OG-3G-AMD

Overview

The OG-3G-AMD is a state of the art, openGear compatible, 8-channel AES audio embedder/disembedder with support for 3G-SDI input and output up to 1080p 60. Simple user controls allow channel enabling and mapping. A 10x BNC rear openGear connector module is included.

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.

Connectivity

The OG-3G-AMD provides a 3G-SDI input and 3G-SDI output with four AES BNC connectors in each direction. OG-3G-AMD automatically detects and configures to the input video standard. AES inputs are sample rate converted (SRC) to 48kHz synchronous to the video input. Audio disembedding is always functional providing four AES outputs. Audio embedding is user selectable, on a channel pair basis, to either embed input AES audio or pass 3G-SDI input audio. Simple user controls using DashBoard software allows channel enabling and mapping.

openGear Compatibility

The openGear standard ensures that AJA cards will be compatible with other openGear products from certified openGear partners. With a growing list of products, openGear is the future of rackframe products.

Flexible I/O

The modular rear panel allows custom I/O connections per card (included with individual cards).

Failsafe

The optional redundant power supply provides a secondary power source in the event of a primary power failure.

Ethernet Access

A standard Ethernet connection allows the frame to be accessed via the Dashboard application for overall frame communication. Optional per-card Ethernet access can be installed in the frame for advanced communication with compatible openGear cards.
