AJA openGear Dual 1x4 12G-SDI Distribution Amplifier

AJA's openGear Dual 1x4 12G-SDI Distribution Amplifier puts two independent DA channels on a single openGear card, automatically equalizing each incoming 12G-SDI signal and reclocking it to four outputs per channel. The dual-input design doubles distribution capacity in limited frame space, making it a practical fit for high-density 2RU openGear installations in broadcast and production facilities.

SDI rates of 270Mb, 1.5Gb, 3Gb, 6Gb, and 12Gb are supported across a format-agnostic 150 Mbps to 12 Gbps range, with best in class input jitter tolerance on the reclocked outputs. Cable equalization on Belden 1694A reaches 45 m at 12 Gbps and 365 m at 270 Mbps. A 10x BNC rear connector module is included, DashBoard software handles control on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and each card draws 4.5 watts maximum.
