Description
AJA BRIDGE NDI 3G High Density 4K/UltraHD/HD NDI/SDI Conversion Gateway
AJA Bridge NDI 3G is a 1RU conversion gateway that moves video between SDI and NDI at high density, handling 16 channels of SD/HD or four channels of 4K/UltraHD up to 60p. Designed to drop into existing NDI or SDI plants as a plug-and-play appliance, it serves broadcast, AV, eSports, security and surveillance, and entertainment venues that need efficient, remotely controllable NDI encode and decode.
Conversion is bidirectional, with selectable 8-bit and 16-bit 4:2:2 NDI encode profiles, support for NDI 6, 5, and 4, NDI HX input, and video plus key handling. Sixteen channels of audio, timecode across VITC1, VITC2, LTC, and Time-of-Day, and buffer controls for low latency tuning round out the toolset. Administration runs through a remote WebUI or local GUI, with dual 10GigE interfaces, redundant power supplies, and a three year warranty.
