This chapter contains a list of supported video devices to do a playout in SD, HD or UHD. When using a Thunderbolt device from AJA, Blackmagic Design or Sonnet, please make sure that the speed of the Thunderbolt bus is at least 20 Gbit/s (i.e. Thunderbolt 2). This is especially important when playing out in UHD.

- AJA version 14.3 and higher is currently not compatible with our Playout Engine and therefore we recommend to use AJA Driver version 14.2.1 until this issue is solved. Videodevices depending on a higher driver version can not be used.
- BMD version 11.3 and higher is currently not compatible with our Playout Engine and therefore we recommend to use BMD Desktop Video driver version 11.2 until this issue is solved. Videodevices depending on a higher driver version can not be used.
- When using Just Live/play with Blackmagic devices it is not possible to use the DSK-based (Live Key) method to switch from Live Video to Video Playout. Instead the non DSK-based method can be used. In addition, the playout or pass-through of closed captions does not work with Blackmagic devices. Refer to the chapters DSK-based Switch to Live Configuration and Non DSK-based Switch to Live Configuration.
Listed here are all UHD/4K devices we have tested with UHD playout up to 30 fps. However it is possible that other devices which also support UHD/4K will work as well
