OG-DANTE-12GAM provides the bridge between SDI and Dante ecosystems. 

Watch this video for an introduction on the many benefits and advantages Dante audio over IP offers for embedding and disembedding to and from professional SDI workflows.

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.

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.

OG-DANTE-12GAM is your bridge between embedded SDI audio and Dante sources and destinations. With Dante Controller software, you can route sources and destinations wherever required across 1 GigE networks. 

Embed your DAW audio outputs into your video projects for mastering and more. Disembed your SDI program's audio content and deliver across the network to drive mixers, amplifiers and more in live venue contexts. 

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.

An increasing number of 4K products utilize an HDMI output connection, which allows a full 4K signal to be passed over a single cable. Typical professional 4K workflows use four SDI cables to carry the full resolution image, making it difficult to incorporate these newer devices. OG-HA5-4K is an easy-to-use converter that bridges the gap between these two worlds for seamless integration.

HDR or High Dynamic Range,  provides the ability to display a wider and richer range of colors, much brighter whites, and much deeper, darker blacks than standard signals allow. This gives your imagery a more ‘dynamic’ look and allows for natural true to life colors to be communicated to your audience.

OG-HA5-4K  provides support for analyzing HDR infoframe data coming in over HDMI when used with DashBoard software.Explore more of our HDR Solutions here:

Eliminate extra interface clutter and menu bars and extract only the portion of the computer screen you want.

OG-ROI-SDI is fully compatible with the free Ross DashBoard application, offering interactive selection of a Region of Interest 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.

You're able to easily create highly effective and engaging displays by using additional OG-ROI-SDI openGear converters. By utilizing three OG-ROI-SDI openGear converters in the appropriate rackframe 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 OG-ROI-SDI providing the necessary Region of Interest output via SDI. Settings for each of the OG-ROI-SDI openGear converters is provided via ethernet control through an ethernet switch. The result is a visually exciting and creative way to feed display content.

OG-ROI-SDI accepts 2-channel analog audio from the 2x 3-pin terminal blocks connectors or embedded 8-channel audio from an SDI input. The audio source and routing can be selected in the DashBoard software and is embedded into the SDI output. This allows computer audio to be embedded within the SDI signal for easy, synchronized routing.

OG-ROI-DVI utilizes a direct DVI loop through, allowing it to be placed in-line so you still have a connection to a computer monitor while extracting to SDI. The reference input ensures the SDI signal out of OG-ROI-DVI is locked for use throughout a production or facility.

OG-ROI-DVI accepts 2-channel analog audio from 2x 3-pin terminal blocks connectors. The audio source can be selected in the DashBoard software and is embedded into the SDI output. This allows computer audio to be embedded within the SDI signal for easy, synchronized routing.
