AJA OG-3G-AMA: 3G-SDI Analog Audio Embedder/Disembedder

Overview

An openGear 8-Channel analog audio embedder/disembedder, OG-3G-AMA supports 3G-SDI input and output up to 1080p 60, and automatically detects and configures to the input video standard. It uses 3-pin terminal block connectors that can be set to perform audio input or output functionality.

Analog audio levels and audio embedding/disembedding are selectable, with embedding/disembedding on a channel pair basis to pass 3G-SDI input audio or embed input analog audio from 3-pin terminal block connectors.

Designed for use in high density openGear 2RU frames including AJA’s OG-X-FR frame, new DashBoard Software support on Windows®, macOS® and Linux® offers remote control and monitoring of the openGear architecture and provides convenient and industry-standard configuration, monitoring and control options over a PC or local network.

Video Output Formats

Video Out is a delayed, reclocked version of Video In, at same frame rate, etc. Video Out is undefined when no input.

Video Latency, time measured between video input and video output connector:
- 3G level A = 3.2 usec
- 3G level B = 6.1 usec
- HD (1.5 Gb) = 6.3 usec
- SD (270 Mb) = 17.2 usec
