AJA OG-HA5-4K openGear 4K HDMI to SDI Converter

Professional-Grade HDMI 2.0 to 4X 3G-SDI Conversion for openGear Systems

Designed for high-density broadcast environments, the AJA OG-HA5-4K solves the everyday challenge of integrating single-cable HDMI 2.0 sources—such as mirrorless cameras, media servers, and computer graphics cards—into multi-cable professional 3G-SDI routing systems. Engineered as an openGear modular card, it slides effortlessly into standard 2RU frames to deliver robust, low-latency video conversion.

Core Technical Advantages

• High-Bandwidth 4K/UltraHD Support: Converts HDMI 2.0 inputs at up to 60fps (supporting 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0 color spaces) into reliable quad-link or single-link 3G-SDI.
• Flexible SDI Mapping: Supports both Two Sample Interleave (2SI) and Square Division (Quadrant) pixel mapping formats for maximum compatibility with professional displays and switchers.
• Advanced HDR Management: Features built-in HDR Infoframe decoding and analysis capabilities via DashBoard software, preserving critical metadata (VPID pass-through or override).
• Comprehensive Audio Integration: Handles up to 8 channels of 24-bit embedded HDMI audio, passing it seamlessly through to the SDI outputs—including support for compressed audio formats like Dolby Atmos.
• Remote Control via DashBoard: Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, the openGear DashBoard platform allows for centralized, remote network configuration, status monitoring, and system management.

Multi-Format Versatility

Beyond heavy-duty 4K workflows, the OG-HA5-4K is backward-compatible. When working on lower-resolution projects, it automatically senses incoming 2K, HD, or SD signals over HDMI and maps them smoothly to single 3G/HD/SD-SDI outputs. Backed by AJA’s 5-year international warranty, it is an essential, failsafe building block for mobile production trucks, broadcast control rooms, and AV installations.
