AJA Introduces New Mini-Converter

AJA Video Systems has introduced a new Mini-Converter, the HA5-Fiber, for HDMI to 3G-SDI conversion.

Unveiled at InfoComm 2016, the Mini-Converter is able to fit on the back of a camera or neatly behind an equipment rack, extending HDMI signals up to 10km. HA5-Fiber enables conversion of HDMI to 3G-SDI over single mode optical fiber, with up to 8-channel embedded audio supported in the HDMI input. The Mini-Converter features a 2-channel RCA style audio input, an SDI embedded audio output and an optical output. It comes with a five-year warranty.

Nick Rashby, president, AJA, said: "As the challenges that ProAV, film and broadcast professionals face continue to evolve, we're working rapidly to expand our line of Mini-Converters to support the widest number of video formats. HA5-Fiber is great for any scenario where an HDMI signal needs to be extended long distances. Whether from a camera or extending signal paths from HDMI sources in racks, this new Mini makes it very easy to integrate HDMI signals into fiber infrastructure."

HA5-Fiber (MSRP $695.00USD) will be available in July 2016 through AJA's worldwide reseller network, and will ship with a power supply and USB 2 cable.
