AJA Bridge NDI 3G- High Density HD and 4K/UltraHD
Description
AJA BRIDGE NDI 3G High Density HD and 4K/UltraHD Conversion Gateway for SDI to NDI and NDI to SDI
BRIDGE NDI 3G is a 1RU gateway offering high density conversion from 3G-SDI to NDI and NDI to 3G-SDI for both multi-channel HD and 4K/UltraHD. Designed to drop into any existing NDI or SDI workflow as a plug-and-play appliance, it's easy to deploy and administer.
BRIDGE NDI 3G brings immense conversion power and flexibility, fully controllable remotely for AV use, security and surveillance, broadcast, eSports, entertainment venues, and a wide range of other facilities needing high quality, efficient NDI encode and decode. Set and forget, or use more dynamically as project needs dictate.
Remote or Local Control
BRIDGE NDI 3G is accessible remotely using a web browser. Alternatively, BRIDGE NDI can be controlled locally using a mouse and keyboard with the appropriate VGA-capable monitor. In either case, the same intuitive UI allows easy control of all BRIDGE NDI functionality.
NDI Network Discovery
BRIDGE NDI 3G has a dedicated Source/Destination interface for viewing and managing your NDI network and its available sources. BRIDGE NDI scans the network and enumerates NDI sources. Different discovery modes can be used to reduce the burden of updating in very busy environments.
This powerful toolset allows a birds-eye view across the NDI network, including searching, naming, and even favoriting. It is also at this place in the interface where users can choose to make use of an external discovery server. When doing so, the BRIDGE NDI Source/Destination interface will continue to update, but now based on the information flowing from a dedicated discovery server, which is best practice when dealing with high volume NDI networks.
Professional Video and Audio Toolset
SDI I/O: BRIDGE NDI 3G supports YCbCr, 4:2:2 10-bit video with up to 16 embedded channels of audio, up to HD and 4K/UltraHD 60p. 4K/UltraHD SDI I/O supports either Square Division or 2SI.
NDI I/O: BRIDGE NDI 3G supports UYVY, 4:2:2, 8-bit, or P216, 4:2:2, 16-bit (support for output only), again with up to 16 embedded channels of audio, and up to HD and 4K/UltraHD 60p.
Genlock: SDI outputs can Freerun or use an External Reference for timing.
Audio: System wide audio can be set for 2, 8, or 16-channels of audio across SDI and NDI I/O.
Timecode: Use Auto mode to make life easy, or dial in specifics if you are looking for VITC1, VITC2, LTC, or Time-of-Day.
Blackout/Disable: Individual video channels/groups can be blacked out (video mute)
Mute: Individual video channels/groups can have audio muted
Test Patterns: Send out test patterns during installation or studio setup
Encode/Decode Combination
It’s also possible to utilize the BRIDGE NDI 3G to provide a combination of both decode NDI to SDI and encode SDI to NDI.
For an all HD workflow where both encode (SDI to NDI) and decode (NDI to SDI) are needed simultaneously, BRIDGE NDI 3G supports 8-channels in each direction.
Key Features:
• 3G-SDI I/O supports 16-channels of SD/HD or 4-channels of 4K/UltraHD up to 60p as standard*
