OG-FiDO-R-12G-ST and OG-FiDO-2R-12G are now available for $945 and $1395, respectively.
AJA Video Systems has announced the expansion of its lineup of openGear compatible 12G-SDI fibre converters with a pair of new OG-FiDO 12G cards for receiving signals from LC Fiber or ST Fiber and converting those signals to baseband 12G-SDI.
The OG-FiDO-R-12G-ST is a fibre receiver that supports single-channel conversion from ST Fibre to 12G-SDI.
The OG-FiDO-2R-12G offers dual-channel conversion from LC Fibre to 12G-SDI. Both new models receive 12G-SDI signals from standard Fibre video sources, including AJA FiDO Mini-Converters.
Nick Rashby, President, AJA Video Systems, said: “Fibre solutions are critical for facilities looking to reduce cable runs while also having the ability to securely send high-bandwidth signals very long distances, and we’ve witnessed a surge in demand from customers looking to upgrade to 12G-SDI infrastructures. In response, we’ve released two new robust and powerful OG-FiDO 12G openGear receiver cards – joining the OG-FiDO-TR-12G Fibre transceiver – that offer reliable conversion within a compact, high-density, rack-mountable form factor.”
AJA’s OG-FiDO 12G cards offer flexibility and cost efficiency for fibre to 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI conversion, supporting extended cable runs (up to 10km) over standard single-mode fibre optic cable. The OG-FiDO-R-12G-ST receiver is a single-channel converter for Single Mode ST Fibre to 12G-SDI conversion.
In addition to the new OG-FiDO 12G cards, AJA has also released a collection of new firmware updates for select AJA openGear card models, including OG-ROI-HDMI, OG-ROI-DVI, OG-ROI-SDI, OG-HA5-4K and OG-12GM.
OG-ROI-HDMI v1.3.2, OG-ROI-DVI v1.3.2 and OG-HA5-4K v1.5.3 introduce Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) emulation, enabling the user to specify the desired video format to the connected HDMI source. OG-HA5-4K v1.5.3 and OG-12GM v1.1.2 adds simple frame rate conversion capabilities from p60 to p59.94 and p59.94 to p60. For the latest audio workflows, OG-HA5-4K v1.5.3 adds support for embedded audio pass-through of Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus compressed audio, including Dolby Digital Plus JOC (joint object coding) for immersive audio.
OG-FiDO-R-12G-ST and OG-FiDO-2R-12G are now available for $945 and $1395 US MSRP, respectively.
