AJA: 3G-SDI 4-ch. Analog Audio Embed/Disembed, bal. XLR, USB MiniConfig support.
The 3G-AMA is a 4-channel analog audio Embedder/Disembedder with support for 3G-SDI input and output up to 1080p-60. Audio disembedding is always functional, providing 4 analog outputs. Audio embedding is user selectable, on a channel-pair basis, to either pass 3G-SDI input audio or to embed input analog audio from the breakout cable. Analog audio levels are selectable. The 3G-AMA automatically detects and configures to the input video standard.
USB and MiniConfig Support
AJA’s free MiniConfig software can be used with any USB-enabled AJA Mini-Converter and provides an easy-to-use graphical interface with detailed information about the current input and output formats. Control all the parameters of any supported AJA Mini-Converter as well as loading firmware updates from AJA that add new features and functionality.
