OG-Hi5-12G Card Installation
Caution! The SFP module must be removed from an OG-Hi5-12G 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.

OG-Hi5-12G SDI to HDMI 2.0 Converter v1.0 11 www.aja.com
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
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-Hi5-12G 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 8.
Figure 8. 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 9.
Figure 9. 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.

OG-Hi5-12G SDI to HDMI 2.0 Converter v1.0 12 www.aja.com
8. Close the frame door as follows:
A. Slide the door into the frame.
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.

• Auto - automatically selects color space based on the input video parameters
and payload ID.
• 4:2:2 YCbCr
• 4:4:4 RGB
• 4:4:4 YCbCr
Bit Depth
Selects the input video bit depth. Choose from Auto, 8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit.
Choosing “Auto” automatically selects the bit depth based on the input video and
the attached device’s capabilities. High frame rate (HFR) 4K/UltraHD 4:4:4 limited
to 8 bits. DVI output is limited to 8 bits.
RGB Range
Selects the Input Video Color Range when the input is RGB. Does not apply when
the input is YCbCr. Choose SMPTE or Full color range.
Switch Over Priority
Selects which input (SDI or Optical) is the preferred input. This selection is valid
only when an AJA optical SFP is installed. If and when the selected input signal is
no longer detected, the auto switchover circuit will fail over to the non-priority
input if present. Choose from Last Valid Input, SDI Input, or Optical Input.
3G-B Mode
Selects the 3G level B Video Mode. Choose from the following:
• Auto - automatically selects the format based on the input video parameters.
• Level B-DL
• B-DS Link 1 - use Link 1

Video Format
This control can be used to force the OG-Hi5-12G's input video receiver to
interpret that incoming video signal as either Progressive, interlaced, or PsF
(Progressive Sequential Frame).
The default setting is Auto, in which the OG-Hi5-12G examines the incoming
video signal to determine which format is appropriate.

OG-Hi5-12G SDI to HDMI 2.0 Converter v1.0 19 www.aja.com
Choose from Auto, Progressive, Interlaced, or PsF.
• Auto - Automatically selects the format based on the input video parameters
and the Video Payload ID (VPID).
• Progressive - Forces the OG-Hi5-12G to interpret the incoming video as
Progressive.
• Interlaced - Forces the OG-Hi5-12G to interpret the incoming video as
Interlaced.
• PsF - Forces the OG-Hi5-12G to interpret the incoming video as PsF.
Under normal circumstances you should always run in Auto mode. However,
because interlaced and PsF formats are essentially the same signal, the
OG-Hi5-12G might confuse them. For example, if you know for sure that you
receiving a PsF signal, but the OG-Hi5-12G is interpreting it as an Interlaced signal
while running in Auto mode, setting this control to PsF will force the receiver to
interpret that signal as PsF. However, if the OG-Hi5-12G is receiving a Progressive
signal and you force it to interpret it as Interlaced, an invalid output video signal
will be created.

When the incoming signal is 4K or UltraHD and the HDMI/DVI control is set to
"DVI," the output will be down sampled to deliver a 2048x1080 or 1920x1080
image. The down sampling is accomplished by passing only one of the 2SI
quadrants from the SDI input signal. The output will appear to be a full picture,
but is actually only one quarter of the total pixels. This feature is very helpful
when connecting to a non-4K/UltraHD preview monitor.
