About AJA 12G-AM-T-ST

What sets the 12G-AM-T-ST apart is its innovative design as an 8-channel AES audio embedder/disembedder Mini-Converter, boasting support for 12G-SDI input and output up to 4K/UltraHD. This advanced piece of equipment comes equipped with a single ST Fiber link SFP Transmitter, specifically designed to extend 4K/UltraHD signals over long distances, making it an ideal choice for professional audio and video applications.

This reliable and high-quality mini-converter from Aja is always ready for action, with AES audio disembedding consistently providing four AES outputs. The audio embedding is user-selectable on a channel pair basis, offering the flexibility to either pass 12G-SDI input audio or embed input AES audio. The 12G-AM-T-ST is designed with automatic detection and configuration of the input video standard, ensuring seamless operation.

The product comes with a supplied breakout cable (12G-AM CBL DB25-8XLR) that supports 2-channels of AES per XLR connector, allowing for 8-Channels of input and 8-Channels of output simultaneously. For added convenience, an optional BNC breakout cable for AES (12G-AM CBL DB25-8BNC) is available separately.

The 12G-AM-T-ST is compatible with AJA's free Mini-Config software, which can be used with any USB-enabled AJA Mini-Converter. This software provides an intuitive graphical interface with detailed information about the current input and output formats. It allows you to control all the parameters of any supported AJA Mini-Converter and load firmware updates from AJA that add new features and functionality.

All AJA Mini-Converters, including the 12G-AM-T-ST, ship with a universal power supply that includes international plug connections for use around the world. The compact and portable design of AJA Mini-Converters makes them small enough to fit behind a monitor, in the back of a rack, or directly on a camera rig. A locking power connector ensures the power supply can't accidentally pull loose, and an optional P-TAP power cable allows for battery power in remote locations.

For easy access to information on the complete line of AJA Mini-Converters, the free AJA Mini-Matrix app for iPad and iPhone is available in the Apple iTunes Store. This app helps you find the right converter for any situation, wherever you are, with individual product links back to the main AJA website for more details. You can also email product information directly from the app.
