Flexible 12G-SDI & Fiber Audio Integration for 4K/UltraHD Workflows
The AJA 12G-AM is a professional-grade Mini-Converter designed to seamlessly integrate 8-channel AES audio into modern 12G-SDI and fiber optic workflows. Engineered for broadcast, production, and post-production environments, this compact yet powerful device allows you to embed or disembed audio from video signals up to 4K/UltraHD 60p. With options for both LC and ST single-mode fiber I/O, the 12G-AM provides the flexibility needed to transmit high-bandwidth signals over long distances with pristine quality.
Gain complete control over your audio path. The 12G-AM’s AES audio disembedding is always active across four AES outputs, making it simple to send your SDI audio to a mixer, DAW, or other processing gear. When it comes to embedding, you have granular, user-selectable control on a channel-pair basis. Choose to either pass through the existing 12G-SDI input audio or embed a new audio source from the included XLR breakout cable. This is perfect for workflows where you need to mix external audio sources and re-embed them into the primary video stream for recording or broadcast. For example, you can take a 4K feed, send its audio to an external mixer, and then embed the final mixed audio back into the 12G-SDI output to be recorded on a device like the AJA Ki Pro Ultra 12G.
Built for reliability and ease of use, the 12G-AM automatically detects the input video standard, simplifying setup. Its small form factor and robust metal casing make it ideal for use in racks, on desktops, or in mobile production kits. Configuration is straightforward via the external DIP switches or AJA’s Mini-Config software over USB. Backed by AJA's world-class support and a five-year warranty, the 12G-AM is a dependable solution for managing high-resolution audio and video.
