AJA HA5-12G
AJA’s HA5-12G allows users to convert an HDMI 2.0 input to two 12G-SDI single link outputs. It includes two SDI DA outputs and transmits 12G-SDI on each SDI link, reducing cable runs when transporting 4K/UltraHD SDI.
HA5-12G supports up to 8-Channels of audio from the HDMI source or 2-Channel analog audio (RCA), with eight or two channels of digital embedded audio on 12G-SDI.
Fibre SFP equipped HA5-12G models are available (please see separate listings), including the HA5-12G-T single channel transmitter, which extends HDMI source 4K signals over long distances (10 km Single Mode). The HA5-12G-2T dual channel transmitter offers two 12G-SDI coaxial outputs and two 12G-SDI over Fibre outputs to simultaneously enable HDMI 4K source extension to multiple locations without a distribution amplifier.

HDR
HDR, or High Dynamic Range, provides the ability to display a wider and richer range of colours, much brighter whites, and much deeper, darker blacks than standard signals allow. This gives your imagery a more ‘dynamic’ look and allows for natural true to life colours to be communicated to your audience. HA5-12G provides this support for your 4K/UltraHD/HD HDR pipelines to HDMI compatible displays by generating HDR metadata in accordance with HDMI v2.0b/CTA-861-G. HA5-12G also provides support for Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) HDR displays over HDMI.HDR
4K and UltraHD
Typical 4K signals use a resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels while UltraHD signals measure 3840 x 2160. This difference can prevent some monitors from being used either in full 4K workflows or in UltraHD workflows. HA5-12G can compensate for these resolution differences, allowing UltraHD monitors to be used in 4K productions and vice versa. HA5-12G also supports High Frame Rate (HFR) inputs. 4K/UltraHD signals at 50 or 60 fps can be fed into HA5-12G and output at up to 60p for viewing with appropriate HDMI 2.0 capable displays.
12G-SDI Support
The 12G-SDI input on HA5-12G allows extremely high quality signal representation through to the HDMI output for use with large raster and deep colour workflows where image quality is critical.
Audio Integration
Up to 16-Channels of embedded SDI audio are supported on input and can be passed to 8-Channel of embedded HDMI audio on the output with the ability to delay the audio from 0 to 7 frames for proper synchronisation with the output video. Two channels of analogue audio output allow direct external monitoring without the need to dis-embed the audio separately.
PsF to Progressive conversion
HDMI monitors do not have native support for PsF signals. However, many professional productions still work with PsF formats. HA5-12G converts incoming 1080PsF signals to 1080p. This progressive signal is compatible with HDMI monitors.
Universal Power Supply
All AJA Mini-Converters ship with a universal power supply that includes international plug connections for use around the world.
Compact and Portable
AJA Mini-Converters are small enough to fit behind a monitor, in the back of a rack or directly on a camera rig. A locking power connector can’t accidentally pull loose and an optional P-TAP power cable allows for battery power in remote locations.
AJA Quality – Guaranteed
All AJA Mini-Converters are covered by a five year warranty and AJA’s advanced replacement policy. If a replacement is necessary, AJA will ship a new unit immediately without the need to send the original unit back first, ensuring you are up and running again as quickly as possible.
