The AJA openGear 3G-SDI to 3G-SDI/HDMI Scan Converter is designed to provide high-quality scan conversion of 3G-SDI inputs to 3G-SDI and HDMI baseband video, allowing you to efficiently incorporate 3G-SDI sources into SDI and HDMI feeds. It also allows region of interest (ROI) image scaling, aspect ratio and frame rate conversion, and up, down, and cross conversion. The card is compatible with DFR-8321, OG3, and OGX openGear frames. It features a 3G-SDI input and loop output, and 3G-SDI and HDMI 1.4 outputs, all supporting up to 1080p60 resolution.

Image H/V flip and 90° rotation.

2-channel analog audio output of disembedded audio (two 3-pin terminal block connectors).

Sync reference selection (external, openGear frame, or free run).

Remote control over Ethernet using Ross DashBoard network control software on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Hot-swappable form factor.

Eliminate extra interface clutter and menu bars and extract only the portion of the computer screen you want. The converter is fully compatible with the free Ross DashBoard application, offering interactive selection of an ROI from the incoming computer signal. You have full control over how that region is scaled to the output resolution using AJA's high-quality scaling algorithms for the cleanest picture quality possible. Take full control of aspect ratio, image rotation, and frame rate conversion with on-screen controls in the DashBoard software that shows you what your source and output will look like, including the formats that are coming in and the choices you have made for the signal going out.

It is also possible to expand output options and create a large, synchronized video wall display.

You're able to easily create highly effective and engaging displays by using additional converters. By utilizing three OG-ROI-SDI openGear converters in the appropriate rack frame, you can feed three display monitors side by side, each rotated to portrait mode. By using the SDI pass-through of the OG-ROI-SDI, the SDI routed image is in sync, with each converter providing the necessary region of interest output via SDI. Settings for each of the converters are provided via Ethernet control via your openGear frame through an Ethernet switch. The result is a visually exciting and creative way to feed display content.

The openGear standard ensures that AJA cards will be compatible with other openGear products from certified openGear partners.

Q: 1. Does this work for GoPro 3?

A: yes only the black edition

Q: 2. I have 2 questions.Can this device AJA HA5-4K 4K HDMI to 4K SDI Mini-Converter - be powered on from the V-Mount battery with a P-Tap cable - that do P-Tap to Barrel power and what is the size of barrel 2,1 mm or 2,5mm?And the Second question is can I use this device with a Sony a7SII that do output thru Micro HDMI to HDMI cable (I am using that cable Atomos AtomFLEX HDMI (Type-A) Male to Micro-HDMI (Type-D) Male Coiled Cable B&H # ATOM4K60C2 ) that goes into HDMI input of this device and than from this device I need to use 2 6G-SDI cables that goes into Odyssey 7Q+ recorder that now supports 6G-SDI inputs (that was saying on the B&H site SDI inputs now support 6G-SDI in addition to 3G-SDI.) so I use two 6G-SDI cables that are coming out from the device to Odyssey recorder is that correct? So I can have 4K input and recording up to 60fps 4K?Am I right or I can't make it happen?

A: There is a P-Tap cable for this product, it is B&H # COXPAJA5. However the Sony A7SII only outputs UHD 4K at 30fps. This product will not change that, nor are we aware of any product that will allow you to get 60fps out of the A7SII.

Q: 3. will this convert timecode from a bnc cable to hdmi for a mixpre-6?

A: No. This converter supports SDI video/audio with embedded timecode but will not convert.

Q: 4. Can this be used between a Sony A7R2 (4K HDMI) and the older model Convergent Design 7Q (dual 3G-SDI)?

A: Yes, this can be used. Make sure it can accept Quadlink 4K.

Q: 5. Can I use this device to convert a 4K 60, 10-bit 4:4:4 video signal coming from my Decklink Pro 8K over four 3G-SDI Cables to an HDMI 2.0 (without loss of quality)?

A: Yes, that should be possible with this unit.

Q: 6. Will this allow sending HDMI out from Digital Bolex into Zacuto Gratical Eye SDI?

A: The Blackmagic Design Micro Converter HDMI to SDI 3G (B&H# BLCVCMICHS03) will convert an HDMI 1080p60 signal to SDI for use with your choice of a compatible SDI device, among them the Zacuto Gratical Eye Micro OLED EVF (B&H #AXZAZGRE): https://bhpho.to/3zxgjLz

Q: 7. I have RG6 coax cable run in my house. I would like to distribute HDMI video to all connected devices. My coax Cable has F Type connectors. If I use this device, together with BNC to F type adapter, will it work ?

A: The Blackmagic Design Micro Converter HDMI to SDI 3G (with Power Supply) (B&H# BLCMCHS3WPSU) should be used with 3G (or higher) rated cables for the intended lengths at which it will be used. It's unlikely that the RG6 cable will work at longer distances. We'd recommend something like the Kopul Premium Series 3G-SDI Cable BNC to BNC (50 ft) (B&H# KOVBBC450) or Kopul Premium Series 3G-SDI Cable BNC to BNC (100 ft) (B&H# KOVBBC4100): https://bhpho.to/3etW76v or https://bhpho.to/3RiMBS6

Q: 8. I need to do a multicamera 4k UHD production with 4x Sony FS7. 4k output on FS7 is only via HDMI. I will be using Black Magic 4k Production Studio which has only SDI inputs. I assume I will need 4 of the Aja cards in the Open Gear Frame. Do the cards have HDMI inputs and SDI outputs? How can I achieve the foregoing using this set up?

A: Yes, this card has four 3G-SDI outputs and two HDMI 2.0 inputs. You would place these cards in the AJA openGear Rackmount Frame.

Q: 9. Can this be used to convert a signal from a 4CIF security camera to something a Atomos recorder will support?

A: It may work if the camera is outputting a SDI/HDMI signal, but security cameras do not typically output these signals.

Q: 10. So I still have a question about quad link 3G-SDI.So if I need to receive the UHD signal (3840 x 2160) from HDMI output of my camera Sony a7SII to SDI I need to use four 3G-SDI cables (quad link 3G-SDI) but how I can input all four 3G-SDI cables into Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q+ (it's saying in specs that this recorder supports Single Link, Dual Link, Quad Link) if it has only 2 SDI inputs, can anyone explain me how quad link 3G-SDI is working?And what exact SDI cables I need to buy? Thank you?

A: The HA5-4K has a single HDMI 1.4 input, it does not have any SDI Inputs. Also, the 7Q+ can record 4K directly from HDMI. You would not need a converter to use the A7SII with the 7Q+.
