The AJA Hi5-3D Mini-converter combines dual 3G SDI inputs to form various multiplexed 3D formats for output on true 3D HDMI 1.4a and SDI monitors. It supports both 2D and 3D inputs using 2 BNC connectors and offers a simple and flexible stereoscopic view on 3D monitors and projection systems ideal for use in postproduction work of 3D formats.
EDID transactions are made possible due to Hi5-3D's true HDMI 1.4a output, and the transactions make configuring 2D/3D functions fully automatic for use with various HDMI monitors. The mini converter frame-synchronizes SDI 2 input to input SDI 1 in 3D modes, and embeds SDI input in both HDMI and SDI outputs. It also features user controlled channel selection for 2 RCA audio output channels.
The frame-packing mode puts two full resolution input frames with 23.98/24Hz input frame rates into a stack, and the side-by-side and top-bottom mode compresses the images either horizontally or vertically and multiplexes the signals into a single video stream. In addition to 3D processing, the Hi-5 mini-converter flips each input via 4 switches that can be engaged in any combination.The AJA's Mini-Config application facilitates for user configuration and firmware download.
