AJA OG-UDC 3G-SDI Up, Down, Cross-Converter Card with DashBoard Support

AJA OG-UDC 3G-SDI Up, Down, Cross-Converter Card with Dashboard Support is an openGear-based 10-bit broadcast-quality up, down, and cross converter designed to bridge SD, HD, and 3G-SDI video resolutions in high-density rack environments. It provides 3G-SDI input and output, a 10-bit HDMI output for monitoring, and balanced analog audio outputs, making it a practical format-normalization tool for facilities that need clean, predictable conversions inside an openGear frame.
