AJA OG-12GM openGear 12G-SDI to/from SDI Muxer/DeMuxer
AJA OG-12GM openGear 12G-SDI to/from SDI Muxer/DeMuxer
OG-12GM is a compact SDI transport openGear card that enables 12G-SDI to quad link 3G-SDI and quad link 3G-SDI to 12G-SDI conversion. The muxer/demuxer supports 4K, UltraHD, 2K, HD and SD workflows and conversions from quad link SDI signals to single link SDI signals, and vice versa at 12G, 6G, 3G and 1.5G bit rates, as well as Dual Link and Dual Stream conversions. Both Square Division (Quadrant) and Two Sample Interleave (2SI) input and output mappings are supported.
AJA openGear products are designed for use in high-density openGear 2RU frames including AJA’s OG-X-FR frame, with industry-standard DashBoard software support on Windows®, macOS® and Linux®, offering remote control and monitoring over a PC or local network.

OG-12GM Workflow Diagram
This workflow diagram shows a 4K camera system outputting video via a 4x 3G-SDI quad-link connection. This output is connected to the 4x 3G-SDI inputs of the OG-12GM, which converts it in turn into single-link 12G-SDI, shown here with a Ki Pro Ultra 12G recording the video at the end of the signal chain.
OG-12GM Workflow Diagram
This workflow diagram shows a 4K camera system outputting video via a 1x 12G-SDI connection. This output is connected to the 12G-SDI input of the OG-12GM, which then converts it into quad-link 3G-SDI, here shown with an AJA KUMO 3232 3G-SDI router providing further distribution.
OG-12GM Integration Diagram
This integration workflow diagram shows a 4K camera system outputting video via a 4x 3G-SDI quad-link connection. The OG-12GM provides a conversion from quad-link 3G-SDI into single-link 12G-SDI, allowing the 4K 3G-SDI camera source to fit seamlessly into a 4K 12G-SDI eco system. Multiple OG-12GM cards can be housed in the appropriate openGear rack frame, making multi-cam conversions easy.
openGear Compatibility
The openGear standard ensures that AJA cards will be compatible with other openGear products from certified openGear partners. With a growing list of products, openGear is the future of rack frame products.
Flexible I/O
The modular rear panel allows custom I/O connections per card (included with individual cards).
Failsafe
The optional redundant power supply provides a secondary power source in the event of a primary power failure.
Ethernet Access
A standard Ethernet connection allows the frame to be accessed via the Ross Dashboard application for overall frame communication. Optional per-card Ethernet access can be installed in the frame for advanced communication with compatible openGear cards.
Dashboard Software
Dashboard software offers quick and convenient configuration and control of openGear cards on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
AJA Mini-Matrix
Information on the complete line of AJA openGear frames and cards is now available in the Mini-Matrix. AJA products are extensive and this resource helps you find the right converter for any situation, wherever you are.
Individual products have links back to the main AJA website for more details.
Industry Leading Support
AJA’s technical support is recognized as among the best in the industry and is available to all AJA customers. If you need assistance with any aspect of your openGear installation, configuration, or operation or encounter any technical issues, AJA Support will work with you to get up and running.
openGear products are covered by a generous five-year warranty. Please see the individual Product Manual for additional specifics about warranty conditions for the product itself.
