AJA Introduces Latest Developments for Live, On-Demand Content

AJA Video Systems has revealed its latest developments to help professionals keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for higher raster live and on-demand content.

Useful for applications in entertainment, education, houses of worship, sports, live events, and beyond, the new solutions help facilitate remote broadcast, streaming, production, post, and ProAV workflows, while also simplifying on-set cabling at a time when social distancing and remote work setups are crucial.

The latest developments are as follows:

• Bridge Live: A turnkey 1RU solution featuring deep metadata support, Bridge Live simplifies the transport of UltraHD or multi-channel HD video between uncompressed baseband SDI to/from a wide range of streaming and contribution codecs (H.265, H.264, MPEG-2, and JPEG 2000) in real-time. The plug-and-play gateway solution supports a flexible array of containers and protocols, including SRT, RTMP/S, RTP, UDP, and MPEG-TS, and extends to Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) ladder profiles and hand off for OTT packaging.
• OG-Dante-12GAM: A new high density, openGear-compatible solution for bridging 12G/6G/3G SDI sources with embedded audio to and from the Dante IP audio ecosystem with 64-channels of simultaneous bridging. OG-Dante-12GAM provides a high-density infrastructure solution bridging Dante to SDI and back, ideal for large venue production environments such as stadiums, theatres, concerts, stage rentals, houses of worship, and universities.
• OG-Roi-SDI: An openGear scan converter that enables high-quality conversion of 3G-SDI input, and Region of Interest selection to 3G-SDI and HDMI mirrored outputs. It features extensive audio functionality, incredible image scaling, aspect and frame rate conversion, and image rotation including frame sync functionality.
• Ki Pro Ultra 12G v2.0 Firmware: Available as a free download, Ki Pro Ultra 12G v2.0 firmware brings several new improvements to the AJA Ki Pro Ultra 12G single-channel 4K/UltraHD recorder/player or four-channel HD recorder. The latest update introduces new features that streamline high raster workflows with varied video input sources, including new input frame sync for genlock-free recording, and 8K link VPID to power 8K/UltraHD2 workflows when four Ki Pro Ultra 12G devices are used in tandem in 12G- or 6G-SDI mode.
