AJA Hi5-3D HD-SDI Multiplexer To HDMI 1.4a and SDI Video and Audio Converter Introduction The Hi5-3D is a 3D video multiplexer that combines two 3G or HD-SDI Inputs into various multiplexed 3D formats for output on HDMI 1.4a and HD-SDI. Non- 3D input (SD-SDI, HD-SDI or 3G) at either input will be passed to the HDMI output.
AJA Mini Config software (Mac/PC). Format Support The Hi5-3D works with both 2D and 3D inputs. When in the 2D mode, the input is simply passed to the output unmodified—or flipped (via dipswitch or Mini Config software selection).
4. Apply +5 to 20VDC power to the converter (AJA power supply model DWP or DWP-U). 5. The Hi5-3D will now run using the default factory settings.
