HA5-12G
AJA’s HA5-12G converts an HDMI 2.0 input to 12G-SDI for 4K/UltraHD single link outputs. HA5-12G
includes two 12G-SDI distribution amplifier outputs with eight or two channels of embedded audio
from an HDMI source or two-channel analog audio (RCA) input.
HA5-12G also supports Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) emulation which ensures the
connected source continuously supplies custom preferred video formats on output.
A HA5-12G-T Fiber SFP-equipped model is a single channel transmitter capable of extending HDMI
4K/UltraHD signals over long distances, up to 10km over a single Fiber link. HA5-12G-T ships with a
FiberLC-1T-12G SFP installed and includes all functionality of the HA5-12G, with the added benefit
of extending audio and video signals further.

*HA5-12G devices use approximately 11 watts of power and convection
cooling. They will be warm to the touch, which is normal. When installing a
unit, mount in a location where the device has access to air for proper
cooling. Do not stack a HA5-12G device with other Mini-Converters.
