AJA CONVERTERS www.aja.com AJA Video Systems released four new mini converters at NAB 2008. The products are designed both for the broadcast and postproduction markets and provide support for a wide array of the latest video and audio formats. The new HD10CEA converter provides a simple and cost-effective way for video professionals working with HD-SDI to interface with analog video and audio formats. HA5 converts HDMI signals to HD-SDI, allowing low-cost HD cameras to be interfaced with professional equipment. Up to eight channels of HDMI audio are embedded into the SDI/HD-SDI output allowing a convenient single cable audio/video connection. The $490 HA5 provides two SDI/HD-SDI outputs and supports long HDMI cables on the input. AJA’s new 3GM and 3GDA converters underscore the company’s commitment to adopting emerging broadcast formats with ADVERTISEMENT support for 3Gb (“3G”) SDI. The 3GM is a versatile and economical tool for interconnecting dual-link 1.5G SMPTE372M and 3G SMPTE425M. 3GM is bi-directional, allowing dual-link 1.5G to 3G or 3G to dual-link 1.5G conversion. Additionally, 3GM’s 3G HD-SDI output is configurable for SMPTE425M type A or B. The 3GM can even convert 3G from/to type A or B. 3GM also provides an “always-on” monitor output that is a single-link 1.5G HD-SDI. The $990 3GM is also compatible with SMPTE259M 270Mb SDI. The $690 3GDA is a miniature, low-cost 1x6 3G HD-SDI/HDSDI/SDI re-clocking distribution amplifier. Featuring six separately buffered outputs, the 3GDA provides automatic input detection, reclocking and cable equalization. The $990 HD10CEA converts SDI/HD-SDI video with embedded audio to analog video and 4-channel balanced analog audio. SD inputs are converted to YPbPr (Betacam or SMPTE/EBU-N10), or RGB, or composite/YC (S-Video). HD inputs are converted to YPbPr or RGB. The four audio channels can be selected from group 1-4. Audio and video output connections are available on a supplied breakout cable. All video/audio configuration is done by convenient dipswitch selection.
