The 3G-AM is an 8-channel AES audio embedder/disembedder with support for 3G-SDI input and output up to 1080p 60. Audio disembedding is always functional, providing 4 AES outputs. Audio embedding is user selectable, on a channel pair basis, to either pass 3G-SDI input audio or to embed input AES audio from the breakout cable.

AES inputs are sample rate converted to a 48 KHz rate synchronous to the video input. The 3G-AM automatically detects and configures to the input video standard.

Features

• 3G-SDI embedder/disembedder
• 8-channel AES I/O
• Supplied breakout cables for balanced AES - XLR connectors
• USB connectivity via AJA Mini-Config software
• Supports HDR pass-through
• Dipswitch configuration
• +5-20VDC Power

Choice of Supplied Breakout Cable
Order 3GAM with either a XLR or BNC breakout cable.

Specify 3G-AM-XLR for XLR connectivity or 3G-AM-BNC if you prefer BNC connectors for AES audio needs.

HDR Pass-Through Support
HDR or High Dynamic Range, provides the ability to display a wider and richer range of colors, much brighter whites, and much deeper, darker blacks than SDR or Standard Dynamic Range signals allow. This gives your imagery a more ‘dynamic’ look and allows for natural true to life colors to be communicated to your audience.

USB and Mini-Config Support
AJA’s free Mini-Config software can be used with any USB enabled AJA Mini-Converter and provides an easy to use graphical interface with detailed information about the current input and output formats. Control all the parameters of any supported AJA Mini-Converter as well as loading firmware updates from AJA that add new features and functionality.
