The AJA HA5-4K is an indispensable tool for integrating HDMI-based 4K cameras and sources into professional video production environments that rely on SDI cabling. The converter accepts a single HDMI 2.0 input and outputs four 3G-SDI signals to carry the full 4K (4096x2160) or UltraHD (3840x2160) video resolution. This conversion enables compatibility with professional video switchers, recorders, and monitors. The HA5-4K supports frame rates up to 50/60 fps at 4:2:0, ensuring smooth motion and high visual fidelity.

For added versatility, the device also automatically detects and converts HD and 2K HDMI signals to a single 3G-SDI output. Embedded audio from the HDMI source is passed through to the SDI outputs, ensuring audio and video remain perfectly in sync. The HA5-4K can be configured and updated via a USB connection using AJA's free MiniConfig software, offering a user-friendly graphical interface for settings control. Its compact and rugged design makes it suitable for both in-studio installations and mobile, on-location shoots.
