Description
The AJA OG-GEN10 is a cost-effective SD, HD, and AES-11 sync generator designed for openGear environments that require stable reference distribution across multiple devices. It provides 10 total outputs, including two independently controlled groups of SD/HD sync outputs and one AES-11 digital audio sync output.
Built to supply accurate timing from a common master time base, the OG-GEN10 helps keep video and audio equipment locked together throughout broadcast, post, and facility infrastructure workflows. HD tri-level sync supports 19 selectable HD formats, while SD outputs can be set to Color Black or Color Bars to match system requirements.
For engineers managing mixed-format installations, the AJA OG-GEN10 simplifies reference generation by allowing simultaneous HD and SD sync from a single card, reducing the need for additional distribution equipment. Remote setup through Ross DashBoard software and compatibility with multiple openGear frames make it a practical fit for modern rack-based systems.
Key Features:- Dual SD/HD Output Groups: Two independently switchable output groups allow simultaneous HD tri-level sync and SD reference generation for mixed-format system timing.
- 9x Synchronized Reference Outputs: Multiple synced outputs can feed several devices at once, helping reduce the need for a separate sync distribution amplifier in compact or centralized installations.
- 19 HD Sync Formats: Selectable HD tri-level formats support a wide range of current HD workflows, making integration easier across broadcast and production equipment.
- SD Color Black or Color Bars: SD outputs can be switched between Color Black and Color Bars to support reference distribution, setup, and troubleshooting tasks.
- AES-11 Output with Silence or Tone: The dedicated AES-11 output provides digital audio reference with selectable silence or tone for audio synchronization and line checking.
- Ross DashBoard Control: Remote configuration through macOS, Windows, and Linux systems enables convenient card management inside compatible openGear frames.
- Redundant Power Support: Optional frame-based redundant power and hot-swap card compatibility help maintain operation in critical broadcast infrastructure.
- Broadcast Master Reference: Provide centralized SD, HD, and AES-11 sync to routers, converters, monitors, and processing gear in on-air or production facilities.
- Mixed-Format Engineering Racks: Support systems running both SD and HD equipment by feeding independent reference types from a single openGear card.
- Post-Production Technical Rooms: Keep video and digital audio devices locked to a common timing source for reliable editing, finishing, and QC workflows.
- Mobile and Space-Conscious Installations: Deliver multiple synchronized outputs in an openGear frame where rack efficiency and simplified infrastructure are important.
