AJA 12G-SDI 8-Channel AES Embedder / Disembedder with LC Fiber TR SFP (12G-AM-TR)

Professional 12G-SDI Audio Integration

The AJA 12G-AM-TR is a high-performance 8-channel AES audio embedder/disembedder Mini-Converter designed for demanding 4K/UltraHD workflows. Supporting 12G-SDI input and output, this model includes an LC fiber transceiver SFP to extend signals over long distances without signal degradation. The 12G-AM-TR automatically detects and configures the input video standard for seamless operation in professional broadcast and post-production environments.

Advanced Audio Management

Audio disembedding is always functional, providing four AES outputs. Audio embedding is user-selectable on a channel pair basis, allowing you to either pass 12G-SDI input audio or embed input AES audio from the included breakout cable. This flexibility makes it an essential tool for managing complex audio signals in high-resolution video paths.
