Chapter 1 – Introduction
Overview
AJA 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters are designed for point of use applications for
encoding, transport, reception and decoding of IP based video sources. Rugged,
compact and fanless, the 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters provide the bridge between
Baseband and IP video for a range of applications, such as sending and receiving
video over IP from remote facilities in post production, source monitoring, digital
signage, and video walls. 10 GigE IP Mini-Converters ease the cost of extensive
monitoring distribution in a facility.
The 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter Transmitters take baseband HDMI or SDI input
and encode the data as SMPTE 2110. The embedded audio associated with the
video stream is also encoded to SMPTE 2110. Alternatively, analog audio can be
encoded and sent with the video stream instead.
The 10 GigE IP Mini-Converter Receivers decode SMPTE 2110 and format the data
for either HDMI or SDI output. The audio associated with the video stream is
extracted, synchronized, and then embedded into the HDMI or SDI signal as well
as output on a stereo analog RCA audio output.
All UltraHD rates (23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50) can be received only by the IPR-10G2-
HDMI and IPR-10G-HDMI.
Both the IPR-10G2-HDMI and the IPR-10G-HDMI can provide RGB (rather than
YCbCr) to a compatible monitor if the monitor or other sink device indicates this
availability via EDID.
