About the AJA ROI DVI/HDMI to SDI
The AJA ROI DVI/HDMI to SDI is a professional, dual-format video converter designed to bridge computer and consumer video sources with professional broadcast systems. This compact, standalone device accepts both DVI-D and HDMI input signals, providing flexibility to connect a wide variety of sources including laptops, media players, graphics workstations, and gaming consoles. It reliably converts these signals into broadcast-standard SDI outputs (3G-SDI, HD-SDI, or SD-SDI), making the content seamlessly compatible with professional switchers, routers, monitors, and recorders. The converter handles a broad spectrum of common computer and video resolutions and frame rates, ensuring a stable and standards-compliant output for integration into live production, broadcast, and installed AV workflows.
A key feature is its ability to embed audio into the SDI output stream. It can extract audio embedded within the HDMI signal or accept analog audio via a 3.5mm stereo input, then professionally embed it into the SDI output, synchronizing audio and video for a complete production-ready signal. The unit is built for reliability in demanding environments, requiring no software or drivers for operation. Status LEDs provide clear indication of input signal detection, output format, and audio presence. Powered by a standard external DC supply, it is easy to deploy in both fixed installations and mobile production racks.
By providing a high-quality, hardware-based conversion from the most common computer and consumer video interfaces to professional SDI, the AJA ROI DVI/HDMI to SDI solves a fundamental integration challenge. It is an essential tool for video engineers, broadcast facilities, and AV integrators who need to reliably bring virtually any modern video source into a professional SDI-based infrastructure.
