Description
The AJA Dante AV Ultra 12G-SDI / HDMI 4Kp60 Receiver, model DANTE-AV-4K-R-2, is a professional AV-over-IP decoder designed to receive Dante AV Ultra streams over a Gigabit Ethernet network and output them as 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 video. It is built for installations that need reliable 4Kp60 transport with low latency and straightforward integration into managed network environments.
With support for UHD 4K and DCI 4K formats up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 fps, this receiver gives integrators a practical way to deliver high-quality video to displays, projectors, production monitors, and downstream broadcast equipment. PoE+ support on the primary LAN port helps reduce local power requirements, while HDCP 2.2 compatibility supports protected content workflows.
AJA equips the DANTE-AV-4K-R-2 for more than video decoding alone. Dante Controller compatibility enables routing of video, audio, KVM, VISCA, and IR over the network, while USB, RS-422, IR, analog audio, and reference connectivity make it suitable for conference rooms, lecture spaces, live event systems, and hybrid production facilities where centralized signal distribution is critical.
Key Features:- Dante AV Ultra decoding: Receives Dante AV Ultra streams over 1 GigE, allowing 4Kp60 video distribution across standard Ethernet infrastructure with 0.5 frame latency.
- 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 outputs: Provides simultaneous professional and display-friendly video outputs for direct connection to broadcast gear, monitors, and presentation displays.
- 4K and VESA format support: Handles resolutions from 4096 x 2160 and 3840 x 2160 down to common computer display formats such as 1920 x 1200 and 1024 x 768 for mixed AV environments.
- PoE+ and 12 VDC powering: Supports PoE+ 802.3at on the primary LAN port or external 12 VDC input, giving installers flexible power options and reducing cable runs.
- Integrated control and peripheral connectivity: Includes dual USB-A ports, mini-USB, RS-422 on DB-9, IR input/output, and network-based routing support for KVM, VISCA, and control extension.
- Embedded and analog audio options: Supports 8-channel, 48 kHz PCM audio handling and provides 2 RCA analog audio output for local monitoring or system integration.
- HDCP 2.2 and status monitoring: Maintains compatibility with protected HDMI content while front-panel LED indicators provide quick confirmation of power, codec, system, sync, and HDCP status.
- Conference Room AV Distribution: Decode networked 4K video to local HDMI displays and SDI-connected equipment while extending USB and control signals across the room or campus.
- Lecture Hall and Education Systems: Receive Dante AV Ultra feeds from teaching sources or central routing systems and output them to projectors, confidence monitors, and recording chains.
- Live Event and Venue Infrastructure: Use the receiver at remote display points where low-latency 4K over Gigabit Ethernet is required for presentation screens, technical monitoring, or overflow areas.
- Broadcast and Production Support: Convert Dante AV network streams to 12G-SDI for integration with routers, switchers, and reference-based production workflows in control rooms and flypacks.
