AJA Introduces Hi5-3D Mini-Converter For Stereo 3D Monitoring

The Hi5-3D’s true HDMI 1.4a output supports EDID transactions that automatically configure 2D/3D functions according to the HDMI monitor’s capabilities. Input SDI 2 is frame-synchronized to input SDI 1 in 3D modes and SDI input audio is embedded in both the HDMI and SDI outputs. Hi5-3D also supports 2-channel RCA audio output with user control of channel selection, along with AJA’s Mini-Config application for user configuration and firmware download. Other key features include:
· Side-by-side, top-bottom and frame-packing modes
· Complete H and V image flip control in any combination
· Easy user control via dipswitch or USB
· Support for both 2D and 3D inputs.

“3D has brought a new level of complexity to post-production workflows, and our goal is to help simplify that,” said AJA President Nick Rashby. “The Hi5-3D converter automatically combines SDI input into stereo output and enables video pros to quickly and easily view 3D on a monitor or projector without making major changes to the workflows they already have in place.”

Hi5-3D is available In October, and US MSRP is $495.
