Aja 12GM - Compact converter
Introducing the Aja 12GM
The Aja 12GM is a compact SDI transport converter that enables signal conversions from 12G-SDI to Quad 3G-SDI and from Quad 3G-SDI to 12G-SDI. The Multiplexer/Demultiplexer supports 4K, UltraHD, 2K, HD and SD workflows, and conversions from multi-link SDI to single-link SDI signals, and vice versa, at 12G, 6G, 3G and 1.5G bitrates.
AJA 12G converter highlights
- 12G from/to 3G conversions in a compact package
- SMPTE 2082 inputs and outputs configurable as SMPTE 425 inputs and outputs
- SMPTE 425M A to SMPTE 425M B conversions
- Equalization and total reclocking with jitter reduction
- If input is SMPTE 292M, all outputs are 1.5G SMPTE 292M
- Universal DWP-U-R1 power supply included
- 5-year manufacturer's warranty
