AJA Introduces DANTE-12GAM 12G-SDI Audio Embedder/Disembedder Mini-Converter
Offering the same core functionality as AJA’s popular openGear OG-DANTE-12GAM, DANTE-12GAM streamlines hybrid IP workflows by making it easier to bridge between SDI sources and destinations with embedded audio to/from the Dante audio ecosystem, which enables distribution of multi-channel, low latency high-resolution digital audio across a switched Ethernet network.
Featuring a next-generation enclosure design, including an LCD display with control buttons, DANTE-12GAM can disembed 16 channels of audio in and embed 16 channels of audio out, for up to 32 channels of Dante IP audio. Professionals can extend that capacity to 64 channels via DANTE-12GAM-TR-LC and DANTE-12GAM-TR-BNC, which feature optional LC fiber or BNC SFP transceiver connections respectively.
AJA DANTE-12GAM feature highlights include:
- 12G-SDI audio embedding to/from the Dante audio ecosystem.
- Support for up to 32 channels of Dante audio in a compact design via single video channel (or dual channel Video SFP Options) capabilities with independent 12G-SDI Input and Output ports, each supporting 16 audio channels for a total of up to 64 audio channels.
- One 12G-SDI BNC input and output for up to 4K/UltraHD support.
- Dante network redundancy via integrated primary and secondary etherCon GigE ports.
- The ability to transmit Dante audio channels over SDI without having an external SDI source signal with two built-in signal generators.
- Compatibility with a range of Audinate software for routing and configuration choices, including Dante Controller and Dante Domain Manager.
- Initial network configuration via free AJA eMini-Setup software.
- Remote signal status and configuration via an intuitive web UI.
- A 2.2” LCD information and configuration screen with four control buttons for back, enter, up, and down.
- Support for network synchronization standards, including PTPv2, SMPTE 2110-30, and AES67.
- PoE (+) on Primary Ethernet port.
- 10-18VDC regulated, 4-pin mini-XLR and a 12V, 60W power supply.
- AJA’s world-class five-year warranty.
AJA DANTE-12GAM can be ordered with the LC fiber or additional BNC SFP modules, as DANTE-12GAM-TR-LC and DANTE-12GAM-TR-BNC, which include all the same features as DANTE-12GAM, with double the channel capacity to support up to 64 channels of simultaneous SDI/Dante audio bridging per device.
