IP25-R is a 4K SMPTE 2110 to 12G-SDI/HDMI Mini-Converter that bridges IP and baseband infrastructures. It allows professionals to de-encapsulate ST 2110 video, audio, and ancillary data for frame-accurate output to HDMI and SDI monitors, routers, and myriad other baseband equipment. Featuring dual 10/25GbE network ports, two HDMI 2.0 outputs, and four 12G-SDI outputs, IP25-R enables the output of low latency IP video up to 4K DCI (4096x2160p60) with advanced HDR metadata handling.
The Mini-Converter’s SMPTE ST 2110 25GbE core is engineered to meet the needs of modern IP infrastructures while providing higher channel density. Dual SFP28 cages provide ST 2022-7 protection switching for uninterrupted signal delivery across redundant IP networks in critical applications such as network operations centers (NOCs), OB trucks, remote production setups, live event monitoring, stadium and in-venue AV systems, and broadcast control rooms.
Support for advanced HDR metadata handling - including SDI VPID and HDMI Infoframe signaling - streamlines HDR workflows, allowing for HDR passthrough with override using SDP file translation so professionals can accurately map HDR metadata to SDI and HDMI outputs.
An intuitive browser-based UI with in-band control over the media network or out-of-band control via an RJ45 1GbE port makes it easy to set up IP parameters, manage PTP synchronization, and configure external controls.
For flexible signal routing, users can assign any one of IP25-R's four ST 2110 RX inputs to specific SDI or HDMI outputs. HDR metadata and colorimetry settings can also be adjusted, and output routing replicated internally for intuitive IP-to-baseband monitoring and signal management. A front-facing USB-C port streamlines initial network setup via free AJA eMini-Setup software.
In addition to all these features, IP25-R boasts a sleek and durable aluminum enclosure with active front-to-back cooling that allows for smooth integration into any environment or high-density rackmount install. Three IP25-R units can fit in just 1RU (rack unit), and with AJA’s new DRM2-Plus chassis, up to 6 IP25-Rs can be installed offering the option for redundant power.
