AJA Bridge Live 3G-8 1RU Turnkey System For Streaming And Transcoding 8 Bidirectional 3G-SDI

AJA Bridge Live 3G-8 1RU Turnkey System For Streaming And Transcoding 8 Bidirectional 3G-SDI is a rackmount multi-channel encoder, decoder, and IP transcoder designed for high-density broadcast workflows. Housed in a standard 1 RU chassis weighing 18.1 lb, it integrates 8x BNC (3G-SDI) bidirectional inputs/outputs alongside 4x DisplayPort monitor outputs. Built to handle up to 8 simultaneous streams across H.264, H.265, MPEG-2, and MJPEG codecs, it features dual 2x IEC C13/C14 power inputs supporting 100 to 240 VAC (190 W) for reliable rack operation.

Highlights

• 8-Channel Bidirectional 3G-SDI I/O supporting SMPTE 259M-C, 292M, 424M, ST 2081-10, and ST 2082-11 standards
• Multi-Format Encoding and Decoding for H.264, H.265, MPEG-2, and MJPEG across 8 simultaneous streams
• Broad IP Protocol Transport Support including SRT, NDI, RTMP, RTSP, HLS, TCP/IP, and UDP
• 4x DisplayPort Monitor Outputs for local monitoring and feed verification directly from the hardware
• Redundant Power Architecture powered via 2x IEC C13/C14 power inputs in a compact 1 RU form factor
