AJA's 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 converter with HFR support up to 60p for 4K/UltraHD and Single Link 12G-SDI connection. Monitor the signal from professional 4K 12G-SDI devices on displays with HDMI 2.0 inputs. The Hi5-12G can also generate HDR metadata in accordance with HDMI v2.0 and CTA-861-G. It features a 12G-SDI single link input, with a regenerated SDI loop, for reliable SDI signal monitoring.
Thanks to its LC fibre transceiver, 4K HDMI signals can be extended over long distances using the fibre-connected SDI signal and 4K/UltraHD SDI or fiber source signal can be delivered to an HDMI destination.
Features:
- Convert 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0b at up to 4K 60p
- Support for 4:4:4/4:2:2/4:2:0 HDMI 2.0 output
- HDR support for HDR10 and HLG
- Embedded audio support
- 12G-SDI loop out
- Includes SFP transmitter with LC connector
- Configure via USB port and supplied Mini-Config software
- Uses 5-20 VDC power (DWP-U-R1 universal power supply included
Hi5-12G-TR:
12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 conversion with LC fiber transceiver. Generates HDR10 metadata according to HDMI v2.0b/CTA-861-G and supports HLG over HDMI. Easy monitoring connection from professional 4K devices using 12G-SDI outputs to new displays with HDMI 2.0 inputs. It has a 12G-SDI input with an SDI loop-through output and includes a single-channel LC fiber SFP transceiver that delivers a 4K/UltraHD SDI or fiber source signal to an HDMI destination with source pass-through over SDI or fiber. It is supplied with a single LC fiber channel SFP transceiver to extend 4K signals over long distances. Uses 5-16 VDC power (DWP-U-R1 universal power supply included). The USB port is used with the Mini-Config software application to configure the device via a PC/Mac.
HDR:
HDR allows us to display brighter whites and much deeper and darker blacks than standard signals. Hi5-12G provides this support with its 4K/UltraHD/HD HDR streams to HDMI-compatible displays by generating HDR metadata in accordance with HDMI v2.0b/CTA-861-G. Hi5-12G also supports HDR Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) HDR displays over 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 integration:
Up to 16 channels of embedded SDI audio are supported on the input and can be switched to 8 channels of embedded HDMI audio on the output with the ability to delay the audio from 0 to 7 frames for proper synchronization with the output video. The two analog audio output channels allow direct external monitoring without the need to shell out for separate audio.
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.

*Hi5-12G devices use approximately 11 watts of power and convection cooling. They will be very warm to the touch, which is normal. When installing a unit, mount in a location where the device has access to air for proper cooling. Do not stack a Hi5-12G device with other Mini-Converters.
