Decoding an HD SMPTE ST 2110 IP signal, the SMPTE ST 2110 IP to SDI Mini-Converter from AJA enables you to monitor and output SMPTE ST 2110 video (RTP) and audio (AES67) over 10 GigE network connectivity.

Featuring two 10 GigE SFP+ cages that support optional SFP+ modules of your choice, the converter allows you to connect an IP signal, which it decodes and formats for source monitoring and dual 3G-SDI output. Audio is output embedded as well as over L/R analog RCA jacks. The two SFP+ cages allow "hitless switching" so there's no loss of frame synchronization in critical applications. The converter has a compact, rugged, and fanless design suitable for use in studio and in the field.
