## Questions & Answers

**Q: What version firmware is this device running?**
A: Currently the firmware for the AJA U-Tap SDI is v1.2

**Q: Video keeps cutting off when doing live streaming, is there anything that can be done to fix this issue?**
A: Don’t think it’s the AJA. Depends on the power behind the PC. ALSO, lately Live streaming sites like YT, and FB haven’t been able to handle the LIVE demand and have been jumping, Glitching and cutting out. I like the U-TAP and use it with OBS software.

**Q: Is there an aja u-tap sdi that supports 4k? this one works good for me connected to a blackmagic atem tv studio but it only works up to 1080 i need 4k**
A: No, not in the u-tap line.  AJA has devices in 4K as well as 8k, I’m not personally familiar with them.

**Q: so to be clear this will support 1080p 60hz?**
A: Yes, 1080p59.94 and 1080p60 input sources are supported. From AJA site -
