AJA 3G-AM-BNC

3G-SDI 4-Channel Analog Audio Embedder/Disembedder

The 3G-AMA is a 4-channel analog audio embedder/disembedder that supports 3G-SDI input and output at resolutions up to 1080p-60. Audio disembedding is always active, providing 4 analog outputs. Audio embedding can be configured by the user—on a channel-pair basis—to either pass through the existing 3G-SDI audio or embed analog audio from the breakout cable. Analog audio levels are user-selectable. The 3G-AMA automatically detects and configures itself to the input video standard.

Universal Power Supply
All AJA Mini-Converters come with a universal power supply that includes international plug adapters for use anywhere in the world.

Compact and Portable
Thanks to their small size, AJA Mini-Converters can be tucked behind a monitor, mounted on the back of a rack, or attached directly to a camera rig.
