Seamless 4K HDMI to 12G-SDI Conversion with HDR Support
Bridge the gap between consumer and professional video formats with the AJA HA5-12G Mini-Converter. Engineered for the demanding environments of broadcast, production, and pro-AV, the HA5-12G flawlessly converts an HDMI 2.0 source into a robust, single-link 12G-SDI output. This streamlined solution is perfect for integrating 4K/UltraHD cameras, computers, and other HDMI devices into your professional SDI workflow, delivering pristine-quality video at frame rates up to 60p.
Experience the full impact of your content with comprehensive support for High Dynamic Range (HDR). The HA5-12G intelligently analyzes and passes through HDR infoframe data from your HDMI source, ensuring the vibrant colors, deep blacks, and brilliant whites of your imagery are preserved. This allows you to communicate your creative vision with the stunning realism and 'dynamic' look that HDR provides, from capture to display.
Beyond its core conversion capabilities, the HA5-12G is designed for maximum flexibility. It features two 12G-SDI distribution amplifier outputs, allowing you to feed multiple devices simultaneously. For audio, you have the choice to pass through up to 8 channels of embedded audio from the HDMI signal or to embed a separate 2-channel analog audio source via the dedicated RCA inputs. Advanced features like EDID emulation guarantee a stable, consistent signal by ensuring your source device continuously outputs the preferred video format.
For projects that require sending signals over long distances, the HA5-12G-T (LC) and HA5-12G-T-ST (ST) models incorporate a 12G-SDI Fiber SFP transmitter. Extend your 4K/UltraHD HDMI signals up to 10 kilometers over a single fiber optic cable, perfect for large venues, campus-wide distribution, and remote production. Built to AJA's exacting standards and backed by a five-year warranty, the HA5-12G family is the reliable, professional choice for all your HDMI to SDI conversion needs.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country.

Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
