The AJA HI5 is a professional-grade 3G-SDI to HDMI converter designed to provide a simple, reliable bridge between professional SDI video infrastructure and HDMI monitors or displays. This compact mini-converter accepts 3G, HD, or SD-SDI input and delivers pristine HDMI video with embedded audio, allowing a convenient single-cable connection to HDMI displays. Ideal for broadcast monitoring, digital signage, production studios, and live event applications, the HI5 ensures your SDI sources are seamlessly integrated with cost-effective HDMI monitoring solutions.

Beyond straightforward conversion, the HI5 offers valuable flexibility with a looping SDI output for daisy-chaining additional equipment or connecting to other SDI devices. Dual RCA analog audio outputs provide separate stereo monitoring capability when HDMI audio is not required. The unit features automatic format detection, requiring no configuration for most applications, while internal jumpers offer advanced control over HDMI video output including 8 or 10-bit selection and HDMI or DVI mode. Housed in a rugged metal enclosure, the HI5 delivers broadcast-quality conversion in a compact, portable form factor suitable for any professional environment.
