This openGear compatible card is designed to down-convert professional 3G-SDI 4K/UltraHD signals to HD resolution, leveraging AJA's superior scaling technology for cost-effective monitoring and conversion. The OG-4K2HD supports both 4K (4096x2160) and UltraHD (3840x2160) formats, providing a versatile solution for supporting 4K on HD-SDI and HDMI devices. It offers simultaneous HD-SDI and HDMI output, delivering stunning HD images for on-set monitoring or direct-to-air broadcast. Controlled by the DashBoard network control software, this down-converter offers aspect ratio conversion from full 4K to HD. It supports high frame rate (HFR) 4K/UltraHD inputs at 50 and 60fps, converting them to HD outputs at the same frame rates for accurate viewing. The OG-4K2HD's configuration options allow for the extraction of an HD resolution image from the 4K input, providing a one-to-one pixel image for 4K focus checks on HD displays. This feature is particularly useful for video professionals who need to ensure the sharpness and clarity of their 4K footage. Designed for use in high-density openGear's 2RU frames, including AJA's OG-3-FR 2RU frame, the OG-4K2HD is compatible with the new DashBoard Software support on Windows, macOS, and Linux. This software offers remote control and monitoring of the openGear architecture, providing convenient and industry-standard configuration, monitoring, and control options over a PC or local network. The OG-4K2HD uses real-time processing and AJA's high-quality scaling algorithms to down-convert professional 4K or UltraHD signals to HD resolution. Its HD-SDI and HDMI outputs are live all the time, allowing for the use of both professional SDI monitors and low-cost HDMI monitors simultaneously. The OG-4K2HD also supports high frame rate (HFR) 4K inputs and converts the HD output to a matching frame rate for accurate viewing. This ensures that what you shoot is what you see, making it a reliable tool for 4K productions. This down-converter can be configured to extract an HD resolution center cut from the 4K input, providing a one-to-one pixel image for 4K focus checks without the need for a full 4K monitor. The OG-4K2HD also features a modular rear panel for custom I/O connections per card, an optional redundant power supply for a secondary power source, and a standard Ethernet connection for overall frame communication. Optional per-card Ethernet access can be installed in the frame for advanced communication with compatible openGear cards. In summary, the OG-4K2HD openGear 4K/UltraHD-SDI to 3G-SDI Down-Converter with DashBoard Support is a comprehensive solution for video professionals seeking high-quality, cost-effective 4K to HD conversion.
