The AJA IPT-10G2-SDI is designed to integrate traditional 3G-SDI video sources into SMPTE ST 2110 IP Video networks. The IPT-10G2-SDI receives baseband video plus up to 16 embedded audio channels over 3G-SDI, then encapsulates the data for output as SMPTE ST 2110 over 10 GigE. Associated audio from the video stream is extracted, synchronized, and embedded into the SMPTE ST 2110 stream. Alternatively stereo audio can be fed into the stream from the dual RCA inputs. 2x 10 GigE SFP+ cages are provided, allowing "hitless switching" (ST 2022-7) redundancy protection for critical transmission environments.
IPT-10G2-SDI is rugged, quiet and fanless and like all AJA Mini-Converters it's designed for placement in a wide range of display and device scenarios, from the studio to the field. With new IP based facilities often requiring integration with traditional baseband sources, and with existing 3G/1.5G-SDI routers often at capacity while facilities undertake their transition to IP, IPT-10G2-SDI provides a solution for converting baseband camera, router or edit bay sources, and then formatting and transmitting via IP to provide that content to a range of destinations.
IPT-10G2-SDI provides two key methods for control. The Control LAN Ethernet port enables control of the Mini-Converter from web browsers on any platform and for REST clients. The mini-USB connector facilitates quick and simple initial network configuration and firmware updates are easy with AJA eMini Setup software.
