The OG-12G-AM is an 16-channel AES/EBU audio embedder/disembedder openGear card with support for 12G-SDI input and output up to 4K/UltraHD.
AES/EBU Audio embedding and disembedding is user selectable, on a channel pair basis, to either disembed 12G-SDI input audio or to embed input AES/EBU audio. It uses BNC connectors that can be set to perform audio input or output functionality.
The OG-12G-AM automatically detects and configures the input video standard.
Designed for use in high density openGear 2RU frames, including AJA’s OG-X-FR frame. Ross DashBoard Software supports Windows®, macOS®, and Linux® and provides convenient, configuration, monitoring, and control options for openGear cards and frames via a connected computer or over local network with DashBoard’s web UI.

Video Path Delay
Video Out is a delayed, reclocked version of Video In, at same frame rate, etc. Video Out is undefined when no input.
- Video Latency, time measured between video input and video output connector:
- 12G = 4 µsec
- 6G = 4 µsec
- 3G level A = 4 µsec
- 3G level B = 8 µsec
- HD (1.5 Gb) = 8 µsec
- SD (270 Mb) = 22 µsec
Audio Inputs and Outputs Digital
- AES PCM audio, 8x BNC, up to 16-channels in, 16-channels out, selectable in pairs
