AJA Video Systems has unveiled OG-FiDO-4, a new family of openGear-compatible cards offering four channels of conversion between 12G-/3G-SDI and fibre. With nine different models, the OG-FiDO-4 family enables reliable, uncompressed SDI transport over LC fibre and includes DashBoard software support for centralised monitoring. The technology will be demonstrated from 11–14 September during IBC in Amsterdam at RAI Amsterdam, stand 7.B25.
“At a time when multicamera setups are growing in size and complexity across broadcast, live production and proAV environments, extending SDI infrastructure over fibre has never mattered more. The OG-FiDO-4 family delivers practical, cost-efficient solutions with the channel density, signal integrity and dependability that mission-critical environments demand,” said AJA President Nick Rashby.
Key OG-FiDO-4 feature highlights include:
- Nine models are available to choose from, including the base card and AJA Fibre SFP variations such as 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, single-mode and multi-mode models

- An integrated rear I/O card unlocks high-density transport, up to 40 channels in an openGear frame
- DashBoard software support streamlines installation, configuration, monitoring and service updates on Windows and macOS
- Support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) video and pass-through of SDI metadata
- Input Present and Input SMPTE Lock LEDs
