The AJA OG-DANTE Overview: 12G-SDI/Dante 64-Channel Embedder/Disembedder

Create an audio bridge between your video signal with embedded audio and a Dante audio network with the openGear 12G-SDI/Dante 64-Channel Embedder/Disembedder from AJA. This hot-swappable openGear card provides dual 12G-SDI input and output with 32 channels of embedded audio when installed in an openGear frame, and it disembeds up to 32 channels of audio onto an existing Dante network.

Each 12G-SDI input supports up to 16 channels of audio, totaling 64 channels of simultaneous audio input and output. It features redundant Gigabit Ethernet ports, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity to the Dante network. Two internal signal generators eliminate the need for an external one. Configuration and control are possible using the DashBoard software, and its disembedded audio streams are compatible with various Dante-compatible software such as Dante Controller and Dante Via.
