The IP25-R is housed in a durable aluminum enclosure, ideal for both portable “throw-down” use and high-density rackmount installations. Up to three units can be mounted side-by-side in a single 1RU shelf—perfect for space-constrained environments. With our 3RU DRM2-Plus rackmount frame, redundant power can be provided for up to six IP25-Rs!

For fast setup, the front-facing USB-C port supports AJA’s free eMini-Setup application for initial network configuration. Multicast setup, internal routing, and output specific functions are accessed via the WebUI. Designed with active front-to-back cooling, the IP25-R ensures reliable, long-term performance in demanding broadcast and production locations.

In this IP-based stadium workflow, live camera feeds and the video switcher connect to redundant SMPTE ST 2110 network switches, which deliver synchronized IP video, audio, and metadata directly into the IP25-R's dual SFP inputs for seamless ST 2110 reception and conversion.

• 2x HDMI 2.0 outputs feed directly to 2x HDMI monitors, up to 4K 4096x2160p.

• SDI 1 output feeds in the AJA ColorBox (or OG-ColorBox) for color verification. The ColorBox then distributes the signal via SDI and HDMI to monitors.

• SDI 2, 3, and 4 outputs directly to SDI monitors.

The IP25-R enables seamless conversion of uncompressed SMPTE ST 2110 UHDp60 (3840x2160) video to your existing on-site SDI infrastructure. In this setup, the converted ST 2110 signals are routed through an AJA KUMO router, allowing flexible signal distribution throughout your facility. For added assurance, the IP25-R features dual HDMI outputs, ideal for real time signal confidence monitoring in machine rooms or engineering environments.

• RX 1 routes internally to SDI 1 and HDMI 1. SDI 1 feeds into the router for wider signal distribution, and HDMI 1 is used for confidence monitoring.

• RX 2 routes internally to SDI 2 and HDMI 2. SDI 2 feeds into the router for wider signal distribution, and HDMI 2 is used for confidence monitoring.

Easily display SMPTE ST 2110 UHDp60 Multiviewers through the two HDMI 2.0 outputs while routing them through your existing SDI infrastructure using the IP25-R and KUMO router. This workflow enables real time multi-viewer monitoring in your control rooms and easy SDI distribution, providing a seamless bridge from IP-based video to traditional baseband environments.

• RX1 routes internally to HDMI 1, which then outputs to an HDMI monitor. It also routes to SDI, which feeds into the KUMO router and SDI infrastructure.

• RX2 routes internally to HDMI 2, which then outputs to an HDMI monitor. It also routes to SDI, which feeds into the KUMO router and SDI infrastructure.

Seamlessly integrate SMPTE ST 2110 HD 1080p60 IP video into your existing SDI infrastructure, with HDMI outputs for real time confidence monitoring.

• RX 1-4 routes internally to SDI out 1-4 and into SDI infrastructure.

• HDMI out 1 and 2 can be fed by existing RX signals for confidence monitoring.

The IP25-R features two SFP28 cages that are compatible with both 10 GigE and 25 GigE SFP modules, enabling high-bandwidth SMPTE ST 2110 IP video workflows. The unit supports ST 2022-7 hitless switching, ensuring seamless network redundancy for mission-critical IP workflows. (Note: SFPs are not included) 

High Dynamic Range (HDR) dramatically improves image quality by delivering richer colors, brighter highlights, and deeper blacks compared to standard dynamic range (SDR) signals. This results in more vibrant, true-to-life visuals, ensuring your audience experiences content as it was intended.

The IP25-R supports advanced HDR metadata handling, including SDI VPID and HDMI Infoframe signaling, making it ideal for modern HDR workflows. It simplifies the complexities of HDR integration by allowing HDR pass-through with override, using SDP file translation to accurately map HDR metadata to both SDI and HDMI outputs.

This functionality ensures your IP-to-baseband conversion meets today’s HDR delivery requirements, whether for live production, broadcast, or postproduction environments.
