AJA OG-3GDA-2X4 openGear 2x4 3G-SDI Reclocking DA

The OG-3GDA-2x4 from AJA is an openGear compatible, state of the art 3G-SDI distribution amplifier. Combining the capabilities of AJA’s production-proven Mini-Converters with openGear’s high-density architecture and support for DashBoard, this enables industry-standard configuration, monitoring and control in broadcast environments over a PC or local network on Windows®, macOS® or Linux.

The incoming 3G-SDI signals on the input channels are automatically equalized and the outputs are automatically reclocked to four 3G-SDI outputs each or alternatively can function as a 1x 8-channel DA, allowing the same signal to be sent to eight destinations simultaneously. This dual input capability allows double the number of DAs in limited frame space. A 10x BNC rear connector module is also included.

Designed for use in high density openGear 2RU frames including AJA’s OG-X-FR frame, the OG-3GDA-2X4 also includes a re-clocking SDI distribution amplifier.
