Once you’ve installed all the AJA software as detailed in Chapter 2, you’ll find the AJA
Control Panel application in your Applications.
AJA Control Panel Overview
The AJA Io XT Control Panel is a software application that provides a simple visual
window showing how the Io XT interface is currently configured, and that allows you to
make changes. Settings—both those you changed and those you didn’t—can be saved
as a snapshot for recall at anytime. This lets you save settings associated with all your
frequent tasks; then as you switch tasks you don’t have to spend extra time resetting
interface configurations—just load the previously saved settings for each task.
One thing you’ll notice instantly about the Control Panel is that it represents a visual
block diagram of how the unit is configured. The current status, input and output
settings, and many other details can be viewed as a color-coded block diagram in the
Control Panel.
