AJA openGear 12G-SDI/DANTE 64-Channel Embedder/Disembedder

OG-DANTE-12GAM bridges between SDI sources and destinations with embedded audio to/from the Dante audio ecosystem.  It’s your SDI/Dante Gateway.

• OG-DANTE-12GAM provides two 12G-SDI ports for input and two ports for outputs, providing single cable support of 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD video material and up to 16-channels of embedded audio support per SDI connection. This enables 64-channels of SDI/Dante bridging simultaneously.
• Audio can be bridged, mapped and embedded from Dante sources into each SDI stream or disembedded from SDI and served to Dante destinations using Dante Controller software.
• Redundancy across the Primary and Secondary 1 GigE Ethernet connections in OG-DANTE-12GAM for Dante audio, provides security and peace of mind.
• The openGear format offers high density with up to 10 cards within each openGear frame.
  • This all adds up to 640-channels of audio bridging between SDI and Dante audio in a single rack frame, ideal for flykits, OB vans and facilities.
• The openGear OG-X-FR frame itself supports redundant power supplies, critical for live environments and constant up time.

OG-DANTE-12GAM is your bridge between embedded SDI audio and Dante sources and destinations. With Dante Controller software, you can route sources and destinations wherever required across 1 GigE networks.

Embed your DAW audio outputs into your video projects for mastering and more. Disembed your SDI program’s audio content and deliver across the network to drive mixers, amplifiers and more in live venue contexts.

Use Dante Controller to set up the audio routing between Dante devices and when necessary, to update your softwarre. Dante Controller shows the OG-DANTE-12GAM openGear card as 32 routable audio sources and 32 routable audio destinations.

Use this application to set up the audio routing between Dante devices, control the audio connections in the Dante setup, and move audio in real-time over an ethernet network.

Use Dante Domain Manager to manage the Dante network. It supports setting up authentication, security, and other similar attributes for management of various network architectures.

Use Dante Via to configure audio devices to appear on the Dante network; for example, making the stereo audio portion of AJA’s U-TAP appear as two audio source channels on the Dante network.

Dante Virtual Soundcard emulates a physical PC or Mac soundcard, but instead of connecting to actual physical audio devices like a mic, it connects to the Dante network. It can receive audio signals from the Dante network including OG-DANTE-12GAM and present them to your DAW app just like a normal physical soundcard would.

The OG-DANTE-12GAM provides two 12G-SDI inputs and two 12G-SDI outputs alongside Gigabit Primary and Secondary Ethernet ports. OG-DANTE-12GAM automatically detects and configures to the SDI input video standard. Simple user controls in Dashboard and Dante Controller allow channel enabling and mapping to and from SDI and DANTE.

DashBoard software offers quick and convenient configuration and control of openGear cards on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
