Shared Preferences
An administrator can establish house standards for the AJA Control Panel by
creating the user preferences file (described above) and placing it in a shared
location where it will establish a standard default startup state for all users of a
given computer system. These settings preempt the initial AJA default settings.
To establish the House Default for every user on every system, a system or
network administrator can move this default file to all systems on the network
(manually or by pushing it out across the network). All users on the network will
then open to the House Defaults when they launch the AJA control panel for the
first time.
NOTE: If the user makes changes to the control panel themselves, those changes will
be saved in their user preferences, which will take priority over the house default
dictated by the shared preferences file.
The Shared Preferences file should be a file created at the User Preferences
location described above, and placed by the System Administrator in the
following locations.
On Mac:
/Users/Shared/Library/Preferences/com.aja.devicesettings
On Windows:
C:\Users\All Users\Aja\com.aja.devicesettings
