High-Quality Video Conversion
The AJA Hi5-12G converts 12G-SDI input into HDMI 2.0 output while maintaining pristine image fidelity. It supports 4K/UltraHD resolutions up to 60p, ensuring smooth playback and accurate colors. The device is ideal for professional monitoring and post-production workflows.
HDR Support
Hi5-12G can generate HDR metadata according to HDMI v2.0b and CTA-861-G standards. It also supports Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) for modern HDR displays, providing richer colors, brighter whites, and deeper blacks for realistic imagery.
Flexible Connectivity
The device includes a reclocked 12G-SDI loop output, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into SDI pipelines. Fiber SFP-equipped variants (Hi5-12G-R and Hi5-12G-TR) allow long-distance video transport, making it suitable for distributed production environments.
Audio Integration
Hi5-12G supports up to 16 channels of embedded SDI audio and outputs 8-channel HDMI audio. Analog audio outputs provide direct monitoring, while embedded Dolby Digital (AC-3), Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC-3), and Atmos (JOC) formats are fully supported.
User-Friendly Configuration
The device is configurable via USB using AJA’s free Mini-Config software. Users can control input/output formats, load firmware updates, and monitor device status from Windows or Mac systems.
Compact and Reliable Design
Small enough to fit behind monitors, in racks, or on camera rigs, the Hi5-12G uses a universal 5–16V DC power supply and features convection cooling. Its robust design and five-year warranty make it a dependable solution for professional workflows.
