AJA Hi5-4K-Plus SDI to HDMI 2.0 Converter
The AJA Hi5-4K Plus converts 3G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 with resolutions up to 4K60. It offers HDR and HLG support, four 3G-SDI inputs, one HDMI 2.0 output, embedded high-resolution audio, application configuration via USB, and a durable, compact form factor.
The HDMI output offers up to 4K60 for professional 4:4:4 workflows, and supports HDR 10 and HLG color depth. The integrated audio output supports up to 8 channels of audio over HDMI and maintains synchronization at all times. The Hi5-4K-Plus can be configured and monitored via the AJA Mini-Matrix app from the iOS smartphone, or can be configured with the Mini-Config software from the macOS or Windows computer via the USB port. A universal power supply is included, or you can power it via a separately available D-Tap cable using a high-capacity battery source.
AJA's 4K/UltraHD SDI to HDMI 2.0 Hi5-4K-Plus converter retains image fidelity with up to 60p HFR support and generates HDR metadata in accordance with HDMI v2.0a / CTA-861.3.
The Hi5-4K-Plus provides monitoring for 4K devices that have Quad 3G-SDI, Quad 1.5G-SDI or Dual 3G-SDI outputs on displays with HDMI 2.0 inputs.
Up to 8 audio channels of the incoming SDI signal are embedded in the HDMI output, ensuring audio synchronization.
The Hi5-4K-Plus compensates for these resolution differences, allowing UltraHD monitors to be used in 4K productions and vice versa. Hi5-4K-Plus supports High-Speed Frame (HFR) inputs. 4K / UHD signals at 50 or 60 fps can be delivered to Hi5-4K-Plus and output up to 60p for viewing on HDMI 2.0 compatible displays.
A single HD-SDI signal reaching the Hi5-4K will be sent as an HDMI signal of HD resolution.
AJA Mini-Converters have an optional P-TAP power cord that allows battery power in field applications.
Features:
- 4x 3G-SDI inputs
- Support for 4:2:2/4:4:4 HDMI 2.0 output
- HD conversion supported
- Embedded audio support
- Configure via USB port and supplied MiniConfig software
- Uses 5-20VDC power (DWP-U-R1 universal power supply included)
Connectivity:
The Hi5-4K-Plus converter allows a 4K signal to be sent through a single HDMI 2.0 cable.
HDR:
HDR allows you to display brighter whites and deeper, darker blacks than standard signals. It has a more dynamic look and feel and causes an audience perception of natural, true-to-life color.
Hi5-4K-Plus provides this support with its 4K/UltraHD/HD HDR streams to HDMI-compatible displays by generating HDR metadata in accordance with HDMI v2.0a/CTA-861.3. Hi5-4K-Plus also supports HDR Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) displays via HDMI.
4K and UltraHD:
4K signals use a resolution of 4096x2160 pixels while UltraHD signals have a resolution of 3840x2160. This may prevent some monitors from being used in full 4K workflows or UltraHD workflows. Hi5-4K-Plus can compensate for these resolution differences, allowing UltraHD monitors to be used in 4K productions and vice versa.
Hi5-4K-Plus also supports high frame rate (HFR) inputs. 4K/UltraHD signals at 50 or 60 fps can be input to Hi5-4K-Plus and output up to 60p for viewing with suitable HDMI 2.0-capable displays.
Audio:
Can transmit up to 8 channels of embedded audio in the SDI signal to the HDMI output, this allows the audio to always be in sync and playable on the connected monitor.
HD Support:
When we are not working in 4K, the Hi5-4K-PLUS converter serves us to convert the HD-SDI signal to HDMI. A single HD-SDI signal entering the Hi5-4K-Plus will be sent as an HD resolution HDMI signal, just like AJA's Hi5-3G Mini-Converter.
USB and Mini-Config support:
Mini-Config is free software from AJA that can be used with any USB-enabled AJA Mini-Converter. This software has a very intuitive graphical interface with extended information on current input and output formats.
