The AJA openGear 3G-SDI to 3G-SDI/HDMI Scan Converter is designed to provide high-quality scan conversion of 3G-SDI inputs to 3G-SDI and HDMI baseband video, allowing you to efficiently incorporate 3G-SDI sources into SDI and HDMI feeds. It also allows region of interest (ROI) image scaling, aspect ratio and frame rate conversion, and up, down, and cross conversion. The card is compatible with DFR-8321, OG3, and OGX openGear frames. It features a 3G-SDI input and loop output, and 3G-SDI and HDMI 1.4 outputs, all supporting up to 1080p60 resolution.

Other Features

Image H/V flip and 90° rotation.

2-channel analog audio output of disembedded audio (two 3-pin terminal block connectors).

Sync reference selection (external, openGear frame, or free run).

Remote control over Ethernet using Ross DashBoard network control software on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Hot-swappable form factor.

Region of Interest (ROI)

Eliminate extra interface clutter and menu bars and extract only the portion of the computer screen you want. The converter is fully compatible with the free Ross DashBoard application, offering interactive selection of an ROI from the incoming computer signal. You have full control over how that region is scaled to the output resolution using AJA's high-quality scaling algorithms for the cleanest picture quality possible. Take full control of aspect ratio, image rotation, and frame rate conversion with on-screen controls in the DashBoard software that shows you what your source and output will look like, including the formats that are coming in and the choices you have made for the signal going out.

openGear ROI Video Wall Workflow

It is also possible to expand output options and create a large, synchronized video wall display.

openGear ROI Window Wall Workflow

You're able to easily create highly effective and engaging displays by using additional converters. By utilizing three OG-ROI-SDI openGear converters in the appropriate rack frame, you can feed three display monitors side by side, each rotated to portrait mode. By using the SDI pass-through of the OG-ROI-SDI, the SDI routed image is in sync, with each converter providing the necessary region of interest output via SDI. Settings for each of the converters are provided via Ethernet control via your openGear frame through an Ethernet switch. The result is a visually exciting and creative way to feed display content.
