AJA Bridge Live 3G-8 1RU Turnkey System For Streaming And Transcoding 8 Bidirectional 3G-SDI

AJA Bridge Live 3G-8 1RU Turnkey System For Streaming And Transcoding 8 Bidirectional 3G-SDI is a rackmount multi-channel encoder, decoder, and IP transcoder designed for high-density broadcast workflows. Housed in a standard 1 RU chassis weighing 18.1 lb, it integrates 8x BNC (3G-SDI) bidirectional inputs/outputs alongside 4x DisplayPort monitor outputs. Built to handle up to 8 simultaneous streams across H.264, H.265, MPEG-2, and MJPEG codecs, it features dual 2x IEC C13/C14 power inputs supporting 100 to 240 VAC (190 W) for reliable rack operation. Highlights 8-Channel Bidirectional 3G-SDI I/O supporting SMPTE 259M-C, 292M, 424M, ST 2081-10, and ST 2082-11 standards Multi-Format Encoding and Decoding for H.264, H.265, MPEG-2, and MJPEG across 8 simultaneous streams Broad IP Protocol Transport Support including SRT, NDI, RTMP, RTSP, HLS, TCP/IP, and UDP 4x DisplayPort Monitor Outputs for local monitoring and feed verification directly from the hardware Redundant Power Architecture powered via 2x IEC C13/C14 power inputs in a compact 1 RU form factor Quick Specs & Uses Rack Form Factor: 1 RU Transmission I/O: 8x BNC (3G-SDI) Input/Output Monitor Outputs: 4x DisplayPort Monitor Output Simultaneous Streams: 8 Streams Video Encoding/Decoding Codecs: H.264, H.265, MPEG-2, MJPEG Supported Resolutions: 720 x 480 to 1920 x 1080 Supported Frame Rates: 23.98, 24.00, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94, 60.00 fps Video Standard Compliance: SMPTE 259M-C, 292M, 424M, ST 2081-10, ST 2082-11 Transport Protocols: HLS, NDI, RTMP, RTSP, SRT, TCP/IP, UDP Wireless Transmission: No Power I/O: 2x IEC C13/C14 Input Power Supply / Consumption: 100 to 240 VAC (190 W) Operating Conditions: 41 to 95°F / 5 to 35°C at 8 to 90% Humidity Storage Conditions: -40 to 104°F / -40 to 40°C at 5 to 95% Humidity Unit Dimensions: 17.2 x 16.9 x 1.7" / 436.9 x 429.3 x 43.2 mm Unit Weight: 18.1 lb / 8.2 kg Why It Helps This turnkey server consolidates multi-channel encoding, decoding, and IP stream conversion into a single 1 RU footprint. Supporting bi-directional 3G-SDI along with major IP transport protocols like SRT, NDI, and RTMP, Bridge Live keeps live transmission pipelines streamlined without needing multiple standalone conversion boxes.
