Windows 10 + AJA Kona 5

THIS PAGE IS WIP, WORK IN PROGRESS

This applies to Windows 10 and above and MXWendler version 5.0 and above (or other multi-display apps) with AJA Kona 5 (and maybe others) capture cards installed.

Problem

The capture card is not visible in Settings->Live Devices

Solution

You have to manually install the DirectShow drivers

1. Download the driver
2. Unpack driver in location where driver must and will stay
3. Register driver as admin via command terminal:
   1. Click on 'Start'
   2. Type 'cmd'
   3. Right-click CMD-app 'Start as Administrator'
   4. Navigate to the drive and folder where the xxx.dll driver is
   5. type regsvr32 (name_of_dll.dll)

Background

The AJA Kona driver comes with a broken DirectShow installer. You have to register the device manually as admin so it can be found by other software.
