AJA T-TAP THUNDERBOLT BOX

 

10-bit output, SD, HD and 2K

The AJA T-TAP™ box offers professional video users in a particularly compact, self-powered box via the Thunderbolt™ port, 10-bit SD, HD and 2K video output with embedded audio compatible with MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac mini.

Smaller than a simple deck of cards, T-TAP offers broadcast quality that fits in the palm of your hand.

Thunderbolt connectivity

As simple to set up as it is to use, T-TAP connects to the Mac via the super-fast Thunderbolt™ port, which provides all the bandwidth needed to reproduce a broadcast-quality audio/video signal.

What's more, since T-TAP is powered by the Thunderbolt™ connection, no additional power supply is required, further simplifying cabling and portability.

The power of Io XT

Based on the same architecture as the AJA Io XT Thunderbolt I/O box, T-TAP offers true broadcast-quality 10-bit output. This 10-bit quality is far superior to that offered by DisplayPort adapters, which only support 8-bit pixel depth and are not suitable for professional video use.

Professional outings

T-TAP offers both HD/SD-SDI and HDMI outputs. The SDI output can be used to connect to broadcast video monitors or recording devices, while the HDMI output can be used to operate less expensive HDMI monitors. Both HDMI and SDI outputs are permanently active, enabling use with both professional and consumer equipment at the same time.

3D support

Need a compact solution for viewing 3D signals? No problem. T-TAP can display signals directly from the HDMI output that are compatible with 3D monitors for stereoscopic viewing, without the need for additional hardware.

Built-in audio

Although compact, T-TAP doesn't compromise on audio management. It supports 8 built-in audio channels for multi-channel playback, perfectly suited to 5.1 or 7.1 mixes.
