared: “AJA’s new T-TAP
Pro arrives at the perfect time, bringing great value to production and post
professionals with an in-demand feature set and compact form factor.
“It
delivers the advanced, high-end connectivity that our customers require when
using our professional streaming player and other solutions on both laptops and
small desktop computers.”
T-TAP
Pro is now available for the manufacturer's suggested retail price of US$795
through AJA’s worldwide reseller network. The device comes with a three-year
international warranty.
