Program
AJA technology is at the core of many great products. Superior quality and a straightforward development kit make AJA’s Developer products easy to integrate into any Windows, Mac or Linux environment.
Working Together
AJA’s Developer program allows partner companies to incorporate AJA products into their systems. By utilizing existing, proven video I/O devices, partners leverage AJA’s expertise to develop and support these technologies, saving money and getting their integrated products to market more quickly.
AJA has a long history of building high quality, reliable video devices for the video industry. The AJA Developer Program provides you with access to that pedigree for integration into your own products.
Many of AJA’s retail products are available for developer use. Whether you need to incorporate conversion technology into a prebuilt package using one of our full range of Mini-Converters, or integrate a KONA video I/O card into a custom setup, you have access to all the power and quality of AJA.
For more specific applications, the Corvid family of products uses the same technology as the retail cards but provides alternate form factors that allow you to further customize your configuration.
With capabilities starting from single Channel I/O to multiple, simultaneous I/O stream, direct optical fiber integration and high bandwidth applications, there’s a Developer product to fit every need and every price range.
AJA’s comprehensive SDK and development tools will help you integrate into any environment with support for Windows®, OS X and Linux®. As a developer partner you will have direct access to AJA’s technical support team, which is known throughout the industry for fast and effective response.
