AJA openGear Dual 1x4 12G-SDI Distribution Amplifier

The AJA OG-12GDA-2x4 is a high-performance, openGear-compatible 12G-SDI distribution amplifier designed for high-density 2RU frames like the OG-X-FR. It features dual 12G-SDI inputs with automatic cable equalization, each feeding four reclocked 12G-SDI outputs for a total of eight outputs.

This dual input capability effectively doubles the distribution capacity per card, making it ideal for space-constrained broadcast environments. The included 10x BNC rear connector module simplifies installation and integration. Full remote control and monitoring are supported through the Ross DashBoard software, compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, enabling streamlined management over local networks or PCs.
