AJA 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 Conversion with ST Fiber receiver (HI5-12G-R-ST)

Professional 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 Conversion

The AJA Hi5-12G-R-ST is a premium solution for converting 12G-SDI signals to HDMI 2.0, ensuring pristine image fidelity for 4K and UltraHD workflows. Designed for professional broadcast and post-production, it supports High Frame Rates (HFR) up to 60p. This specific model includes an integrated ST Fiber receiver, enabling the reception of 4K signals over long distances from fiber-connected sources, making it ideal for large venues and complex studio infrastructures.

Advanced HDR and Color Precision

Maintain the visual integrity of your High Dynamic Range content. The Hi5-12G-R-ST generates HDR metadata in accordance with HDMI v2.0b and CTA-861-G standards. It also provides comprehensive support for Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) displays over HDMI, allowing for natural, true-to-life color representation in 4K/UltraHD/HD HDR pipelines.

Resolution Management and 12G-SDI Performance

The converter compensates for resolution differences between 4K (4096 x 2160) and UltraHD (3840 x 2160), ensuring compatibility across various monitor types. The 12G-SDI single-link input is complemented by a reclocked SDI loop out, which simplifies confidence monitoring and allows for easy signal pass-through to secondary SDI devices.

Integrated Audio and Easy Configuration

The Hi5-12G-R-ST supports up to 16 channels of embedded SDI audio on input, passing 8 channels to the HDMI output. Users can synchronize video and audio perfectly with a delay range of 0 to 7 frames. Configuration is made simple via the AJA Mini-Config software, providing a graphical interface for monitoring status and updating firmware via USB.
