The AJA 12G-AMA is a 4-Channel analog audio embedder/disembedder with support for 12G-SDI input and output up to 4K/UltraHD. Audio is handled through a DB25 to 8 XLR breakout with 4 channels each for embedding and disembedding. Video up to 12G-SDI may be input and output using the SDI BNCs or directly to fiber by adding an optional fiber SFP (not included) to the SFP+ cage.

  • Video Latency, time measured between video input and video output connector:
    • 12G = 3.2 µsec
    • 6G = 3.2 µsec
    • 3G level B (Dual Stream HD mode) = 6.3 µsec
    • 3G level A = 3.2 µsec
    • HD (1.5 Gb) = 6.3 µsec
    • SD (270 Mb) = 17.2 µsec
