Aja Video Systems 12G-AM-TR 8-Channel 12G-SDI AES audio Embedder/Disembedder with Single LC Fiber Transceiver, 8 XLR connectors

AJA 12G-AM-TR 12G-SDI 8-Channel AES Embedder/Disembedder with LC Fiber Transceiver

The AJA 12G-AM-TR is an 8-channel AES audio embedder/disembedder Mini-Converter with 12G-SDI input and output up to 4K/UltraHD. This model ships with a single-channel LC fiber SFP transceiver, which adds both a fiber input and a fiber output, so 4K/UltraHD signals can be extended over long distances.

AES disembedding is always active on four AES outputs, while embedding is selectable per channel pair, either passing the audio already in the 12G-SDI signal or inserting the AES audio from the breakout cable. The unit detects the input video standard automatically, passes HDR signals and is configured with DIP switches or via USB with AJA Mini-Config software.
