AJA Video Systems

Professional Video I/O, IP Video, Conversion, Routing, Streaming and Broadcast Infrastructure

AJA Video Systems develops professional video technologies for broadcast, live production, post-production, sports, houses of worship, corporate media, education, and other demanding production environments. AJA products are widely used to connect, convert, transport, capture, monitor, synchronize, and deliver professional video and audio across SDI, HDMI, fiber, and IP-based workflows.

From compact Mini Converters and professional I/O devices to advanced SMPTE ST 2110 gateways, SRT streaming systems, openGear infrastructure, routers, recorders, and HDR production tools, AJA provides building blocks for both traditional baseband and next-generation IP video facilities.

Video over IP and SMPTE ST 2110

As production facilities transition from SDI to network-based infrastructure, AJA provides solutions for integrating SMPTE ST 2110 video, audio, and ancillary data into professional workflows.

AJA IP products can help broadcasters and production teams bridge the gap between existing SDI equipment and ST 2110 infrastructure, enabling facilities to modernize while protecting investments in existing cameras, switchers, routers, monitors, and other production equipment.

These technologies are particularly valuable for broadcast facilities, sports production, control rooms, mobile units, remote production, and hybrid SDI and IP video environments.

SRT, Streaming and Remote Production

AJA also supports internet-based contribution and remote production workflows using technologies such as SRT, RTMP, HLS, and other IP streaming protocols.

Products such as the AJA BRIDGE LIVE family provide multi-channel encoding, decoding, transcoding, and IP video transport capabilities for moving professional video between remote locations, production facilities, and cloud-based services.

SRT can provide reliable, low-latency video transport across unpredictable networks by helping compensate for packet loss, jitter, and changing network conditions. This makes it useful for remote production, live sports, news contribution, facility-to-facility transport, and other applications where dedicated connectivity may be impractical or too expensive.

Video Conversion and Connectivity

AJA is particularly well known for professional video conversion and signal processing.

AJA Mini Converters and other conversion products help connect equipment using different video formats, resolutions, interfaces, and transport technologies. Depending on the product, applications can include:

• SDI to HDMI and HDMI to SDI conversion
• Fiber optic video transport
• Format and frame rate conversion
• Up, down, and cross conversion
• Audio embedding and de-embedding
• IP video conversion
• HDR workflow integration
• Synchronization and reference generation

These tools are useful for solving interoperability problems when integrating equipment from multiple manufacturers into a single production workflow.

openGear Infrastructure

AJA offers an extensive range of openGear cards for high-density broadcast and production infrastructure.

openGear provides a modular approach that allows multiple processing, conversion, distribution, synchronization, and transport functions to be installed within a shared rack frame. Compatible solutions can also provide centralized monitoring and control through the openGear ecosystem.

For larger facilities, this approach can reduce rack space, simplify cabling, provide redundant power options, and make infrastructure easier to expand as requirements change.

Professional Recording and Playback

AJA’s Ki Pro family provides professional recording and playback capabilities for production, broadcast, live events, and post-production.

These systems are designed for workflows that require dependable acquisition and playback via professional video connections and production-friendly recording formats. Applications range from isolated camera recording and master recording to playback and integration with larger production systems.

Professional Video I/O and Post Production

AJA also develops professional video and audio I/O hardware that connects computers and workstations to broadcast and production equipment.

Products such as the KONA and Io families are used in editing, color correction, graphics, finishing, monitoring, and other professional media workflows. They provide the bridge between software-based production environments and professional SDI, HDMI, audio, and IP infrastructure.

HDR, Monitoring and Signal Analysis

Modern facilities increasingly need to work with multiple resolutions, frame rates, color spaces, HDR formats, and delivery standards. AJA provides monitoring, conversion, and analysis technologies designed to help production teams maintain signal integrity throughout these complex workflows.

These capabilities are particularly valuable for broadcast engineering, quality control, post-production, live production, and troubleshooting applications where operators need confidence that video and audio signals are being transported and processed correctly.
