Chapter 1 – Introduction
Introduction
AJA I/O devices support a broad range of creative software. OBS Studio is
a powerful live video production application. For Video Input, Output and
Monitoring, AJA Thunderbolt devices and PCIe cards can be relied upon to
provide the quality and stability required for live video workflows.
This document gives you some general procedures for setting up AJA I/O devices
with OBS, including selecting live video inputs, sending your produced video out
from OBS, and monitoring audio sources.
Supported AJA I/O Devices and their Capabilities
OBS supports a variety of AJA I/O devices, which can bring different capabilities
to your OBS application. Multiple AJA I/O devices can be connected and operated
simultaneously, making all the devices’ connections available to your OBS system.
For example, you can configure a KONA HDMI and a KONA 4 with one OBS
system to provide four HDMI inputs and four SDI inputs simultaneously for HD
workflows. Refer to the link below to learn more about the capabilities of each
AJA I/O device:
https://www.aja.com/family/desktop-io
https://www.aja.com/family/mobile-io
Below are recommended AJA devices for different requirements:
4K/UltraHD Workflows
IMPORTANT: A multi-channel 4K/UltraHD workflow will require a very powerful host
system to handle the demand.
NOTE: OBS only supports two channels of Output via the Preview and Program Output
settings. So while the KONA 5 can physically support 4 channels of 4K/UltraHD
output with the 8K firmware loaded, the OBS software can only be configured for
two channels.
Multi Channel SDI Workflows for 4K/UltraHD
• AJA KONA 5 - up to 4x SDI In or 4x SDI Out, and SDI 4 Out can be exchanged
for HDMI Out
• AJA KONA 4 - up to 4x SDI In (Up to two channels of 4K/UltraHD) or 4x SDI Out
(Up to two channels of 4K/UltraHD), and SDI 4 Out can be exchanged for HDMI
Out
Single Channel HDMI Workflows for 4K/UltraHD
• AJA KONA HDMI - up to 1x 4K/UltraHD HDMI In
Mobile Multi Channel SDI Workflows for 4K/UltraHD
• AJA Io 4K Plus (via a Thunderbolt 3 connection) - up to 4x SDI In (Up to two
channels of 4K/UltraHD), or 4x SDI Out (Up to two channels of 4K/UltraHD).
SDI 4 Out can be exchanged for HDMI Out, and SDI 1 In can be exchanged for
HDMI In.
AJA and OBS Quick Start Guide v16.2 5 www.aja.com
NOTE: The T-TAP Pro will support up to one channel of 4K/UltraHD Output from the SDI
& HDMI Outputs simultaneously.
HD Workflows
Multi Channel SDI Workflows for HD
• AJA KONA 5 - up to 4x SDI In or 4x SDI Out, and SDI 4 Out can be exchanged
for HDMI Out
• AJA KONA 4 - up to 4x SDI In or 4x SDI Out, and SDI 4 Out can be exchanged
for HDMI Out
Multi Channel HDMI Workflows for HD
• AJA KONA HDMI - up to 4x HD HDMI In
Mobile Multi Channel SDI Workflows for HD
• AJA Io X3 (via a Thunderbolt 3 connection) - up to 4x SDI In, or 4x SDI Out.
SDI 4 Out can be exchanged for HDMI Out, and SDI 1 In can be exchanged for
HDMI In.
• AJA Io 4K Plus (via a Thunderbolt 3 connection) - up to 4x SDI In, or 4x SDI Out.
SDI 4 Out can be exchanged for HDMI Out, and SDI 1 In can be exchanged for
HDMI In.
IMPORTANT: Some AJA devices (e.g. KONA 5, KONA 4) support multiple firmware versions
offering different capabilities. For example, one version might support multiple
simultaneous HD/SD workflows, and another version might support UltraHD/4K
or UltraHD2/8K workflows. You will need to install the appropriate firmware
version on your AJA device. Refer to your AJA device’s Installation and Operation
Guide for detailed information.
NOTE: OBS Studio does not support 8K workflows with KONA 5. The Io4K Plus device
used for the examples in this Quick Start Guide supports a single firmware
version, and so does not require installing different versions for different OBS
functionality.
NOTE: OBS Studio does not support the Io IP, Avid Artist DNxIP, or the KONA IP even
though the devices will be recognized as available in OBS if connected to the host
system.

Figure 4. OBS Auto-Configuration Window
Adding a Video Input for a Multi Channel HD
Workflow
NOTE: The following instructions use an AJA Io 4K Plus as an example for the I/O device.
1. Upon opening OBS, if you are planning to use more than one input or
source, it would be beneficial to select the “Studio Mode” button in the
lower right-hand corner in order to view both your Preview & Program
windows.
Figure 5. OBS Standard Mode
AJA and OBS Quick Start Guide v16.2 11 www.aja.com
2. Click on the “+” icon in the Sources Window to add your rst AJA capture
device.
Figure 6. OBS Sources Window
3. Next you will want to select the “AJA I/O Device Capture” camera icon at the
top of the list. For This tutorial we will show you how to add one HDMI input
and two SDI inputs.
Figure 7. OBS Source Menu Options
NOTE: To add an AJA U-TAP, you will need to select the Video Capture Device Icon and
the Audio Input Capture icon.
4. Here you will hit “OK” to accept the new AJA I/O Device Capture source.
Each time you add an AJA I/O Device Capture from the sources window, a
new enumerated title will be available for you to create as a source.

Figure 8. OBS Create/Select Source Window
5. The Properties for AJA I/O Device Capture will allow you to select the
Device, Input, Mode and desired Video Format. If there is video present
on that device and input, you should see that image active in the window
when you select it. When applicable, a 2- wire or 4-wire source can be
selected here. If a channel is already in use for input or output, it will appear
grayed out. In most cases, selecting the default “Auto” option for Video
Format is the easiest method to capture your video.
Figure 9. OBS Properties for ‘AJA I/O Device Capture
NOTE: With the Io4K Plus, you can only select an HDMI input if the SDI 1 Input is not
being used for an input or output.
AJA and OBS Quick Start Guide v16.2 13 www.aja.com
6. After hitting “OK”, you will now see the video appear in the Preview window.
Simply use the slider, Transition, Cut, or Fade button to send the video to
the Program. This will now allow the audio for the source to be active in the
Audio Mixer. With the Io4K Plus, there are four channels of video available.
We have used the rst channel for the HDMI input and now additional
channels of SDI input can be added by repeating the previous four steps.
We can only use three channels for inputs for the Io4k plus if we want to use
the fourth available channel for an output.
Figure 10. OBS Studio Mode with Three AJA I/O Sources
7. If you are using an interlaced source, right click on the video in the Preview
monitor and select the desired “De-interlaced “ option.
Figure 11. OBS Deinterlacing Options
AJA and OBS Quick Start Guide v16.2 14 www.aja.com
Routing OBS Output to an I/O Device’s SDI or HDMI
Output
You can configure an AJA I/O devices’ SDI or HDMI output port for your OBS
Program or Preview output. Many AJA I/O devices’ SDI ports are bi-directional.
The Io 4K Plus can receive up to four SDI inputs. With the Io 4K Plus, SDI 4 Out can
be exchanged for HDMI Out, or SDI 1 In can be exchanged for Channel One HDMI
In while still utilizing SDI 2 and 3 for two additional inputs. Alternatively, the Io 4K
Plus can receive three SDI inputs and send one SDI output, or it can receive two
inputs and send two outputs simultaneously. Under the Audio Monitoring tab,
select the desired device and select “Monitor and Output”.
1. Select “Tools” from the OBS main page Header and then select “AJA I/O
Device Output”.
Figure 12. OBS Tools Drop Down Menu
2. The AJA I/O Device Output Window allows you to select the Device, Output
Video Format, Pixel Format, and SDI Transport for the Program and Preview
outputs. In most cases, the best practice is to match your Output settings
with your Input settings when possible. Select “Start” to turn on the Output.
Starting either the Program or Preview Output will also turn on the Analog
and AES Audio outputs for the AJA Device.

4K/UltraHD Guidance
Capturing a 4K/UltraHD Source
To capture a 4K/UltraHD source using the "Auto" method, simply follow the same
steps described for capturing in the HD workflow (see "Routing OBS Output to an
I/O Device’s SDI or HDMI Output" on page 14).
Figure 14. 4K/UltraHD Capture
Configuring a 4K/UltraHD Source
To manually configure capture for the 4K/UltraHD source, after selecting the
desired Input, select your preferred Video Format, Pixel Format, SDI Transport,
and SDI 4K Transport settings from the drop-down menus.
NOTE: The option to select from the SDI 4K Transport menu will only become available
once a 4K/UltraHD Video Format has been selected.
AJA and OBS Quick Start Guide v16.2 16 www.aja.com
Figure 15. 4K/UltraHD Configuration
NOTE: When capturing a 4K/UltraHD Squares source, you will want to select the "SD/HD
Single Link" option from the SDI Transport drop-down menu.
Routing 4K/UltraHD OBS Output to Device’s SDI or HDMI
Output
NOTE: Only Low Frame Rates (30,29.97,25,25,23.98) are supported for 4K/UltraHD
Output.
4K/UltraHD can be configured a few different ways depending on your device
and desired method of outputting the signal. Since only Low Frame Rate is
supported for 4K/UltraHD, it is important to first configure the correct frame rate
and raster size in the OBS settings. Before opening and setting up the AJA I/O
Device Output.
1. First select the Video Icon, and then change the Common FPS Values to
the matching Low Frame Rate of either your Medias Source or Capture
Source. 1920x 1080 is the default setting for the Base (Canvas) Resolution
and Output (Scaled) Resolution. These can be changed to match the 4K/
UltraHD raster sizes by manually typing in the corresponding numbers
(4096x2160/3840x2160).
AJA and OBS Quick Start Guide v16.2 17 www.aja.com
Figure 16. OBS Video Settings Window
2. Hit Apply and Ok when nished.
3. Next, select Tools and then AJA I/O Device Output from the menu options.
4. With the KONA 5 (4K) Firmware, or the Io4K Plus, a 4K/UltraHD signal can be
routed out the Program or Preview Output (Engaging both simultaneously
might cause issues.) This can be done be selecting a single SDI channel, dual
SDI channels, 1-4 SDI channels, or the HDMI out. Depending on the users
choice, the following congurations need to be selected:
• 1 Wire Output - SDI 3, Video Format: Desired 4K/UltraHD Rate, Pixel Format:
YUV-8 (RGB Not supported for 4K/UltraHD), SDI Transport: 6G, SDI 4K
Transport: 2SI.
In 1-wire output set-ups, 4K/UltraHD can only be captured or output using the
KONA 5 (4K Firmware). Use the KONA 5 (8K firmware) instead if you would like
to be able to capture and output 4K/UltraHD 6G signals simultaneously. The
8K firmware supports 4 channels of 4K/UltraHD. Therefore, up to 3 separate
channels of 4K/UltraHD can be captured while simultaneously being able to
output a 1-wire 4K/UltraHD 6G LFR signal.
• 2 Wire Output - SDI 1-2 or SDI 3-4, Video Format: Desired 4K/UltraHD Rate,
Pixel Format: YUV-8 (RGB Not supported for 4K/UltraHD), SDI Transport: 3G
Level-B (3Gb), SDI 4K Transport: 2SI
• 4 Wire Output - SDI 1-4, Video Format: Desired 4K/UltraHD Rate, Pixel
Format: YUV-8 (RGB Not supported for 4K/UltraHD), SDI Transport: SD/HD
Single Link, SDI 4K Transport: Squares
• HDMI Output - HDMI Out, Video Format: Desired 4K/UltraHD Rate, Pixel
Format: YUV-8 (RGB Not supported for 4K/UltraHD)
