AJA Hi5 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 Converter

3G-SDI to HDMI Mini-Converter
Hi5-Plus is AJA’s next generation SDI-to-HDMI Mini-Converter for integrating HDMI monitors into professional SDI workflows

Deep Color HDMI
When used with a compatible HDMI monitor, SDI-to-HDMI Mini-Converter outputs a 30-bit Deep Color RGB signal that allows for incredible color representation.

3G-SDI Support
The 3G-SDI input on Hi5-Plus allows extremely high-quality signal representation through to the HDMI output for use with RGB workflows where image quality is critical.

Audio Integration
Up to 16-channels of embedded SDI audio are supported on input and can be passed to 8-channel of embedded HDMI audio on the output with the ability to delay the audio from 0 to 7 frames for proper synchronization with the output video. Two channels of analog audio output allow direct external monitoring without the need to disembed the audio separately.

PsF to Progressive conversion
HDMI monitors do not natively support PsF signals. However, many professional productions still work with PsF formats. Hi5-Plus converts incoming 1080PsF signals to 1080p. This progressive signal is compatible with HDMI monitors.

Universal Power Supply
All AJA Mini-Converters ship with a universal power supply that includes international plug connections for use around the world.

Compact and Portable
AJA Mini-Converters are small enough to fit behind a monitor, in the back of a rack, or directly on a camera rig. A locking power connector can't accidentally pull loose and an optional P-TAP power cable allows for battery power in remote locations.
