Signal Flow Diagram

The signal flow diagram shows a 4K camera system connected via 12G-SDI to an AJA FIDO-T-12G Mini-Converter. The FIDO-T-12G converts the 12G-SDI signal to optical fiber which runs to the OG-FIDO-TR-12G. The OG-FIDO-TR-12G converts the fiber input back into 12G-SDI, here shown connected to a Ki Pro Ultra 12G digital VTR which is recording the 4K video.

Connectivity

Both Fiber and 12G-SDI inputs are reclocked with best in class input jitter tolerance. 12G-SDI input and output support, which includes 6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI. Both signal paths are independent and can be different rates. Supports single mode fiber cable.

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.
