## Long description

The AJA Hi5-12G converts 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0, providing single-cable connectivity for monitoring 4K/UltraHD signals up to 60p. It supports a wide range of video formats (480i, 576i, 720p, 1080i, 1080p and 2160p) and preserves image fidelity while offering reclocked SDI loop output for confidence monitoring or onward SDI distribution. Certain models include a fiber SFP option for long-distance reception or transceiving and the ability to generate HDR metadata compliant with HDMI v2.0 and CTA-861-G.
Advantages
Hi5-12G provides straightforward conversion from 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 with support for high frame rates up to 60p at 4K/UltraHD and reclocked SDI loop out for reliable SDI chaining or monitoring. Fiber-equipped variants (Hi5-12G-R and Hi5-12G-TR) add long-distance fiber reception and transceiver capability, and the unit can generate HDR metadata per HDMI v2.0 / CTA-861-G. Compact dimensions and wide input voltage range make the converter easy to deploy in professional workflows.
Suitable for
Monitoring 4K/UltraHD 12G-SDI sources on HDMI 2.0 displays
On-site broadcast or production confidence monitoring via reclocked SDI loop out
Long-distance 4K signal reception or distribution using fiber SFP models
HDR workflows requiring CTA-861-G compatible metadata generation
Key specifications
Maximum resolution: 4096 x 2160 (2160p)

Fiber SFP models: Hi5-12G-R (receiver), Hi5-12G-TR (transceiver)
HDR metadata: Generates per HDMI v2.0 / CTA-861-G
Power: 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz
Dimensions (W x D x H): 116.8 mm x 102.1 mm x 22.9 mm
How to use
Connect the 12G-SDI source to the Hi5-12G BNC input and attach an HDMI 2.0 cable from the Hi5-12G output to the display. If confidence monitoring or downstream SDI distribution is required, use the reclocked SDI loop out. For fiber models, insert the appropriate SFP module and connect the fiber cable to receive or pass through the signal; configure the Video Source Auto Switch Over feature on Hi5-12G-R and Hi5-12G-TR as needed to select input priority behavior.
Usage recommendations
Use HDMI 2.0–compatible displays and high-quality cables to maintain signal integrity at 4K/60p. When deploying fiber SFP models, choose SFP modules and fiber types that match your link budget and distance requirements, and set the switch-over priority according to your workflow (Last Valid Input, Priority SDI, or Priority Optical).
