AJA OG-DANTE-12GAM openGear 12G-SDI/DANTE 64-Channel Embedder/Disembedder

OG-DANTE-12GAM is an openGear, Dante audio embedder/disembedder, with dual 12G-SDI input and output ports providing up to 32-channels of audio embedding and 32-channels of disembedding simultaneously. OG-DANTE-12GAM provides the bridge between SDI and Dante infrastructures. Dante audio networking provides digital audio distribution over local and wide-area networks with low latency, using standard network hardware or by connecting into a standard network infrastructure. This offers many advantages over analog, AES, and MADI infrastructures, including audio system scalability, easier installation, and simplified wiring. A fully populated OG-X-FR openGear frame with ten OG-DANTE-12GAM cards, provides an incredible 640-channels of audio bridging in a rack-mountable form factor for a wide range of needs.

Key Features

Video Path Delay
Video Out is a delayed, reclocked version of Video In, at the same format and frame rate. Video Out is undefined when no input.
Video Latency, time measured between video input and video output connector:
12G = 3.2 sec
6G = 3.2 sec
3G level B-DL = 6.3 sec
3G level A = 3.2 sec
HD (1.5 Gb) = 6.3 sec
SD (270 Mb) = 17.2 sec
