Pristine 4K/UltraHD 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 Conversion
Bridge the gap between professional broadcast equipment and modern consumer displays with the AJA Hi5-12G Mini-Converter. This powerful and compact device seamlessly converts a 12G-SDI source to a vibrant HDMI 2.0 output, delivering pristine image fidelity for 4K and UltraHD signals up to 60p. The single-cable simplicity makes it an indispensable tool for cost-effective monitoring in any professional video workflow, from on-set production to post-production suites and live event staging.
The Hi5-12G is engineered for today’s demanding high-resolution workflows. It provides full support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) content, generating HDR10 metadata in accordance with HDMI 2.0b/CTA-861-G and supporting HLG formats. This ensures that you see a wider, richer range of colors, with brilliant whites and deep, detailed blacks on any compatible HDR display. The converter also intelligently handles the nuance between 4K (4096x2160) and UltraHD (3840x2160) resolutions, allowing you to use monitors interchangeably without issue. High Frame Rate (HFR) support ensures your 50/60p footage is displayed with fluid motion and clarity.
Beyond stunning visuals, the Hi5-12G offers robust audio integration. It passes up to 8 channels of embedded HDMI audio from a 16-channel SDI input, and supports passthrough of compressed audio formats like Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus, including Atmos. For direct audio monitoring, two channels of analog audio output are provided, eliminating the need for external de-embedders. Each unit includes a reclocked 12G-SDI loop-out for confidence monitoring or continuing the SDI signal chain. For workflows requiring long-distance signal transmission, Fiber SFP-equipped models are available, including receiver (-R) and transceiver (-TR) options that offer automatic source switchover for unparalleled reliability.

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.
