AJA - 'OG-DANTE-12GAM'
openGear, Dante Audio Embedder/DisembedderOG-DANTE-12GAM is an openGear, Dante audio embedder/disembedder, with dual 12G-SDI input and output ports providing up to 32-channels of audio embedding and 32-channels of disembedding simultaneously. OG-DANTE-12GAM provides the bridge between SDI and Dante infrastructures.
Dante audio networking provides digital audio distribution over local and wide-area networks with low latency, using standard network hardware or by connecting into a standard network infrastructure. This offers many advantages over analog, AES, and MADI infrastructures, including audio system scalability, easier installation, and simplified wiring.
A fully populated OG-X-FR openGear frame with ten OG-DANTE-12GAM cards, provides an incredible 640-channels of audio bridging in a rack-mountable form factor for a wide range of needs.
Amazing Features
• Support for 12G/6G/3G-SDI audio embedding to- and from- the Dante audio ecosystem
• Compatible with a range of Dante Software from Audinate including Dante Controller for routing and configuration choices
• Dual, and independent 12G-SDI Input/Output ports, each supporting 16-audio channels,
totaling 64-channels per card in a compact design
• 1x Primary and 1x Secondary Gigabit Ethernet ports for Dante network redundancy

OG-DANTE-12GAM Overview VideoOG-DANTE-12GAM provides the bridge between SDI and Dante ecosystems.
Watch this video for an introduction on the many benefits and advantages Dante audio over IP offers for embedding and disembedding to and from professional SDI workflows.
Dante Professional Standard Audio
Dante: The Audio Networking Standard for the Pro AV IndustryDante audio networking provides digital audio distribution over local and wide area networking with low latency (< 1 ms), using standard network hardware or by connecting into a standard network infrastructure. This offers many advantages, including audio system scalability, easier installation, and simplified wiring.
Dante also allows uncompressed, multi-channel, low latency high-resolution digital audio to be distributed across a switched Ethernet network using standard TCP/IP protocols while meeting the stringent quality requirements of professional audio.
Dante audio is the primary choice for ProAV system integrators and a growing number of broadcasters and is widely adopted by 450 manufacturers offering 2500+ Dante device types.
• Current solutions require many devices, or a very high price to accomplish this bridging. DANTE reduces the amount of gear required to perform this bridging function.
• DANTE audio provides a redundant infrastructure with two networks, a primary and secondary 1 GigE ports, which provide users with a robust system of audio transport.
• DANTE audio solutions also provides a synchronization solution that is not met by other solutions for audio over IP.
Bridge Between SDI/Danta Sources and DestinationsOG-DANTE-12GAM bridges between SDI sources and destinations with embedded audio to/from the Dante audio ecosystem. It's your SDI/Dante Gateway.
• OG-DANTE-12GAM provides two 12G-SDI ports for input and two ports for outputs, providing single cable support of 4K/UltraHD/2K/HD/SD video material and up to 16-channels of embedded audio support per SDI connection. This enables 64-channels of SDI/Dante bridging simultaneously.
• Audio can be bridged, mapped and embedded from Dante sources into each SDI stream or disembedded from SDI and served to Dante destinations using Dante Controller software.
• Redundancy across the Primary and Secondary 1 GigE Ethernet connections in OG-DANTE-12GAM for Dante audio, provides security and peace of mind.
• The openGear format offers high density with up to 10 cards within each openGear frame.
• This all adds up to 640-channels of audio bridging between SDI and Dante audio in a single rack frame, ideal for flykits, OB vans and facilities.
• The openGear OG-X-FR frame itself supports redundant power supplies, critical for live environments and constant up time.
OG-DANTE-12GAM WorkflowOG-DANTE-12GAM is your bridge between embedded SDI audio and Dante sources and destinations. With Dante Controller software, you can route sources and destinations wherever required across 1 GigE networks.
Embed your DAW audio outputs into your video projects for mastering and more. Disembed your SDI program's audio content and deliver across the network to drive mixers, amplifiers and more in live venue contexts.
Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports
ConnectivityThe OG-DANTE-12GAM provides two 12G-SDI inputs and two 12G-SDI outputs alongside Gigabit Primary and Secondary Ethernet ports. OG-DANTE-12GAM automatically detects and configures to the SDI input video standard. Simple user controls in Dashboard and Dante Controller allow channel enabling and mapping to and from SDI and DANTE.
