Downloading and Installing the SDK

Developers no longer need to be registered with AJA Video Systems in order to download and use the NTV2 SDK. Starting with SDK 16.0, it is open-source under the MIT license, and is publicly available at the AJA GitHub repository.

Please refer to the README.md document in the repository for further instructions.
