AJA Device Update: Big Sur
Quick Start Guide
Introduction
Apple's macOS releases have increased their internal security requirements and
settings. These changes affect the procedures used for updating AJA device
software on Mac computers. A significant recent security difference is more
stringent identification is required for application developers.
For Big Sur specifically, you will need to confirm AJA's new developer information
by unlocking and relocking your System Preferences settings at the proper time.
macOS Installations
macOS High Sierra (10.13), macOS Mojave (10.14), macOS Catalina (10.15) and
macOS Big Sur (11.x) all have security requirements that may present dialogs
during installation. See the Release Notes for you AJA device, available on the
AJA website and also installed with the software package, for minimum and
recommended system requirements including OS, CPU, RAM, and GPU, and for
any macOS specific installation procedure changes.
