Real Time HDR/WCG Conversion with the Colorfront
Engine™ Video Processing
AJA OG-DANTE-12GAM is an
openGear, Dante audio embedder/disembedder, with
dual 12G-SDI input and output ports providing up to
32-channels of audio embedding and 32-channels of
disembedding simultaneously. OG-DANTE-12GAM provides
the bridge between SDI and Dante infrastructures.
Dante audio networking provides digital audio
distribution over local and wide-area networks with
low latency, using standard network hardware or by
connecting into a standard network infrastructure.
This offers many advantages over analog, AES, and
MADI infrastructures, including audio system
scalability, easier installation, and simplified
wiring.
A fully populated OG-X-FR openGear
frame with ten OG-DANTE-12GAM cards provides an
incredible 640-channels of audio bridging in a
rack-mountable form factor for a wide range of
needs.
Dante: The Audio Networking Standard
for the Pro AV Industry
Dante audio networking
provides digital audio distribution over local and
wide area networking with low latency (<1 ms), using
standard network hardware or by connecting into a
standard network infrastructure. This offers many
advantages, including audio system scalability,
easier installation, and simplified wiring.
Dante also allows uncompressed, multi-channel, low
latency high-resolution digital audio to be
distributed across a switched Ethernet network using
standard TCP/IP protocols while meeting the
stringent quality requirements of professional
audio.
Dante audio is the primary choice for
ProAV system integrators and a growing number of
broadcasters and is widely adopted by 450
manufacturers offering 2500+ Dante device types.
• Current solutions require many devices, or a
very high price to accomplish this bridging. DANTE
reduces the amount of gear required to perform this
bridging function.
• DANTE audio provides a
redundant infrastructure with two networks, a
primary and secondary 1 GigE ports, which provide
users with a robust system of audio transport.
•
DANTE audio solutions also provides a
synchronization solution that is not met by other
solutions for audio over IP.
Bridge Between SDI/Dante
Sources and Destinations
AJA OG-DANTE-12GAM bridges
between SDI sources and destinations with embedded
audio to/from the Dante audio ecosystem. It’s your
SDI/Dante Gateway.
OG-DANTE-12GAM provides
two 12G-SDI ports for input and two ports for
outputs, providing single cable support of
4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD video material and up to
16-channels of embedded audio support per SDI
connection. This enables 64-channels of SDI/Dante
bridging simultaneously.
Audio can be
bridged, mapped and embedded from Dante sources into
each SDI stream or disembedded from SDI and served
to Dante destinations using Dante Controller
software.
Redundancy across the Primary and
Secondary 1 GigE Ethernet connections in
OG-DANTE-12GAM for Dante audio, provides security
and peace of mind.
The openGear format offers
high density with up to 10 cards within each
openGear frame.
This all adds up to
640-channels of audio bridging between SDI and Dante
audio in a single rack frame, ideal for flykits, OB
vans and facilities.
The openGear OG-X-FR frame
itself supports redundant power supplies, critical
for live environments and constant up time.
Dante Controller
Use Dante Controller to set
up the audio routing between Dante devices and when
necessary, to update your software. Dante Controller
shows the AJA OG-DANTE-12GAM openGear card as 32
routable audio sources and 32 routable audio
destinations.
Use this application to set up
the audio routing between Dante devices, control the
audio connections in the Dante setup, and move audio
in real-time over an ethernet network.
Dante Domain
Manager
Use Dante Domain Manager to
manage the Dante network. It supports setting up
authentication, security, and other similar
attributes for management of various network
architectures.
Dante Via
Use Dante Via to configure
audio devices to appear on the Dante network; for
example, making the stereo audio portion of AJA’s
U-TAP appear as two audio source channels on the
Dante network.
Dante Virtual
Soundcard
Dante Virtual Soundcard
emulates a physical PC or Mac soundcard, but instead
of connecting to actual physical audio devices like
a mic, it connects to the Dante network. It can
receive audio signals from the Dante network
including OG-DANTE-12GAM and present them to your
DAW app just like a normal physical soundcard would.
Connectivity
The OG-DANTE-12GAM provides
two 12G-SDI inputs and two 12G-SDI outputs alongside
Gigabit Primary and Secondary Ethernet ports.
OG-DANTE-12GAM automatically detects and configures
to the SDI input video standard. Simple user
controls in Dashboard and Dante Controller allow
channel enabling and mapping to and from SDI and
DANTE.
openGear Compatibility
The openGear standard
ensures that AJA cards will be compatible with other
openGear products from certified openGear partners.
With a growing list of products, openGear is the
future of rackframe products.
Flexible I/O
The modular rear panel
allows custom I/O connections per card (included
with individual cards).
Failsafe
The optional redundant
power supply provides a secondary power source in
the event of a primary power failure.
Ethernet Access
A standard Ethernet
connection allows the frame to be accessed via the
Dashboard application for overall frame
communication. Optional per-card Ethernet access can
be installed in the frame for advanced communication
with compatible openGear cards.
DashBoard Software
DashBoard software offers
quick and convenient configuration and control of
openGear cards on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
AJA Mini-Matrix
Information on the complete
line of AJA Rackframes and cards are now available
in the Mini-Matrix mobile app on iOS. AJA products
are extensive and this app helps you find the right
converter for any situation, wherever you are.
DashBoard software offers quick and convenient
configuration and control of openGear cards on
macOS, Windows, and Linux.
