Aja Video Systems BNDI-3G16-R0 High Density HD and 4K/UltraHD Conversion Gateway for SDI to NDI and NDI to SDI

AJA BRIDGE NDI 3G BNDI-3G16-R0 SDI/NDI Conversion Gateway

AJA BRIDGE NDI 3G is a 1RU plug-and-play gateway for high-density conversion from 3G-SDI to NDI and from NDI to 3G-SDI, for multi-channel HD and 4K/UltraHD. As standard it handles 16 channels of SD/HD or 4 channels of 4K/UltraHD up to 60p, in encode, decode or a combination of both, and is fully controllable remotely, for AV, security and surveillance, broadcast, eSports and entertainment venues.

HD channels can be grouped into video+key pairs, combining two SDI signals into one NDI stream with alpha and vice versa, or into 4K/UltraHD groups using Square Division or 2SI, up to the full DCI 4K raster. It supports NDI 6, NDI 5 and NDI 4, redundant discovery servers, 8-bit and 16-bit 4:2:2 NDI profiles, up to 16 channels of audio and VITC1, VITC2, LTC and time-of-day timecode. The 16 bidirectional 3G-SDI connections are DIN 1.0/2.3, with DIN to BNC adapters included, alongside dual 10GigE ports and dual redundant power supplies.
