AJA 12G-SDI 8-Channel AES Audio Embedder / Disembedder with Fiber Options (12G-AM)

Professional 12G-SDI Audio Integration

The AJA 12G-AM is a high-performance 8-channel AES audio embedder/disembedder Mini-Converter designed for modern broadcast and pro-video workflows. It supports 12G-SDI input and output for resolutions up to 4K/UltraHD 60p. Whether you need to integrate audio into a high-bandwidth signal or extract it for external monitoring, the 12G-AM provides the reliability and flexibility required for mission-critical environments.

Versatile Audio and Fiber Options

Audio disembedding is always active, providing four AES outputs. Embedding is user-selectable on a channel pair basis, allowing you to either pass 12G-SDI input audio or embed new AES audio from the included breakout cable. For long-haul signal transport, specific fiber models are available with single-link LC or ST connectors, ensuring signal integrity over vast distances.
