OG-HA5-12G Card Installation
Caution! The SFP module must be removed from an OG-HA5-12G card before
inserting the card into or removing the card from an openGear frame.
1. If necessary, remove the SFP module from the Front Card by lifting the lever
(also referred to as a "bale") and pulling out the module.
2. Open the openGear frame door as follows:
A. Gently pull the side door tabs towards the center of the door, releasing the
door from the frame.
B. Using both hands, pull the door towards you. The door extender arms
prevent the door from falling.
3. Locate the rear plate you installed as described above. The interior slot
number is dependent on the slot combinations into which you installed the

OG-HA5-12G HDMI 2.0 to 12G-SDI Converter v1.0 10 www.aja.com
rear plate. This allows adequate spacing to avoid damaging the card, the
cards installed in the neighboring slots, or both.
4. Hold the card by the edges and carefully align the card edges with the rails
inside the frame. The slots are numbered starting from the left-most slot
when facing the frame front.
IMPORTANT: OG-HA5-12G cards are installed into the left (odd numbered) slot of the pair
in order to connect with the rear plate.
5. Insert the card into the frame until the card is properly seated in the Rear
Plate. After you feel the card's first click, its position in the frame will
resemble Figure 7.
Figure 7. Card on Right Not Fully Inserted
6. Next, press against the white plastic tab again until you feel the second
click. Make sure that the plastic tab at the bottom of the front edge of the
card is completely upright. If it is tilting forward, the card is not yet fully
inserted. A properly seated card position should resemble Figure 8.
Figure 8. Card Fully Inserted, White Plastic Tab Upright
7. Some OG cards require more pressure than others to be fully inserted.
Because this OG card has a rear SFP port that passes through the rear plate,
alignment is especially important. Do not apply excessive force if you
cannot completely insert the card into its slot.
NOTE: If the SFP port at the rear of the card fails to line up with the square opening in the
rear plate, the card will fail to insert fully into the rack. Please contact AJA Support
if you are experiencing this issue.
8. Close the frame door as follows:
A. Slide the door into the frame.

OG-HA5-12G HDMI 2.0 to 12G-SDI Converter v1.0 11 www.aja.com
B. Pull and release the door tabs to ensure the frame door is securely locked
to the frame.
9. After the front card is fully seated, locate the card retention screw on the
rear plate. Torque the card-retention screw into the front card's L bracket
using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
10. Insert the SFP ber module into the socket until it clicks and locks. The lever
handle is on the left.
NOTE: The SFP module must match the card’s capabilities for proper operation. Input
and output triangles next to the fiber ports identify which are inputs and which
are outputs.
IMPORTANT: Reverse these steps for removal of the front card to avoid damage to the
SFP. Remove the SFP, unscrew the card retention screw, and then withdraw the
front card from the frame.

About Bits Per Pixel
With HDMI, YCbCr is always reported as 24bpp, which is 12 bit depth (whether the
input signal is 8, 10, or 12 bit depth).
To determine the bit depth for RGB, divide the bpp by 3. For example:
• 24bpp = 8 bit depth
• 30bpp = 10 bit depth
• 36bpp = 12 bit depth

OG-HA5-12G HDMI 2.0 to 12G-SDI Converter v1.0 18 www.aja.com
RGB Range
Selects the Input Video Color Range for RGB signals.
NOTE: This setting has no effect on YCbCr signals.
Choose from:
• Auto (default)
• SMPTE
• Full
Preprocess

EDID Tab Screen
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is used to find the highest signal
resolution that is compatible with both the source and the destination (sink)
devices. When an HDMI source device is initially connected to the OG-HA5-12G,
the OG-HA5-12G sends its EDID information to that source. The source uses this
information to decide what format to send.
Preferred Video Format
The OG-HA5-12G's EDID setting can be configured by the user to any of the
following formats and frame rates:
Auto
1280x720p50
1280x720p60
1920x1080i25
1920x1080i30
1920x1080p50
1920x1080p60

2048x1080p60
3840x2160p50
3840x2160p60
YCbCr Support
This parameter determines whether the OG-HA5-12G will signal to its HDMI
source that the OG-HA5-12G will support (Yes) or will not support (No) YCbCr
input formats.
NOTE: RGB formats are always supported by default in an HDMI sink.

• Auto - (default) The OG-HA5-12G automatically detects the RGB range (if the
input signal is RGB).
• SMPTE
• Full
P to PsF
Choose to convert incoming progressive format HDMI video to PsF SDI video.
• Off - (default) No conversion.
• On - Converts the video to PsF (if it is progressive format and low frame rate).
3G-SDI Mode
Selects the 3G SDI Video Mode. Choose from the following:
• Level A - (default)
• Level B

Pad/Crop
Selects pixel padding and cropping conversions between UltraHD and 4K
formats. Choose from the following:
• Off - (default) No processing.
• Pad - Add black pixels to the left and right sides of the raster to fill a wider
aspect ratio (UltraHD to 4K, or HD to 2K).
• Crop - Crop pixels from left and right sides of the raster to fit a narrower aspect
ratio (4K to UltraHD, or 2K to HD).
Frame Rate
The Frame Rate control can be set to convert an integer input frame rate (like
p60) to the matching fractional or non-integer output frame rate (like p59.94).
The frame rate converter accomplishes this by dropping a complete video frame
every 1001 frames. This control can also be set to convert a fractional or non-
integer input frame rate (like p59.94) to an integer output frame rate (like p60),
accomplished by repeating a complete video frame every 1000 frames.
NOTE: Because audio is disembedded prior to any video processing and then re-
embedded after video processing, there will be no disruption to audio when the
frame rate converter is working.
• Off (default) - No frame rate conversion will be performed. The output frame
rate will match the input frame rate.
• Fractional - If the input frame rate is an integer frame rate, the output frame
rate will be converted to the matching fractional frame rate. Fractional frame
rate input signals are unaffected.
• Integer - If the input frame rate is a fractional frame rate, the output frame rate
will be converted to the matching integer frame rate. Integer frame rate input
signals are unaffected.
HDR Tab Screen
Output override controls on this screen can be used to replace incoming or
missing HDR metadata with alternative values for the OG-HA5-12G's SDI VPID
outputs. See "HDR Information Screen" on page 16 for related information.
SDR/HDR
This setting controls what SDR/HDR metadata value is applied to the video
output.
• Auto - Passes the SDR/HDR value from the video input to the output.
• SDR - An SDR value is applied to the output.
• PQ - A PQ value is applied to the output.
• HLG - An HLG value is applied to the output.
