Seamlessly Integrate Analog Audio into Your 4K/UltraHD Fiber Workflow
Elevate your professional video production with the AJA 12G-AMA, a powerful 4-channel analog audio embedder and disembedder designed for high-bandwidth 12G-SDI workflows. This compact Mini-Converter is the essential bridge between your analog audio gear and your 4K/UltraHD video signals, providing pristine audio quality and transmission reliability over long distances using single-mode optical fiber.
The 12G-AMA offers incredible flexibility for broadcast, post-production, and live event environments. It continuously disembeds four channels of audio from the incoming 12G-SDI signal, making them available as balanced analog outputs via the included XLR breakout cable. This is perfect for routing audio to a mixing console, monitoring system, or external recording device. For embedding, you have complete control. On a channel-pair basis, you can choose to either pass through the original embedded audio or embed a new analog audio source, such as a final mix or localized language track, back into the 12G-SDI stream.
Built for demanding professional use, the 12G-AMA automatically detects and configures itself to the incoming video standard, simplifying setup. Its robust design and compact form factor allow for easy placement on a desk, in a rack, or in tight spaces on set. This series of converters comes in several models to suit your specific I/O needs, with options for LC or ST fiber connectors configured as transceivers, transmitters, or receivers, ensuring a perfect fit for your infrastructure. Backed by a five-year warranty, the 12G-AMA is a reliable, long-term investment in your production chain.
