GStreamer AJA source/sink plugin
GStreamer plugin for AJA capture and output cards.
This plugin requires the AJA NTV2 SDK version 16 or newer.
The location of the SDK can be configured via the aja-sdk-dir meson option.
If no location is given then the NTV2 SDK from
GitHub is compiled as a meson
subproject as part of the plugin.
Example usage
Capture 1080p30 audio/video and display it locally
