AJA DANTE-12GAM single channel 12G-SDI input / output

AJA DANTE-12GAM

Dante, AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110-30 SDI Audio Embedder/Disembedder

The AJA DANTE-12GAM is a high performance Audio over IP (AoIP) Converter, embedding and disembedding SDI audio to a Dante network and back to SDI from Dante audio. Equipped with 12G-SDI input and output and dual etherCON GigE ports, the DANTE-12GAM is capable of simultaneously embedding and disembedding up to 16* channels of audio in and out for a total of 32* audio channels in a compact device.

The DANTE-12GAM is your portal to a vast array of IP audio solutions. Dante networks not only support the Dante audio streams but also support AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110-30 AoIP, providing massive flexibility for all your IP audio needs.

DANTE-12GAM is available with a single channel 12G-SDI input and output, or as two dual channel options:

• DANTE-12GAM-TR-LC (with LC Fiber SFP)
• DANTE-12GAM-TR-BNC (with BNC SFP), which support a total of up to 64 channels of Dante® audio in a compact Mini-Converter form factor.

The single channel can be upgraded to the dual channel version at any time via an optional license and the addition of either the BNC or LC Fiber SFP. No matter the configuration you choose, you can rely on AJA’s legendary build quality and support to give you peace of mind whether you're an individual creator or broadcasting the largest live events.
