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
