Questions & Answers

Noah S : I'm confused about the USB 3.0 vs 3.1, etc. BH has this product listed as 3.1, here it is 3.0. The AJA website says "Bus Powered through USB 3.0 (USB 3.2, Gen 1) interface to computer".  Are the products all the same generation?  What's a good USB A to C cable to use on newer Macs with this? Thanks.
Shopper : Will this work with the M1?
GREGORY G : Would this work to capture SDI video from a Sony D2 VTR to my laptop with USB 3.0 without dropped frames or problems?

Rated 5 out of 5

Solid performance everytime

What is like is this works everytime with no hassles. I paid more for this version because I read complaints about other converters at lower prices. I've had no issues - except one - and thats not their fault. For my camera using SDI I got ONLY half a screen output till I got the right combo of settings. This has to do with SDI A&B outputs at 3G. I still dont know the basics of this - I do have it working OK with OBS going to Zoom from my Sony z90 camera set at 2160 at 60i output.

Good product.

Worked well on my job. I've used AJA products for years and find them to be very good. I chose the SDI model & love that it has a loop out.

Streaming Made Easy

We just bought the AJA U-TAP SDI USB 3.0 device for streaming live broadcasts on Facebook and YouTube and it has performed well. It allows us to easily take the HD SDI output from a Sony PXW-Z150 and go into our streaming computer with one step. There was no installation needed to use with our streaming software. Its size makes it very portable and can fit in any of our tool kits and even a back pocket if needed.
