AJA openGear 4K/UltraHD 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 Converter with LC Fiber Receiver

About: AJA openGear 4K/UltraHD 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 Converter with LC Fiber Receiver

The OG-Hi5-12G converts 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0, with pristine image fidelity and HFR support up to 60p for 4K/UltraHD, in the popular openGear form factor. The OG-Hi5-12G provides an easy to deploy monitoring connection from professional 4K 12G-SDI devices to devices with HDMI 2.0 inputs. The OG-Hi5-12G can also generate HDR metadata in accordance with HDMI v2.0 and CTA-861-G.

It features a 12G-SDI single link input with a reclocked SDI loop out for SDI monitoring or pass on for SDI pipelines.

Fiber SFP-equipped OG-Hi5-12G models are available, including the OG-Hi5-12G-R receiver, which can receive 4K signals over long distances from a Fiber connected source, and the OG-Hi5-12G-TR transceiver, which delivers a 4K/UltraHD SDI or Fiber source signal to an HDMI destination with pass on of the source through SDI or Fiber to a secondary destination. The Video Source Auto Switch Over feature (SDI and Optical Inputs) in OG-Hi5-12G-R and OG-Hi5-12G-TR provides automatic input changeover with configurable Switch Over Priority selection (Last Valid Input, Priority SDI, and Priority Optical).

DashBoard Software

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

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.

The OG-Hi5-12G and family provide support for your 4K/UltraHD/HD HDR pipelines to HDMI compatible displays by generating HDR metadata in accordance with HDMI v2.0b/CTA-861-G.  The OG-Hi5-12G also provides support for Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) HDR displays over HDMI.

4K and UltraHD

Typical 4K signals use a resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels while UltraHD signals measure 3840 x 2160. This difference can prevent some monitors from being used either in full 4K workflows or in UltraHD workflows. The OG-Hi5-12G can compensate for these resolution differences, allowing UltraHD monitors to be used in 4K productions and vice versa.

OG-Hi5-12G also supports High Frame Rate (HFR) inputs. 4K/UltraHD signals at 50 or 60 fps can be fed into OG-Hi5-12G and output at up to 60p for viewing with appropriate HDMI 2.0 capable displays.

12G-SDI Support

The 12G-SDI input on OG-Hi5-12G allows extremely high quality signal representation through to the HDMI output for use with large raster and deep color workflows where image quality is critical.

Audio Integration

Up to 16-channels of embedded SDI audio are supported on input and can be passed to 8-channel of embedded HDMI audio on the output with the ability to delay the audio from 0 to 7 frames for proper synchronization with the output video.

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.
