RovoRx UltraHD HDBaseT Receiver v1.0r1 12 www.aja.com
Chapter 3 – RovoRx-SDI and Mini-Config
RovoRx-SDI Overview
RovoRX-SDI converts uncompressed HDMI Video/Audio signals up to UltraHD
for reception via HDBaseT over CAT type twisted pair cable. It includes a frame
sync function, designed specifically to lock the RovoCam signal to a facility
reference for use in a production facility. RovoRX-SDI is designed to pair with
the AJA RovoCam camera, to provide video, audio, RS-232 control and power
transmission using a single CAT cable. Video and audio can be received by this
device over distances up to 328 feet/ 100 meters on Cat 6a cable, to drive displays
or ingest into an SDI production environment. RovoRX-SDI can also be used with
any compatible HDBaseT transmitter, including AJA’s HB-T-HDMI and HB-T-SDI
Mini-Converters. See
"Appendix A Specifications" on page 27
for a complete list of
supported formats, frame rates, and CAT cable requirements.
NOTE: The RovoRx-SDI packs an unprecedented feature set into a Mini-Converter box.
As a result, the unit uses approximately 14.5 watts of power. It will be very warm
to the touch, which is normal. The unit is engineered to operate across the full
temperature range, from 0 to 40 degrees C.
