The AJA BRIDGE LIVE 12G-4 is a high-density IP workflow solution for synchronous, multi-channel video transport and contribution, backhaul, direct-to-audience streaming, remote production, and distribution encoding. Offering four BNC bi-directional 12G-SDI ports in a compact 1RU enclosure, BRIDGE LIVE 12G-4 unlocks cost-efficient multi-camera/source UltraHD IP video, decreasing per-channel video costs. It also enables broadcast, production, and AV professionals to easily convert video between SDI and industry-standard IP video codecs and protocols, such as H.264, H.265, NDI, SRT, RTMP, and HLS, addressing essential encoding, decoding, and transcoding needs across live video environments.
The BRIDGE LIVE 12G-4 can create adaptive bitrate channels directly from SDI sources, like H.264 or HEVC, for hand-off with ABR ladder profiles encoding. Additionally, it can serve SDI video encoding for live productions, where video is delivered as the intended or intermediate format, like H.264/5, 4:2:0. This allows telco, IPTV, and cable operators to leverage the output for further processing or direct streaming to their networks.
