AJA openGear 16-Channel AES/EBU Audio Embedder/Disembedder

About: AJA openGear 16-Channel AES/EBU Audio Embedder/Disembedder

The OG-12G-AM is an 16-channel AES/EBU audio embedder/disembedder openGear card with support for 12G-SDI input and output up to 4K/UltraHD. 

AES/EBU Audio embedding and disembedding is user selectable, on a channel pair basis, to either disembed 12G-SDI input audio or to embed input AES/EBU audio. It uses BNC connectors that can be set to perform audio input or output functionality.

The OG-12G-AM automatically detects and configures the input video standard.

Designed for use in high density openGear 2RU frames, including AJA’s OG-X-FR frame. Ross DashBoard Software supports Windows, macOS, and Linux and provides convenient, configuration, monitoring, and control options for openGear cards and frames via a connected computer or over local network with DashBoard's web UI.

DashBoard Software

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

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.

Flexible I/O

The modular rear panel allows custom I/O connections per card (included with individual cards).

Failsafe

The optional redundant power supply provides a secondary power source in the event of a primary power failure.

Ethernet Access

A standard Ethernet connection allows the frame to be accessed via the Ross Dashboard application for overall frame communication. Optional per-card Ethernet access can be installed in the frame for advanced communication with compatible openGear cards.
