AJA to unveil hybrid IP workflow and infrastructure to solve pain points
AJA Video Systems is heading to NAB 2026 to unveil a host of products and updates that simplify and accelerate SMPTE ST 2110 transitions and can also optimise signal flow across broadcast, production, post, and proAV environments.
BRIDGE LIVE IP enables bi-directional SMPTE ST 2110 conversion to and from popular streaming IP video and audio codecs and transport protocols. Packaging flexible encoding, decoding, and transcoding functionality into a 1RU, the device transmits and receives up to four channels of Ultra HD (UHD) p60 or up to eight channels of 1080p60 HD.
The AJA Bridge can enable productions to move diverse IP media types into and out of 10/25GigE ST 2110 infrastructures.
New v2.0 firmware for IP25-R expands the SMPTE ST 2110 to 12G-SDI/HDMI Mini-Converter’s feature set, with a new Tx (transmit) mode enabling 12G-SDI to ST 2110 or HDMI conversion. The latest update also increases supported video and audio channel counts in Rx (receive) mode from four to six streams. An integrated test signal generator for ST 2110 network setup simplifies operation and troubleshooting.
At booth N1927, visitors can also check out the OG-GEN10, an HD/SD/AES-11 sync generator offering simultaneous HD tri-level and SD sync output. Featuring nine HD/SD reference outputs and one AES-11 reference output, the openGear-compatible solution solves common timing challenges, allowing production and post teams to lock more equipment to a master clock.
Building on AJA’s popular GEN10 Mini-Converter feature set, OG-GEN10 delivers more reference outputs, redundant power options via the openGear chassis, and remote control through Ross DashBoard software.
Nick Rashby, President, AJA, said, “Rapid technological evolution is redefining how content is created and delivered across industries, unlocking extraordinary possibilities but introducing new obstacles along the way.
“Our latest innovations help to clear the path, solving common IP and infrastructure pain points that hold media professionals back as they adopt SMPTE ST 2110 and transition to increasingly sophisticated pipelines.”
To find out more, speak with Rashby and his team at NAB 2026, which is taking place from April 19-22 at the Las Vegas Convention Centre.
