AJA Video Systems today unveiled OG-FiDO-4, a new family of openGear-compatible cards offering four channels of conversion between 12G-/3G-SDI and fiber. With nine different models, the
OG-FiDO-4 family enables reliable, uncompressed SDI transport over LC fiber and includes DashBoard software support for centralized monitoring. The technology will be demonstrated September 11-14 during IBC in Amsterdam at the RAI, stand 7.B25.
“At a time when multicamera setups are growing in size and complexity across broadcast, live production, and proAV environments, extending SDI infrastructure over fiber has never mattered more. The OG-FiDO-4 family delivers practical, cost-efficient solutions with the channel density, signal integrity, and dependability that mission-critical environments demand,” said AJA President Nick Rashby.
Key OG-FiDO-4 feature highlights include:
- Nine models are available to choose from, including the base card and AJA Fiber SFP variations such as 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, single-mode, and multi-mode models
- Independent, isolated SDI-BNC connectors enable different rates to be carried simultaneously
- An integrated rear I/O card unlocks high-density transport, up to 40 channels in an openGear frame
- DashBoard software support streamlines installation, configuration, monitoring, and service updates on Windows and macOS
- Support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) video and pass-through of SDI metadata
- Input Present and Input SMPTE Lock LEDs
