AJA Video Systems has collaborated with Microsoft to ensure that a range of its audio and video I/O products support the new Hardware Out feature in Microsoft Teams.
Using the new feature with an AJA KONA 5, Io 4K Plus, or T-TAP Pro, live production and AV professionals can output SDI and HDMI high quality audio and video streams of events in remote locations and weave the footage into live productions at broadcast-quality.
Microsoft Teams Hardware Out support for compatible AJA hardware is accessible within the Teams interface once enabled by an administrator. Users click on the permissions tab, turn on broadcast capabilities, then select “Hardware Out” for the connected AJA device to receive the video signal.
A host of timing, resolutions, and frame rates are available to choose from, and once the settings are established, the user can then feed the signal out through the AJA device via SDI and HDMI to ensure a broadcast-quality signal that can be fed to routers, recorders, or other production equipment.
