AJA openGear 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD HDMI 2.0 to 3G-SDI Conversion

About: AJA openGear 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD HDMI 2.0 to 3G-SDI Conversion

Featuring four 3G-SDI outputs, the openGear compatible OG-HA5-4K enables high quality conversion of HDMI 2.0 video from DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, action cameras, or prosumer 4K video cameras to 4K/UltraHD 3G-SDI for use in professional workflows. OG-HA5-4K is also capable of displaying HDR infoframe data coming in over HDMI when used with DashBoard software.

Designed for use in high density openGear 2RU frames including AJA’s OG-X-FR frame, DashBoard Software support on Windows®, macOS® and Linux® offers remote control and monitoring of the openGear architecture and provides convenient and industry-standard configuration, monitoring and control options over a PC or local network.

Connectivity

An increasing number of 4K products utilize an HDMI output connection, which allows a full 4K signal to be passed over a single cable. Typical professional 4K workflows use four SDI cables to carry the full resolution image, making it difficult to incorporate these newer devices. OG-HA5-4K is an easy-to-use converter that bridges the gap between these two worlds for seamless integration.

HDR

HDR or High Dynamic Range,  provides the ability to display a wider and richer range of colors, much brighter whites, and much deeper, darker blacks than standard signals allow. This gives your imagery a more ‘dynamic’ look and allows for natural true to life colors to be communicated to your audience.

OG-HA5-4K  provides support for analyzing HDR infoframe data coming in over HDMI when used with DashBoard software.

4K and UltraHD

OG-HA5-4K supports conversion of full resolution 4K (4096x2160) as well as UltraHD (3840x2160) from HDMI to 3G-SDI at frame rates up to 50/60 fps, providing a great solution for cinematic 4K productions as well as UltraHD projects.

HD Support

Not every job is a 4K job. When you're not working in 4K, OG-HA5-4K can still be a useful tool for converting HD-HDMI to HD-SDI. OG-HA5-4K will automatically sense an incoming HD resolution HDMI signal and convert this to a single 3G-SDI output, much like AJA's HA5-Plus Mini-Converter.

Audio

Up to 2-channels of embedded audio in the incoming HDMI signal are carried through seamlessly into the SDI output, ensuring your audio is always in sync and carried flawlessly along with the SDI signal for use anywhere in your workflow.

openGear Compatibility

The openGear standard ensures that AJA cards will be compatible with other openGear products from certified openGear partners. With a growing list of products, openGear is the future of rackframe products.

DashBoard Software

DashBoard software offers quick and convenient configuration and control of openGear cards on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
