Questions & Answers

boba a : I want to capture the signal from a canon C300 and use an SDI to feed into my iMac Pro for use with ZOOM. What is the correct AHA device?  Have USB 3.0
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?MARK C : Needed plug and play and Aja products are fantastic.JUMAJAN K : needed it for my friend's workFRANCIS V : recommendedROGER M : The BlackMagic UltraStudioHD worked well, but I had trouble using it as, essentially a webcam, which has become an important part of my business - same story as many others, worked in some online meetings, but not in Zoom very well - video worked fine but it would never bring the audio into zoom, apparently this device will be seen as a "webcam" in zoom and that's become an important thing for me to offer my clients.DANE C : I've used this device for webcasting at work and it has a very durable chassis and was very simple to set up and use. The U-Tap is plug and play and it does not require a driver or specialized software to be installed. I used the U-Tap in conjunction with OBS Studio Software, Zoom, and YouTube and WorkPlace broadcasting.RAFAL B : Simple and budget solution for turning my camera to Zoom or Skype webcam.NADIA M : my boss told me to.

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.

AJA works as it should

By Glenn N.

Worked perfectly and easy to use right out of the box

U-TAP SDI offers USB 3.0 connectivity including bus power and the ability to simply and easily bring in video and audio across SDI for use with a wide range of software without any drivers to install, empowering your projects anywhere you travel.

Pocket Power
U-TAP SDI is smaller than a smart phone and is incredibly useful in the field, on set or at a studio where USB connectivity provides a quick and easy way to obtain SDI sources for capture, without the need to install additional software drivers. Small enough to carry anywhere with you, its bus powered USB connectivity ensures you will never be looking for a power source. U-TAP SDI supports frame rates up to 1080p 60, for your HD High Frame Rate (HFR) projects, perfect for live events and fast moving subjects. U-TAP SDI also provides a SDI looping output, allowing you to loop through the source SDI signal to monitors, switchers and more. U-TAP SDI, pocket power to go.

Software Compatibility
U-TAP SDI is UVC and UAC compatible on Mac, Windows and Linux, negating the need for additional drivers. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of professional software applications and a seamless integration between the native software and AJA's high quality hardware letting you focus on the work, not the technology.
